About Pretentious Coffee Co.

Who are we? Probably too good for you ;) We founded Pretentious Coffee not because the world needed another coffee company—but because it needed one brave enough to admit what everyone else is pretending not to be: completely, unapologetically, absurdly pretentious. We roast high-quality, specialty-grade coffee, but we do it without the gatekeeping, the flavor note dissertations, or the ego inflation that usually comes free with a flat white. Instead, we deliver world-class coffee with world-class satire—because great taste shouldn’t require a PhD in pour-over. Our coffee comes in tall-boy recyclable cans normally reserved for beverages, because bags are boring, annoying, wasteful… and we like confusing people. Also, those bags are lined with plastic—yuk. Each can holds 1/2 lb. of roasted beans (whole or ground), perfectly portioned and aggressively stylish. Choose from varieties like Hints of Hubris, Artisanal Nihilism, Single Origin Arrogance, and Decaf, Really?—each roasted to perfection and packaged with a wink. Our 4-pack lets you mix and match when you can’t be bothered to decide on just one roast. We believe in better beans, better jokes, and better packaging. We care deeply about sourcing, sustainability, and the craft of roasting—but we care equally about making fun of how seriously people take it. Pretentious Coffee is for people who know good coffee… but are also in on the joke. Drink it. Post about it. Judge others quietly.Read their story
