Elevating the Everyday Ritual with Precision Roasted Specialty Coffee
Founded with an uncompromising obsession for exceptional cup clarity, Cargos Coffee sources rare single-origin microlots and crafts balanced espresso roasts designed for discerning coffee lovers across Canada and beyond.
Every bean we roast undergoes a rigorous cupping and profiles-calibration process. By partnering directly with sustainable agronomy farms in Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, and Sumatra, we ensure full traceability, fair compensation for producers, and pristine harvest freshness in every bag.

The Cargos Coffee Standards
We reject mass-produced commercial coffee. Discover our interactive quality benchmarks that govern every bean selection and roasting curve.
Altitude, Volcanic Soils & Selective Picking
We seek coffee cherries cultivated at altitudes between 1,400 and 2,200 meters above sea level. Slower maturation produces denser beans with complex organic acids, distinct berry brightness, and deep chocolate foundations.
- Only 100% Arabica varietals (Geisha, Bourbon, Typica, Caturra).
- Rigorous manual red-cherry sorting prior to wet/dry processing.
- Certified cup scores strictly above 85 SCA cupping standards.
