Caminos Del Inka

Prodigal Coffee is what happens when a guy who literally wrote the book on roasting teams up with a chef who got tired of cooking. Scott Rao—The Coffee Roaster's Companion, thirty years deep—and Mark Benedetto, chef-turned-Q-Grader, run this US-based specialty roaster. They roast every Monday, light and bright, single origins and espressos that actually taste like their flavor notes promise. Peach. Raspberry. Black tea. The light roasts need a few weeks of rest before they peak—patience rewarded with clarity and sweetness. Sourcing from Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya. A weekly subscription keeps fresh beans coming. Green coffee too, if that's your thing. No fluff, just coffee roasted by people who know exactly what they're doing.
