I dropped by for the first time the other week as I Google'd around for local coffee beans nearby. As an aspiring connoisseur of homemade espresso, it starts with fresh, quality coffee beans. Besides purchasing online, it's not always easy to find good beans, and especially harder if you're still inexperienced in knowing what you truly like out of your morning brew. Do you want something fruity? Mellow? More body? Notes of chocolate or nougat? This local roaster has it all!
The beans are roasted right here, and you can immediately smell the warm husks fill the air the moment you open your car door. Beans from various marked regions are imported from Panama, Uganda, Indonesia, Colombia, and many more. When you enter, there's a useful guide on the left that summarizes each of their characteristics, their elevations, and whether they're single-origin or a blend, but if you're unsure, the owner is an extremely pleasant gentleman who can provide some great recommendations. I purchased a bag of Uganda Bugisu that I'm still enjoying in single-shot servings through my Breville Barista Express Impress (#14 grind, ~12 grams, 200F at about a 3:1 ratio) and it makes for incredible shots, mochas, cappucinos and lattes! On one hand, I can't wait to try out the Java Estate blend, but at the same time I don't want to run through my bag so quickly :)!
Totally worth coming back to, and I'm so happy that it's just a hop and skip away from home. There's plenty of other interesting lighter-roasted flavors I want to explore in particular, especially when the entire process from import to packaging is fully transparent. The prices are totally fair; I paid $18 and $20 for my 1-pound bags and I received an excellent product thus far. Definitely check this place out for yourself, especially if you've been drinking the usual store-bought brands for a long time. Whether you're making machined espresso or using a French press, they've got something you've likely been missing out on and will certainly enjoy :)

A blessed day to stumble onto a local gem like this in FB. Gil was so helpful and answered all of my annoying questions about the roasting process and more. I purchased a 1# bag of "Cello" which had just been roasted. it was out of this world full bodied, creamy & smooth....a rare treat. Nothing better than local, fresh roasted coffee beans!

These guys are the best! Great tasting coffee! The absolute best to work with. They are very honest! I had a big order and they caught a mistake on the pricing and refunded the money without me even asking! I'm so glad I found these guys!

We found Nuanz while visiting family in Fernandina Beach and stopped by to see what they were all about. They let us try a cup of expresso and it was amazing!!! We then purchased a pound of ground Cello Expresso to take home with us. We loved it so much that we just ordered two more pounds and had it shipped. It arrived very fast! We will continue to order their coffee. It’s the best!!!

This place is the real deal, and Gil knows his stuff when it comes to coffee and roasting the beans. His shop smells heavenly. Do yourself a favor and order the freshest, best tasting coffee you've ever had. You can call ahead and pick up or order online to ship (whole bean or ground). You will never want to go back to that store-bought stuff again. Support local and enjoy great coffee.

Some of the finest coffee I’ve ever drank. Amazing coffee, great owners and phenomenal customer service. You owe it to yourself to swing by and grab a bag of coffee.

We found this coffee roastery and did not know what to expect when we first arrived. But wow, when we opened the front door, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans made our mouths water. We met Gil the owner and he was very helpful, providing us with our first two varieties of coffee (Ugandan, and Colombian). What a great experience! Thank you for having this great coffee available for visitors to the Island!

My husband and I stopped in to Nuanz this morning and were greeted warmly by Gil, the owner of Nuanz, and his wife. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans was exquisite. Gil, a gentleman with vast experience roasting beans (since the late 80s) took the time to show us his equipment and explain the coffee roasting process in detail. His vast knowledge of coffee, its chemical properties and the nuances of the roasting process was impressive. He gave us each a wonderful mug of coffee (roasted yesterday and brewed freshly just for us). We attempted to purchase a lb of his organic Colombian roast to bring home back in Boston. When we attempted to pay him, Gil insisted the first bag is on the house. This is true southern hospitality. Gil really made our morning with his kindness and generosity. Please support this local business. :-)
