Wow. Velton's has changed my coffee life. I recently discovered Grain Artisan Bakery in Snohomish (highly recommend), & since it was afternoon, I got a decaf latte to go with my rhubarb custard tart. With decaf, I've come to expect that I will need the sweet treat to enhance the drink, but this coffee was absolutely as good as the amazing pastry, which is super, super rare!! It was Velton's Three Ravens Blend, the best decaf - by far - that I have had in more than a decade of searching. Three Ravens is completely delicious standing alone - which is what I've been searching for - and it harmonizes beautifully for the half-caf I like to drink in the mornings. I first emailed the business about which of their caffeinated offerings they would recommend for this, and Velton Ross got back to me right away with the friendliest, kindest reply and several very thoughtful suggestions. So far I've enjoyed the Bonsai Blend - an excellent and delicious accompaniment, just a slightly warmer, brighter profile when full-caf than is my preference - and I am going to order the Twilight Blend next. Although you cannot buy in person from their roastery, you can easily order from their site. They have lovely detailed descriptions of everything they offer, and shipping is very quick and very reasonable. They roast on Mondays and ship on Tuesdays, and I have always received my order (in Shoreline) by Friday, or Saturday at latest. There are also quite a few retail locations from Everett to the eastside - and even one each in Vegas and Montana! - where you can buy their beans and/or drink their coffee. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to list these on their site with detailed information about each establishment. So helpful for learning about local businesses I might have otherwise never come across. Online, you can purchase both whole bean and pre-ground for espresso and drip coffee. The drip coffee grind was a little too fine for my coffee cone method. So I experimented with whole beans and found that, for me, the flavor is perfect when I grind them one setting coarser than I used to use for other coffees. The best part of all of this, is that this is the first decaf I've ever been able to drink without a feeling of compromise, extra doctoring, or gaslighting myself into believing that it's good. Zero disappointment!! I can make a straight decaf cup any time of day and know that I'm going to love every sip. Thank you, Velton's!! read more

Velton's is by far my favorite roasted bean. And Velton is a really nice guy. I have been, around quality coffee for 50 years, and nothing compares to Velton's. read more

I've been re-ordering the bonsai medium roast for a while, the extractions are consistent and tasty. I typically drink 8oz lattes, flat whites, or cortados. I've tried many high quality beans and always keep coming back to Velton's. Highly recommend for espresso, worth every penny. Note: make sure you wait at least a week or so if the beans have been roasted recently read more

Note: This is not a coffee shop or a physical retail store so do not go to the address listed on Yelp looking for coffee. Go to veltonscoffee.com if you're looking to order or find where you can purchase locally. Velton's coffee is as fresh and high-quality as you can get. If you purchase on his website, he ships right after it's roasted, so it's extremely fresh even if it has to go across the country. If you're local to Seattle/Everett, you can also find it locally. I have purchased Velton's from the Sno-Isle Coop in Everett. Having met Velton, I can say that this is an extremely kind man who is extremely passionate about what he does. He roasts each batch himself and does each batch manually to make sure each batch comes out great (especially since roasting coffee comes with many different variables). Velton's is some of the best coffee around by someone who is so passionate about what he does. He also has a good variety, so people of different tastes can find what they're looking for from Velton. read more

I have been a fan of Velton's for several years now. I enjoy the variety of blends available as well as the fresh single origin's they are constantly offering. Always good, on-time delivery, and fresh! By the way, they offer great prices for bulk/businesses... so our church serves Velton's twilight blend. The coffee is great and it feels good to support a local artisan. read more

Veltons Ross is roasting the best espresso beans in the US right now. I try every highly recommended coffee shop I can in my travels. And I order from new roasters whenever a trusted suggestion comes through. But nothing beats his Bonsai Blend. No silly citrus flavors. Some inherent sweetness which I really like. Great body. Great crema. I can't say enough good things about his espresso. read more

My 2 cents on Velton's Coffee Folks from the heart, It seems very strange to even me that I have never once said anything about this coffee before now . I think that one the best things someone can do is let other people know when something is good, so they may also enjoy their services, or in this case their product! Folks as a simple business person and with no other reason to take the time to say so, I would like to boast that Velton's coffee is and has been as consistently as good as I ever could of hoped for since the first bag I ever bought! It quickly became the preferred brand for office but strangely enough infiltrated into our home as well and never once have not ever regretted either one of those facts. The flavor is incredible and this fact is mentioned by many of our office visitors as well! Trust me I have been out and tried other brands and trends for numerous reasons but many other choices seem chafe or kinda barky to me but never once have I felt short in any way when I'm back in the office. So once again and from the heart again , I have to tell you that if you want what I would call smooth, full bodied and robust ( and yes I realize I'm way out of my league on how to describe coffee ) then get your hands on a bag of this stuff ! There I did it ! I finally wrote something kind about something I've loved for a long time, Velton's Coffee . Terry Maloney, Owner of Accurate Heating & Electrical, LLC. read more

Velton has passion for roasting the best beans in the area. He is extremely warm and knows his stuff. I met him because he offered to donate 5 pounds of coffee for the Everett Gospel Mission "Walk For Hope" fundaraiser. Stop drinking the mud called Starbuck's and support a local business. :) read more

Where is your company ran store? I was visiting Seattle and have enjoyed your coffee at competitions and friends shops. I went to Narrative coffee and was sadly disappointed in their drink preparation. A V60 with an Acacia scale had me believing it would be great!!! Nope. But I know your coffee is really good. read more

The Icebox Grocery introduced me to Velton's Coffee and Ive been drinking their drip ever since. Velton's Coffee is one of my favorites!

Have ordered his coffee via mail since it isn't available locally. The BEST!! Worth the postage. Velton knows coffee and has a passion for it. read more

I am so impressed with this coffee and customer service. You send an email and the owner emails you back. How great is that! The coffee is superb. I first was introduced to it by purchasing a super automatic espresso machine from SCG. However I have known about Veltons for awhile. For those who love dark beans, try Twilight blend. You cannot go wrong with anyone of their coffees. read more

In love with the Twilight dark roast. I grind on setting 30 on my Baratza and french press it. Amazing !

I get Velton's Bonsai Blend through Seattle Coffee Gear and love it! It is my bean of choice. It is light roasted with no Starbuck's bitter bean after taste. It makes a delicious cup of coffee, americano, or latte every time. read more

Longtime fan of Velton's Bonsai Blend and single origin espresso blends. Though he has local distribution in some of the region's finer coffee shops, I've always enjoyed emailing him directly and stopping by his roastery to pick up a few bags. Velton's passion for espresso is obvious, and he also might be the nicest guy in the world - totally friendly, unassuming, and willing to chat about espresso technique. read more

Velton has serious passion for coffee. Wish we could find his coffee at more places.

We have been ordering Velton's Bonsai Blend coffee beans for a few years now. It's incredibly smooth, with a non-acidic almost caramel finish. To say it is probably the best coffee we have ever had is pretty accurate. Aside from outstanding coffee, Velton offers small town, caring customer service, and that's awfully hard to find anymore. I mentioned when we placed our most recent order that I hoped we hadn't missed the shipping cut off for the week, and he emailed a personal response. Bloody AWESOME!!! read more
