These beans come from several smallholder farmers in the Gamoga region of eastern Uganda who process their coffees at the Sironko Coffee Yard. Here, Norman Mukuru, a maestro in coffee processing, meticulously oversees the transformation of cherries into the distinctive Lava Cherry and StratoBerry lots. Ours come specifically from the latter. Extended drying leads into a 24-hour fermentation period to draw out a particularly juicy, fruit-forward profile.
The terroir and processing will hit you at first whiff: mega-fruity, candy-like bubblegum notes that only get brighter once you brew on a V60, Chemex, Aeropress, or filter machine. Try out a cold brew during the warmer months and thank us later.
Fucking Strong Coffee is a specialty coffee brand from the folks behind Good Beans - a beloved bean shop tucked amongst the canals of Amsterdam. We built the brand in 2018 as a response to the monotonous, snobby tone that had infected most of the specialty coffee world. Minimalist cafes, ridiculously technical language, pretentious branding, and moralizing eye rolls… they all snarkily whispered the same thing: specialty coffee is for the few. You want to know what we think…? Fuck that.
In many ways, our beans are fancy as fuck. We traceably source coffee from small, top-notch producers who are paid far above market price for meticulously processing their cherries and sustainably maintaining their land. In Amsterdam, we specialty roast with the type of care that would make any smirking barista smile – bringing out bold, surprising flavors that we’re always jazzed to share with our friends.
Our fresh beans are packed in our signature resealable cans (which you can refill for a discount at our Amsterdam shop if you're in town) or in swanky black kilo bags. We roast weekly and ship within 2-3 business days.
