In July 2022, Metropolis founders Jeff and Tony went to Medellin, Colombia in order to participate in the Producer and Roaster Forum. The Correa family hosted Tony and Jeff, along with 25 roasters from around the world on their multi-generational family farms near Caicedonia, Cafe Granja La Esperanza. The Correa family specialize in the super good stuff - ultra-specialty varietals like Geisha, grown at incredibly high altitude, processed methodically and even sometimes experimentally.
Sipping extremely good coffee on the top of a lush mountain, surrounded by fun colleagues while eating delicious Colombian food, it’s easy to get ... um ... carried away, so Tony and Jeff decided not to make any decisions on the spot, opting instead to deliver the samples back to Chicago to consider in a slightly less inspirational location.
After several rounds, the tasting team landed on this gem that we’re calling Colombia Cascadas Esperanza - a nod to the lot and to the farm. It’s a pretty special brew and we bet you'll love it as much as we do.
We aim to create an approachable environment where everyone has a seat at the table and the bean benefits all.
With every brew, we pour our passion and expertise into designing a cup of coffee with your pleasure and tastes in mind.
All our coffee is purchased at or above fair trade price from transparent and sustainable brokers and farmers.
As coffee nerds, we have a quirky outlook sourced from the early days of science fiction, fantasy, and lore.

Of course it's fantastic! It's Metropolis! This blend is very smooth with no bitterness. I rarely drink my coffee black but this one may be the exception.
Nice roast, and when griding, it's a clean grind so no cleaning the Capresso bean grinder after.
Nice coffee, we’ll roasted. Mild flavors.
This is my go-to purchase for enjoyable home use.
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
