Ethically Sourced, Expertly Roasted

Great coffee starts at the farm. We work with trusted partners to source specialty-grade Arabica beans from high-elevation regions across the world.

The Rutgers Roast features our favorite Colombian bean, grown on family-owned farms at 1300 meters above sea level. Located in Colombia's “coffee triangle”, these small producers pick, process, and dry their own coffee, utilizing co-operatively owned micro-wet mills and solar dryers.

The result is a smooth milk chocolate taste with a subtle fruity brightness. Coffees from Brazil and Honduras round out the blend, contributing gentle nuttiness and a natural sweetness.  Roasted in small batches to a medium-dark profile, this blend stays consistent and balanced from bag to brew.

In the cup, expect smooth milk chocolate, toasted nut, and a subtle citrus lift. Full-bodied yet easy to enjoy — perfect whether you’re powering through the morning, gearing up for the game, or just settling in with your favorite mug.

The Best Universities Deserve the Best Coffee.

We’re proud to bring our handcrafted, specialty-grade coffee to Rutgers University — roasted with purpose and packaged with pride. A portion of every sale goes back to the University to support student programs.

Brewing Positive Change

At RocketCup Coffee, our mission goes far beyond the roast. We’re dedicated to revitalizing our communities and giving back to the places that make great coffee possible, from the hills where our beans are grown to the Rutgers community in New Jersey. Every purchase helps power projects that support revitalization and lasting community impact.
