Java Works

Verified by N49

I bought the "mountain gems" organic dark espresso roast a few weeks ago. It smelled fantastic in the store. Also it's organic, fair trade, etc. which made me feel good about buying the product.

However, upon taking it home and trying to make it in my french press, I the taste to be very weak. I like strong tasting coffee which is why I bought the dark roast, but no matter how much I reduce the water proportions for each brew, it still tastes very weak—basically like hot water. I still get a bit of a caffeine kick, but the taste is very disappointing. Now I have to combine it with other coffee because I feel bad about wasting it, but I wish I hadn't bought it at all.

I love that Java Works is local with ethical sourcing and their online system makes it easy to get your hands on the coffee. Their selection is huge so trying a new blend is always exciting. My favourite so far is the Kenya AA which has a really unique but addictive taste.

Partnering with Java Works has been the best F&B decision I've made for my business. They’re coffee is top quality and the proof is in the customers who grab a cup from my café every morning. Great doing business with your team and we hope to continue well into the future.

After changing our coffee menu to include Java Works coffees and specialty teas we had a slow but unmistakable pick up in orders over the course of the last two months. Your selection is great and I’m happy to have your products on my menu.

Your website is awesome. I purchased a few flavoured coffees and it was not a disappointment. Great taste and a perfect cup each morning. Free shipping was plus as well. Thanks Java Works -- you're just the kind of company a thoughtful shopper likes to support

The selections of organic coffee from Java Works are my favourite. I feel like they have a flavour to satisfy everyone which is why my family and I love their coffee and will continue to buy and support fair trade and organic products.

As strong supporters of fair trade coffee, my husband and I decided to try out the Sumatra Fair Trade Organic and it was exceptionally good. Ordering online was hassle free and their website was easy to navigate. Next on our list to try out is the Pacific Spirit--we know it's great because our local shop stocks it. We look forward to new flavours!

We own two cafés in Toronto and have been purchasing bulk from Java Works for four years. My customers love the coffee I brew and I wanted to finally say thank you. The beans are fresh, flavorful and have a rich taste and smell without ever being bitter.

I distribute this coffee through a few corporate offices downtown and regularly get feedback on our F&B offerings. Hands down this is a popular coffee. I've heard nothing but good things from the various staff. Happy to pass on a good word.

Our specialty food shop tries to source to local companies with best practices and unique taste. We've had Java Works blends available for a couple of years and slowly the customer base has built to the point where it's a top two coffee offering. We've never had distribution issues and the relationship has been consistently cordial. Looking forward to more years working together.

We get most of your fair trade blends for our shop and they always sell well. The mark-up is reasonable and the taste is excellent. We are looking to expand into teas and possibly some of your gear in the new year. A sincere thanks for the good quality thus far.

There are a few things that have made our relationship with Java Works carry on as well as it has. They are, I think, exactly the "not too big, not too small" outfit you want with a local distribution network. Big enough to always have stock and no hiccups in supply but still small enough that you can call and talk to the boss if you ever need to. They have been exceptionally helpful and accessible throughout the relationship.

Of course none of this matters if the coffee is no good but there's never been a problem on that count. All we've ever heard is compliments from our network. Keep up the excellent work.

A quick note on the Spicey Pumpkin coffee I got over the holidays: perfect!

I work in an office and my company brews JavaWorks coffee daily. I'll admit I'm a three cup a day drinker and hands down their taste is as good as any I can find in outside coffee shops. Very balanced and aromatic. I recently picked up a couple of the gift cards online to share the coffee over Christmas. Keep it coming!

Had a great cup of coffee at a café in town and the only thing that was a bit of a drag was the line-up. Proof you're popular! They had the Pacific dark roast available -- four out of five stars. I found your website later and was impressed with the presentation. I'll keep an eye out for your coffee from now on.

We've been serving Java Works coffee at our sandwich shops almost as long as they've been in business. It's a really classy offering with different blends on a margin restaurants can afford. I enjoy it myself twice a day and consistently get the best feedback on it. Definitely one of our preferred suppliers.

My wife and I tried a Colombian of yours this past weekend and wound up on your site that evening. We fancy ourselves experts on coffee and just wanted to say how excited we are to find a new half dozen blends to try! If the first cup is anything to go by this should be a worthwhile purchase. The accessories, teas, and other items available online are really well thought out.
