Black Crest. Dark Roast. Now in Pods.

The same bold, smooth Black Crest character — in a convenient 12-pack pod format.

A three-origin dark roast crafted for richness without excess. Roasted fresh to order from specialty-grade Arabica — bold, chocolate-forward intensity without the over-roasted harshness that makes most dark pod coffee rough on your stomach.

Baker's chocolate and caramelized sweetness, smooth velvety texture, and a clean, balanced finish. Strong coffee that's actually smooth.

⚠️ Compatibility: Works with most Keurig and Keurig-adjacent machines (Hamilton Beach, etc.). Not compatible with Nespresso.

Best Brewed:

  • Black for full dark roast intensity
  • With milk for a rich, chocolate-forward latte

In the Cup

Bold yet balanced — baker's chocolate and caramelized sweetness with a smooth, velvety body and lasting warmth. Dark roast character without bitterness or harsh aftermath.

Origin & Region

This blend sources from Brazilian farms in Cerrado's mechanized agricultural systems, Mexican cooperatives in Chiapas focused on organic and sustainable practices, and Guatemalan producers in the volcanic soil regions of Antigua and Huehuetenango. These three origins provide reliable sourcing from well-established coffee-growing areas with strong farmer networks.

Blend Composition

This dark roast blend combines Guatemalan Bourbon, Typica, and Caturra for complexity and sweetness that holds up to darker roasting, Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean structure and balance, and Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for rich body and chocolate foundation. These varietals are specifically chosen for their ability to maintain origin character while developing the bold, roasted flavors and full body expected from a premium dark roast blend.

Altitude & Processing

900-2,000 MASL (meters above sea level) This dark roast blend combines Brazilian beans (900-1,400m) using pulped natural processing for chocolate richness and body, Mexican beans (1,300-1,750m) washed for structural balance, and Guatemalan beans (1,500-2,000m) washed for complexity. The varied processing methods develop into a bold, full-bodied dark roast that maintains origin character while delivering the robust intensity expected from this roast level.

Great tasting coffee!

"It is so rare to find an online coffee brand that actually delivers on its promises, but my friends at Crema Peaks nailed it. We just finished bags of both the Dark Black Crest and the Medium Heritage Peak, and I honestly still can’t decide on a favorite.
The Black Crest is impressively bold for a dark roast—it has that deep, rich flavor you want without any of the bitterness or 'burnt' taste you find elsewhere. Then you switch to the Heritage Peak and it’s just incredibly smooth and clean. Both blends have that signature high-quality finish that makes it easy to drink black. If you're looking for premium coffee from people who truly care about the craft, you need to order a few bags and see for yourself!"
