Coffee

Our 900-pound German coffee roaster (a blue Probat named Lola) lives in the middle of Trident's back room, surrounded by burlap bags of green coffee beans. Here you can bag fresh-roasted beans from around the world, and when Lola is not roasting, enjoy a quiet and casual seating area. The beans used at our espresso bar are all roasted on-site in small batches, once or twice a week, to ensure optimal freshness and allow us to constantly (some would say fanatically) tweak the flavour and aroma of the coffee. Though we are not a wholesale roaster, you can buy beans for your home directly from us.

Freshly Roasted Coffees at the Trident-

The following coffees roasted fresh in small batches twice a week, usually Monday and Thursday. Sorry, we don't sell our beans through the mail.

All the coffee is $12.95/lb except for the SWP De-Caf, which is $15.50/lb.

Trident Blend

Our House Blend is made from three coffees from three continents. It changes as the coffees come and go and as the seasons change. We try to keep it full, round and smooth.

French Roast

Slightly darker with more roaster taste, full bodied, mellow roast.

Italian Roast

Our darkest coffee, roasted slowly and long, smoky, rich, but not bitter.

Espresso Blend

Due to its popularity with whole bean buyers, we now offer the blend we use in our espresso machine.

Sumatran Gayoland

An earthy, rich Indonesian.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

This coffee, with its distinctive African taste-of-origin, tangerine/flowery, is from the province of Yirgacheffe, overlooking Yemen, and is grown at high altitude.

Full City Decaf

We sell SWP (Swiss Water Process) decaf coffee, roasted medium dark. This is a Decaf that actually tastes like coffee!
