About Javaya

Hi, welcome to Javaya! We are a couple of Chicago guys who dig local craft coffee. We met in school (Go Irish!) and stumbled upon a mutual love for discovering and brewing fresh, locally roasted coffees in the comfort of our homes.

While Chicago has some of the best local coffee roasters in the world, enjoying all our faves either meant driving around to every coffee shop in town or settling for less-than-fresh beans bought online. No bueno. There had to be a better way…

Enter: Javaya.

With Javaya, we bring all your favorite craft roasters from around the country to your fingertips—without losing anything you love about them. Our site lets you explore a huge range of high-quality, locally roasted coffee. And the best part? It’s stupid fresh. (Seriously, it’s insane.)

Freshness, assortment, choice, quality. It’s what we value most about the local craft coffee scene, and it’s what Javaya is all about. We think you’ll love it. Cheers!

 

FAQ

What is Javaya?

Javaya (getjavaya.com) is an online marketplace where you can buy the best local craft coffee from the best roasters in the US and have it shipped directly to your doorstep at peak freshness. Javaya selects roasters based on a rigorous review process, which ensures that you’re getting only the highest quality coffee from the coolest people around.

Who Makes The Coffee?

Javaya is not a coffee roaster. We simply search for the best local craft coffee roasters from around the country and make their product available to you, wherever you are, at peak freshness. All of our roasters have passed our rigorous review process, ensuring you’re only getting the highest quality coffee from the best artisans.

Where Does The Coffee Come From?

Before coffee beans are roasted, they’re called green beans. These green beans are grown on farms around the world, mostly in the “coffee belt,” which straddles the equator and typically boasts a high altitude. Coffee growing is becoming a global trade, but right now, a lot of the world’s coffee is grown in Africa, South America, and certain islands in the Caribbean — each region having its own unique flavors.

Every roaster in the US sources their green beans slightly differently. However, they all have one thing in common: Quality. Craft roasters are obsessive about their green beans and if the quality of the bean or roast isn’t up to their strict standards, they will trash the entire batch and lose hundreds or thousands of dollars in inventory, just to ensure they don’t earn a reputation for making bad coffee. That’s just one of the reasons we love craft coffee, and our roasters.

How Does My Coffee Get To Me?

Your coffee will be roasted, packaged and shipped to you, direct from the roaster themselves. This all happens on the same day, often within mere hours. No middleman or warehouses involved. Just crazy-fresh coffee arriving on your doorstep mere days after roasting (depending on the shipping method you select) — because #freshnessmatters.

How Do I Pronounce Javaya?

We say juh-VI-uh, like “Mariah,” but we love hearing all the alternative pronunciations. Just as long as you can say “craft coffee, fresher than fresh,” then you know what we’re about!

Why Does Freshness Matter?

Without getting too nerdy, excellent craft coffee is best enjoyed within a few weeks of roasting. After a few months, craft coffee is still good for a lot of things — but making a cup of coffee just isn’t one of them.

What Do You Mean “Fresher Than Fresh”?

This varies from coffee-to-coffee, but in general, the pros recommend that you wait to enjoy a light roast coffee until 3 days after roasting (for espresso roasts, they recommend waiting a full 7 days). With Javaya’s direct shipping model, there’s good chance you’re going to receive coffee that is fresher than fresh—that is, you need to wait to enjoy it. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause 😉

How Does Javaya Work?

We partner exclusively with the highest-quality craft roasters around the country to offer you the freshest coffee possible. When you buy a bag of coffee from us, you aren’t buying something that’s been collecting dust on a shelf in a warehouse somewhere. You’re actually buying a future-bag of coffee — small-batch craft coffee that will be roasted, packaged and shipped to you direct from the roaster just for you. It’s the only way coffee should be bought online.

What is a Future Fresh® Date?

Your Future Fresh® Date is the day in the future when your purchased craft coffee will be roasted, packaged and shipped to you, direct from the roaster.

Because craft coffee is small-batch roasted, it typically doesn’t get roasted every day. We don’t guarantee delivery dates, but most coffee roasters fulfill Javaya orders a couple of times per week (and no less than once per week).

How Much Does It Cost?

Coffees start at about $1 per ounce, or $12 for a 12oz. bag. We have negotiated the best shipping prices in the country, so you’ll always receive the best price available online. Want to save even more? Subscribe to a recurring coffee delivery and save 5% off the retail price

Am I Locked In?

No. Never. Ever.

We believe in earning your loyalty by consistently delivering high-quality, fresh coffee. We want you to have the power to choose what coffee you buy, and for that reason, the purchase decision is always up to you.
