the signals
four things that separate
a roaster from a brand.
transparency
direct trade, farm-level sourcing, and full traceability from seed to cup. the best roasters tell you exactly where your beans come from.
freshness
roast dates on every bag, small-batch production, and beans that reach you within days. not months. of roasting.
range
single origins, seasonal rotations, experimental processes. great roasters constantly evolve their offering based on what's in harvest.
community
cuppings, brewing workshops, wholesale education. the roasters that invest in their community tend to produce the best coffee.
questions, answered
everything you wanted to ask
about specialty roasting.
what is a specialty coffee roaster?
a specialty coffee roaster sources high-quality green beans. typically scoring 80+ on the sca scale. and roasts them in small batches to highlight origin-specific flavour profiles. they prioritise direct trade relationships, seasonal offerings, and transparent sourcing over volume.
how does not another sunday rank roasters?
every roaster is scored using our natural ranking index (nri), a 0-100 composite. review quality (35) and volume (25) carry the most weight, alongside social and buzz momentum (10), profile depth (10), web presence (8), photo coverage (7), and a specialty-plus-local-credibility signal (5). no pay-to-rank. the score is entirely merit-based.
what's the difference between specialty and commercial roasters?
commercial roasters buy commodity-grade beans in bulk and roast for consistency at scale. specialty roasters work with traceable, high-grade lots, roast in smaller batches, and treat each origin differently. the result is coffee with distinct tasting notes rather than a generic blend.
