Highwire Tightrope House Blend Coffee Beans, 12 oz

Price: $19.50

The house blend, and the one the company is named around. Highwire roast it in Oakland, where Robert Myers and Rich Avella have built cafes across the East Bay on what they call approachable excellence.

No origin or notes on the bag. A house blend is a standing recipe rather than a lot, which is the point: it is the coffee that is meant to be there every time you go back.

12 oz, whole bean.

The Brand

Highwire Coffee Roasters

Robert Myers and Rich Avella met in the mid-1990s and now roast in Oakland, with cafes in Alameda, Albany, Walnut Creek and Emeryville.

They call what they are after approachable excellence, and they roast across a spectrum rather than to one house profile: bright single origins at one end, deeper chocolatey body-forward coffees at the other, on the theory that people want different things from a cup and all of them are allowed.

Pantry FAQs

Pantry items are fulfilled by our partner retailer in California, so they ship on their own and will not arrive in the same box as your wine. Order both and you should expect two parcels, often on different days.

You will receive tracking for the pantry parcel within 3-4 business days.

Wine requires an adult signature on delivery. Pantry items do not, so they can be left at your door like any ordinary parcel.

Yes. Nothing here is tied to a wine purchase. Shipping for pantry items is calculated separately at checkout.

Most of what we carry is shelf stable until it is opened, and would rather sit in a cool dark cupboard than on a sunny counter. Anything that needs refrigerating once opened says so on the label.

Email us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will make it right.

These are things we actually cook with, picked by the same people who pick the wine. A good bottle tends to want something on the table next to it, and this is the shortlist we would hand a friend who asked.
