I used to live around the corner from the old location of Mason Jar Coffee Roasters. In my one visit to their store, I purchased some of their beans and got one of their waffles and coffee drink. The waffle was good, but too small for the price. I enjoyed the coffee drink (for some reason, my final judgment of it proved inconclusive) and looked forward to brewing the beans.
Anytime I purchase coffee to brew at home I look at the value I'm getting in return for what I paid. I knew that the coffee would be great from the moment I first smelled it. The cost of the beans set me back a bit, so the expectations were high. I loved the coffee. They are skilled roasters that produce appealing blends; however, I was somehow left wanting more. I can't put my finger on it. I wanted to be impressed. Instead, I was confused.
My efforts to conduct a follow up visit were thwarted when I realize their location was closed. I gave up on contacting them online after several emails and posts on their Facebook profile produced zero replies. I don't fault them for taking this approach. I understand it. At the same time, their lack of responsiveness serves to complicate my already apparent issues with Utah coffee producers.
I was delighted to find out that Mason Jar Coffee Roasters is still serving coffee. I'm always willing to give coffee companies the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps they will see this post, establish contact, and thaw the ice in our relationship. I have no expectations, so I will be surprised with any outcome.
I like the concept of Mason Jar Coffee Roasters. Their beans are sold in mason jars. I have seen so many bags of coffee in my day. There comes a time when these bags become indistinguishable from one another. It's difficult to keep coffee in bags fresh. I found that the coffee from Mason Jar stayed fresher for longer because of the container in which it's sold. Being able to get coffee in something unique is a welcome departure.
