In their words

The story

Outpost Coffee is on a quest to elevate the Hawaiian Coffee experience. The journey commences with the coffee plant itself, honoring each step of the value chain up to customer connection. We cultivate, harvest, ferment, roast, brew and serve coffee from our home on Kaua’i and aligned producers of small lot coffees. By meticulously roasting each batch, we showcase the unique terroir and regional respect infused along the way. The result is modern coffee made manifest, one batch at a time.
