Infused with fresh herbs and seared to perfection, it’s surprisingly easy to make but tastes like a dish from a high-end bistro. Pair it with roasted potatoes and a swipe of lavender honey butter for a dinner that’s both rustic and refined.

At Java Momma, our mission is singular and steadfast: to roast the finest coffee beans. We are dedicated to transforming each bean into a rich, aromatic experience that elevates your daily brew. With a passion for perfection and a commitment to quality, Java Momma is here to brew the best for the best – you.

Our order arrived on time and everything was correct. The first problem was getting the bag open. There is a tear strip on the side of the bag but that does not open the bag, rather it reveals the plastic inner bag liner. The seam across the top of the bag does not open either, even if you try to persuade it with a knife. Eventually we just cut it wide open with scissors, and accepted that we will have to find alternate packaging in order to keep the product fresh.
Turns out, we won't need alternative packaging because we found the product to be bitter and offensive tasting. It is now in the trash pail.

Smooth delicious coffee. Flavors are imaginative and fun. I can get decaf or regular, beans, drip or single serve cups.

Fun with friends

I hosted a coffee break with 7 of my friends to introduce them to Java Momma! Such a fun afternoon with Sadee Arnold our barista! While I'm enjoying the Butter Beer she left with me, I'm looking forward to my own Jawsome! Can't wait for that subtle coconut deliciousness!
