Why Local Coffee Hits Different in the Cold Months

Cooper Steele

There’s something about cold weather that makes coffee taste better. Maybe it’s the frozen windshield in the morning. Or the 4:30 sunsets. Or the fact that everyone in upstate New York is basically in survival mode until April.

But here’s the truth: winter is when local coffee matters most.

When you buy from a small business, you’re not just grabbing a bag of beans — you’re supporting a kid in your community who’s building something real. You’re keeping money in Niskayuna. You’re choosing quality over big-box predictability. And honestly… you’re drinking better coffee while doing it.

Every bag we sell during these colder months helps us grow, keeps us at farmers markets, and lets us keep making blends you actually love. Whether you go for a strong dark roast, a smooth breakfast blend, or you’re waiting for our seasonal releases like Snow Day Delight — it all adds up.

So thanks for being part of this with us. Stay warm, stay caffeinated, and keep supporting local. Upstate winters are tough… but good coffee makes them a lot easier.
