Roasted with purpose
A cleaner footprint
Our beans are ethically sourced and organic when possible, roasted on the Bellwether Roaster — one of the most sustainable roasting systems in the world. The result is a carefully roasted coffee with a cleaner footprint and a beautifully consistent cup.
The story behind Pioneer
Pioneer was our first roast — the beginning, and still our most popular.
We named it Pioneer for the street where Function Coffee Co. launched: the roast that set everything in motion and paved the way for all that followed.
This is not a flavored coffee. The tasting notes describe the natural flavors and aromas found in the coffee.
