Coffee Plus 254 is a nod to Kenya’s country code, +254. 

We are focused on showcasing coffee from farmers in Kenya so much that we worked this into our brand name.

We want to showcase Kenyan coffee from smallholder farmers, and support youth employment in Kenya’s coffee value chain.

Smallholder farmers produce ~70% of Kenya’s coffee on farms as small as a tennis court. Yet, their coffees continue to put Kenya high on the list of high-quality, delicious coffee.

Why youth involvement? Kenya’s coffee farmers are aging out of the industry. The average age of a farmer is well above 40. We want to support young individuals keen on joining the coffee industry, from nurturing coffee seedlings, to baristas, to running their own brands.

To make steps towards our vision, we source from small farms and invest in youth programs like scholarships in barista schools, training on coffee farming. We’re working on furthering our reach and impact.

Peaberry coffee is a natural coffee bean mutation where only one seed develops inside the coffee cherry instead of two. This gives the bean a small, round shape unlike the flat, paired halves of regular coffee beans. It's rare as only 5-10% of harvested coffee are peaberries.

Our coffee can be ordered online for shipping anywhere in the Continental United States. 

Pickup is available where we roast our coffee in Waltham, Massachusetts.

In general, we roast our coffee from light to medium and recommend pourover, cold brew, Aeropress and other drip methods. See our blog for some brewing guides.
