KNIFE Coffee | Chelchele - 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.

Chelchele

Chelchele is a renowned washing station located in Yirgacheffe woreda, Ethiopia. Chelchele coffee, especially their natural process lot is known for its fruitiness and clean flavors. Our lot is also a plethora of ripe fruit flavors with tons of sweetness.

In the cup, you will be greeted by rambutan acidity, followed by mango sweetness, that will lead the way to an exciting finish of blueberry bubble gum.

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.
