Brash Coffee Roasters: Dallas's Producer-Focused Medium-Roast Specialist
Brash Coffee Roasters is a Dallas, Texas specialty roaster built around a simple conviction: every bag should tell you exactly who grew the coffee inside it. Their catalog of seven single-origin offerings carries producer names front and center — Miguel Menendez, Diego Robelo, Henry Gaibor, Sebastian Ramirez, Andres Martinez — making sourcing relationships visible and personal. There are no blends in their current CoffeeByMe lineup, just clearly attributed lots from El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico.
Roasting gravitates toward medium (level 3), delivering accessible, flavor-clear cups without veering into roast-forward territory. Diego Robelo's Centroamericano from Costa Rica's Aquiares estate exemplifies this balance: raspberry, black cherry, and toffee with moderate acidity and medium body. Sebastian Ramirez's naturally processed Pink Bourbon from Colombia adds a contrasting richness — chocolate, red berry, and citrus developed through carbonic maceration — that shows Brash's willingness to work with expressive processing methods when the producer and lot call for it.
For drinkers who want something more classic, Miguel Menendez's Red Bourbon from El Salvador stays grounded with sugar cane, molasses, and milk chocolate, while Dos Niñas San Isidro from Guatemala offers almond, caramel, and cacao nibs on volcanic soils. CoffeeByMe's AI recommendation tool can match you to the Brash producer lot that fits your brewing setup and flavor preferences best.

Roast Profile & Flavor Range
Brash operates entirely at medium roast (level 3), a consistent house style that prioritizes origin expression over roast character. Flavor themes span a pleasant range — fruit-forward Costa Rica and Colombia lots on one end, chocolate-and-sugar El Salvador and Mexico on the other — with moderate acidity and body throughout. Smaller 8oz lots for the Colombian and Ecuadorian offerings range $22–$25, while the 12oz lots hold at $21. The Decaf Muxabl at $21/12oz makes high-quality decaf accessible.
Why Buy Brash Coffee Roasters
Every coffee carries the producer's name, making Brash one of the most traceable specialty roasters in the South — a meaningful choice for ethically minded buyers.
Diego Robelo's Centroamericano from Costa Rica's historic Aquiares estate brings vibrant raspberry and black cherry notes rarely found at the $21/12oz price point.
Henry Gaibor's washed Typica from Ecuador is a distinctive origin choice — Ecuadorian specialty is still emerging, and Brash's clean, citrus-forward rendition is a strong introduction.
Sebastian Ramirez's carbonic maceration Pink Bourbon shows Brash's range: a naturally processed Colombian with red berry and citrus complexity for coffee drinkers who want to explore beyond washed lots.
