Est. 2019 · Denver, CO
Roasted for the ones who are up before the sun. We are putting an end to burnt corporate coffee and pretentious coffee culture with organic, small-batch beans roasted with precision and without the ego, the jargon or the cover-up.
Reviews
Found them by accident on the way to the mountains. Best accident I have had. Armageddon is the one I reorder.
Consistently outstanding and the freshness is unbeatable. I have tried every roast and The Antidote still wins.
Cannot start a morning properly without it. My partner has switched too.
I will never go back to my grandfather's coffee. This is the stuff.
I buy it when I visit my sister and ship it home to Pennsylvania. Worth every cent of the postage.
Tried it on holiday in January. Have ordered by post twice since.
Hard to find good organic coffee. This is great coffee that happens to be organic.
And plenty of others say the same thing
Why Small Hours
Third-party certified beans. Nothing synthetic, ever.
Roasted in micro-lots and hand-tuned every morning.
Run by the same family since day one in Denver.
Farmers paid fairly for every harvest we buy.
Every bag breaks down. The roastery runs on wind.
Profiled to the degree for a repeatable cup.
Best sellers
01, Pure & organic
Coffee should have nothing to hide: organic beans and nothing else. No pesticides, no synthetic fertilisers, no shortcuts. Just clean caffeine in every cup.
02, Certified & traceable
Certified organic and verified, not just labelled. We trace every roasted bean back to the exact green lot it came from, so you always know where your cup began.
03, Precision roasters
We do not roast in bulk and hope. Every batch is dialled to the profile of that bean: its origin, its density, its development point. Then we write it down.
The story so far
Pre-2019
Mia and Theo run a small venue in Denver. Theo keeps the room running; Mia is on a quiet hunt for a coffee good enough to serve the regulars.
The venue years
2019
Nothing organic on the market hits her bar. She buys a manual drum roaster and stands behind it. Twenty thousand hours later, the profiles are dialled to the second.
20,000 hours
Late 2019
Theo's sister and her husband move back from Los Angeles. One paints, one builds installations for museums. They are working out what comes next.
Family reunion
March 2020
Everything locks down. Plans collapse. The four sit across a kitchen table and bet on the coffee.
The world stops
July 2020
Jordan designs the room and the murals. Sam draws the stamp. Mia and Theo write every drink on the menu. People come back, then bring friends.
Opening day
2023
Demand outgrows the original. The family opens a second room across town. Same beans, same precision, a new corner of the city.
Across town
2026
Seven years in. Two cafes. Ten roasts shipping nationwide. The roaster is still hand-tuned every morning and the family still argues about the playlist.
