KNIFE Coffee | Kokose - Ethiopia

KNIFE Coffee — Cut Through the Ordinary.

Meet KNIFE Coffee, our first signature coffees — crafted in collaboration with our good friends at Apollon's Gold in Tokyo, Japan. We’ve teamed up to bring you small-batch coffee that’s as intentional and precise as the knives we stand behind.

Each lot is sourced from dedicated farmers and producers, then roasted by Apollon's Gold to highlight clean sweetness, layered clarity, and a finish that lingers — never bitter, always honest.

It’s coffee for early mornings in the kitchen, slow afternoons at home, or that quiet moment before service starts. Nothing too fancy — just good beans, good roasting, and good people behind it.

Sharp, balanced, and true — just like a good knife.

KNIFE Coffee. Sharp, balanced, and true — just like a good knife.

Elto Kokose

Kokose is back! This is our 2nd purchase of the Kokose regional lot directed by our friend Eliyas/Elto coffee. Unlike last year's lot, we feel that this coffee represents the typical flavors of 74158 cultivar that is popular in the Bensa region.

Expect perfumed flavors of peach, guava and honeydew with hints of violet florals.

Apollon's Gold has crafted a fantastic brew guide utilizing their unique and intricate 1:18-19 ratios. A method we follow closely here at our KNIFE slow bar. Check it out - here.
