My husband and I have been Reanimator foundation blend drinkers since we moved in together 10+ years ago. We’ve changed jobs, crossed the bridge, had 2 kids, and man that foundation blend has been the only coffee we drink. The same says it, consistently delicious this morning as it was at our 3rd floor walk up in Bella Vista.

I love this coffee! I drink it every day in a pour over. Has a chocolately smell and bright and smooth taste.

I’d always purchased REANIMATOR Single Origin coffees. However, I recently decided to give the Foundation Blend a try. After all it is REANIIMATOR. How could I go wrong? This blend makes a wonderful cuppa … and available year round! I’ll definitely be adding REANIMATOR blends to the “mix”

Good questions

Brewing Foundation Blend

How should I brew Foundation?
Foundation is at its best as drip, espresso. For pour over or drip, start around a 1:16 ratio (22g of coffee to 350g of water) and adjust to taste. It's roasted so the milk chocolate and ripe berry notes come through without any fuss.
What does Foundation taste like?
Balanced and round — we taste milk chocolate, ripe berry, baking spice. It's a light–medium roast built from seasonal coffees.
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
Fresh. Coffee usually ships within 1 business day from our Philadelphia roastery, and subscriptions are timed so a new bag lands right as you finish the last one.
Can I subscribe to Foundation?
Yes — pick a bag size and schedule (or let the plan finder match one to how much you brew). Subscriptions ship free, code 10FIRST takes 10% off your first 3 shipments, and you can skip, pause, swap blends, or cancel anytime.
Can I pick up my order at a café?
Yes — and it's free. Choose your café at checkout instead of shipping; we run pickup orders from the roastery to every café on Thursdays. Subscriptions work the same way — every renewal can be a café pickup.
