Introducing No Apologies Coffee! A small-batch, single origin or select blend, locally-roasted coffee made by our long-time friend & farm family member Mark Degan from Davidson, NC. Coffee comes in 10oz bags, and selections will change frequently based on what’s currently roasting, so check back each week to see what’s new, and see Mark’s PRO TIPS on coffee roasting & more below.

About No Apologies:

Mark’s journey into the world of coffee and espresso took an unexpected turn during the onset of COVID. What started as casual enjoyment evolved into a passionate home-roasting endeavor that brought joy to him, his family and friends & served as a weekly exploration of roasting techniques. Over the past couple of years, and with several roaster upgrades, Mark is excited to join forces with HHF to introduce what we believe is an exceptional product through No Apologies Coffee.

The mission of No Apologies Coffee:

1. One-of-a-Kind Experience: Provide distinctive, single-origin coffees that go beyond the offerings of local grocery stores or chain cafés. You won’t find any flavorings or fillers at No Apologies, just 100% amazing coffee.

2. Authenticity Over Marketing: You won't find any catchy coffee names here, as we prioritize transparency. Use the QR code on our packaging to reveal the origin of your coffee, including details about the farmer or their handling and processing methods. Take the opportunity to gather as much or as little information as you prefer, as we disclose the intricacies of our sourcing.

3. Environmentally Conscious Packaging: No one is perfect, but we recognize the environmental impact of traditional coffee bags, so we’ve created packaging from materials that break down and biodegrade over time, contributing to a more sustainable coffee experience and by encouraging the use of airtight storage canisters.
