My wife bought me some Cuvée "West Pole" dark roast. I brew it with a pour over and it is very tasty. :-)

Cuvee Coffee is consistently outstanding. Kudos to Mike and Team. Since 2017 I've tried and enjoyed pretty much all of the different kinds of coffee that Cuvee Coffee offers (speaks for itself :-). Some favorites include Karmadillo, Stella Cometa, West Pole, Moka Java, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Brazil, Ethiopia, Indonesia... (and the list goes on, again speaks for itself :-). ENJOY! P.S. the Limited Editions are always worth trying!!

BEYOND DELICIOUS coffee and even better customer service! I am a BIG fan and have subscribed to 5 lb. bag delivery of the Brazil blend that I cannot live without. One month my bag arrived with a tear and the company replaced it without blinking an eye. I will be a life long customer of this great Austin brand!

The location in Spicewood is the warehouse. They do not serve coffee! :)

Love their new Cold Brew Nitro!

I run a coffee shop in Lake Jackson TX, and we have used Cuvee since day 1 which was almost 7 years ago. I can not brag enough about what a wonderful company this is. Their customer service is always on point and friendly, and any time we have had a problem they always thrive to make sure we are okay as we figure out what happened. We look forward to our ongoing relationship with them as we grow!

The staff are the nicest people and whats not to love about coffee in the morning and a good beer at night?

We finally found this hidden gem in our "own back yard" and have bought coffee twice, trying four different types. We love the coffee. The receptionist (Heather?, Hannah?) has always been super sweet and helpful. They periodically give tours, and we hope to join one of those in the near future.

Phenomenal. I drink Cuvée three times a day. All French Press. It's so good, I've converted many of my friends and family to drinking black coffee. I order Cuvée online once a month and give 3/4 lbs bags as gifts often.

From a devoted drinker who has tried numerous local, state and national roasters' best blends and single origins: Cuvee is outstanding coffee. Chris S.'s review is right on the mark in several regards. Cuvee may well be among the very top coffees I have ever tasted, with the exception of Stumptown. And just as Chris S. pointed out, try a Starbucks drink. And then try a coffeehouse that serves Cuvee. My girlfriend did. She used to think that coffee was an acquired taste until I introduced her to amazing coffees like Brown, Cuvee, and Stumptown. Now, she just cannot get herself to drink a Starbucks latte. Coffee is dynamic. There is much that goes into making your cup of coffee good. A lot of it is in your hands, such as selecting the best bean for the brewing method you have, brewing with proper technique, and using good quality water. That which is not in your hands is the quality of bean and roasting technique. Cuvee is constantly trying new beans, tweaking their roasting techniques, and maximizing the goodness of the bean and farmer-roaster alliance. I finally made the pilgrimmage to Cuvee on a recent relaxing day. I talked with Hannah, the receptionist, and scheduled a visit on a Friday. Typically, tours are given several times a week, leaving Fridays for staff-meetings. I got lucky because Cuvee is soon changing their tours to once a month with periodic cuppings, or coffee tastings. I had the pleasure of talking with one of Cuvee's two coffee roasters, Logan. For almost an hour, he talked me through the life of the beans: how they are received, roasted, and bagged. He answered every question that I had, even the stupid ones, with courtesy and genuine passion. After discussing the throughput process with Logan, I was taken to Lorenzo, master barista. He talked me through the complex process of brewing and all the factors involved. I was lucky enough to have a comparison cupping in addition to Lorenzo's thoughtful short class. Mike McKim and his professional staff are passionate, focused, courteous, and welcoming. I cannot disagree more with the single one-star review that I noticed by Juan P. The staff at Cuvee were not at all snobby and Cuvee coffee is superior to Katz Coffee. Try the Meritage blend. It's my favorite, next to Stumptown's Hair Bender. If you have a Chemex, try the amazing Laguna Las Ranas.
I drink a damn lot of coffee. I grind away at massive Excel spreadsheets in an 8x8 cubicle until my eyes bleed. I have two kids that frequently interrupt my sleep, and I stay up too late surfing the web and playing video games. I yawn frequently. Coffee is very important to me. Based on financial audits performed by my concerned wife on my coffee drinking habit, I spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $150-$200 a month on coffee. That equates to approximately $2,000 per year, which is about the per capita GDP of Bangladesh. Now that I have established some minimum credibility in the area of coffee-consumption, allow me to state some opinions. Cuvee Coffee is not only clearly the best coffee roaster in the Austin area. Cuvee coffee is one of greatest craft coffee roasters in Texas, the United States, or, perhaps, the world. The espresso pulled from Cuvee beans is orders of magnitude better than just about anything else out there. Basically, the coffee shops that serve Cuvee have bad a** drinks while the competition begins to taste undrinkable in comparison. If you have any doubt, go to Starbucks and order a simple espresso-first drink like a double macchiato. Then, go to a Cuvee-based shop (like Caffe Medici, Patika, Caffe Yolly, or Houndstooth) and order the same thing. Cuvee has a great thing brewing in our backyard, and I enthusiastically throw my meaningless five stars to them for enriching and elevating the beverage that is so important to me.

One of the most respected specialty roasters in America is hidden behind a gate marked with a “C”. If you find it, you can join them for a “cupping” and get a tour from the guys roasting the beans.

Cuvee Coffee has found its niche in the Texas Hill Country. And by niche, I mean they have found themselves deep in the craft coffee market. Though they don't possess much in the way of a storefront, with a coffee shop vibe, in which to enjoy their caffeinated pods, they seem to be doing fine wherever their products are found. They offer a hodgepodge of fun stuff, such as tours, classes, and a nice large facility at which to possibly purchase. They are roasting all sorts of beans, and as you can expect, they are doing it in a sustainable manner... they are in proximity to Austin, after all. Their offerings are spread far and wide, across Texas, mainly in the big cities, but their interactive map is fun, as it shows you that even some podunk towns and states (any state not named Texas) also carry Cuvee's award winning roasted coffee beans, only found inside the can't-miss bright blue bag. Wherever you are in Austin, it is quite possible that you will be drinking Cuvee Coffee. If it tastes good, you can pretty much assume it is gonna be Cuvee. Caffeine junkies will have no problem enjoying this junk.
