Specialty Roast Coffee Company’s mission is to deliver fresher, better-tasting coffee and do ‘a world of good’ by sharing our profits with a non-profit you choose.
Our fresh coffee is, on average, three to four months fresher than Starbucks. You can taste the difference or our money back. Here is our guarantee.
We donate a tax deductible $2 per pound for every pound of fresh coffee you buy online (that's about 20% of our gross). Your annual home use could mean $48 to your non-profit based on two pounds per month. Office use can earn $200 to $300 for a cause. (See our list).
Fresh, Gourmet Coffee for Pennies More per Cup.
When you order, we roast. Our coffees with shipping cost about the same as Starbucks. Our exceptional single estate, and certified blends may cost a few pennies more per cup, depending upon shipping to your market. Aren't you worth it?
Thanks to the Internet, we can roast when you order, for fresher, better tasting coffee. Store-bought coffee is typically 3-4 months old. Our customers tell us they can taste the difference our freshness makes.
Who We Are
Warren Sly, founder and Chief Do-Gooder, helped introduce Perrier Water into this country in 1977, creating the first bottled water and today’s $16B US water industry. A friend from his Perrier days later became a Catholic priest and challenged him to sell coffee and give away the profits to feed the poor, "If you can get Americans to buy water, you should be able to get folks to buy your coffee."
Since then the company has added other causes when asked (now over 300 national and local causes and still climbing). Please join us, simply by buying our coffee.

Ben Franklin said it best, "Live well by doing good." The 'NY Times' calls our model 'purpose-driven'. We call it a win-win for all!
So if you buy coffee, why not be like Ben and buy ours? Your cause will appreciate your support. And you will like the better -tasting, fresher coffee and the $2 per pound tax deduction!
What We Stand For
Great gourmet coffee! Sharing. Giving back. Sustainability. Empowering others to do good everyday. Changing non-profit funding models from one day events to long-term relationships with their base supporters.
Personalize a Label, Creating Your Brand
You can create a custom label for your fresh-roasted coffee (examples). Some call this private label coffee, co brand coffee or co-branded coffee. Simply upload an image, logo or text. Whatever you call it, your recipient will appreciate the remarkable novelty of your label, the freshness of the coffee, and the non-profit contribution!
What the Lawyers Say We Need to Say
Our model represents a new way to raise sustaining funds for charities. Our use of their name and marks does not imply an endorsement of our products, services, company or management, nor does it imply or require a marketing relationship with the cause. Our donations are made quarterly to charities based upon contributions by their supporters. We track your purchase and report the donation amount quarterly. We maintain an arms-length relationship with the causes so your donation is tax-deductible.
