Buzzfeed move aside, this frivolous clickbait is for the specialty coffee lovers. Find out which of our coffees best suits each type of dad.
Whether you’re a grandfather, a new father, a pet dad, a plant owner, or are shopping for one, we have the perfect match for any coffee-loving dad. You can find each of these coffees on our online store.
Cosmopolitan Dad
Does your dad go to museums, restaurant openings, or art galleries? Does his apartment feel like the set of Frasier? Is he well-read but reserved? This luxury dad celebrates the finer things in life and loves to be surrounded by classic, but pricey, objects—he always opts for long-term quality rather than yesterday’s fads. The Woke Up in New York, our signature drip blend, is just as classic-yet-refined as the Cosmopolitan Dad, but at an easier price point.


Outdoorsy Dad
The Outdoorsy Dad is difficult to pin down. He might play sports in the park, he might be a beach bum, or he might go camping all summer. He might hang out on the porch for hours smoking meats. But, most Outdoorsy Dads have a few things in common: they love dogs, campfires, yacht rock, and ice-cold beer (or seltzer). The 32 Degrees Cold Brew is built to stay delicious for hours in your Outdoorsy Dad’s favorite cooler on warm, sunny days.
Hype Dad
Comme des Garçons. Aimé Leon Dore. Issey Miyake. The Hype Dad knows exactly what the moment is—he’s the moment himself. He has Depop, Grailed, and Adidas Confirmed accounts. He researches up-and-coming Japanese brands and his lifestyle icon would be Rick Owens, if he could only get rid of his sneaker collection. The Colombia José Giraldo Gesha, like the Hype Dad, isn’t just about being on trend, but about having such a strong and iconic personal style that others would pay good money to be like you.


Workaholic Dad
The Workaholic Dad is always moving. He wakes up before 7AM, works past 6PM, and goes and goes until it’s 7AM again. He wants to eat healthy, but all he has time for is pre-packaged food and desk lunches. You may or may not give your Workaholic Dad a tie or a fancy planner every year as a gift. Like a chocolate bar with a punch of caffeine, the Crowd Pleaser Espresso Blend is perfect for someone who needs over 4 shots of espresso to get through their long day—whether he’s commuting 45 minutes to get to work or walking 10 steps to his computer.
Nerdy Dad
This dad collects things. Whether it’s comic books, whiskeys, DVDs, vintage video games, hats, figurines, rocks, crystals, rare vinyl, or ventriloquist dummies, he wants to have them on display. The Nerdy Dad knows way too much about one of the following: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel or Star Trek. Like the Nerdy Dad, the Mexico La Joya Lot V4 was born out of love, curiosity, and obsession; Samuel Ronzon, the producer behind it, has been called the Mad Scientist of the coffee world for his famous experiments with coffee fermentation.


Jet-Setting Dad
This dad can pack for a week-long trip with his eyes closed. Jet-Setting Dad has Global Entry, an international driver’s license, and a hundred stickers on his carry-on; he’s stayed in youth hostels, 4-star hotels, and the back of his car. When his kids (if he had them) became adults, he went all-out traveling and never stopped. The Indonesia Tuang Kartika is a special, highly localized coffee varietal. It tells a story that’ll take Jet-Setting Dad directly to the Indonesian island Flores, however far away it may actually be.
