About For Five

For Five is a micro-roasting facility based in Queens, New York. Founded in 2011 by two best friends from Queens who wanted to introduce specialty coffee by New Yorkers for New Yorkers, For Five thrives on the energy of the city it calls home. By sourcing, cupping, roasting, importing and distributing coffee, while also supplying equipment and providing tech services, For Five has become a one-stop shop for all things coffee related.

 

Our Coffee

For Five believes that good coffee starts from the bean. Not the brown coffee bean that we all know, but the green bean picked fresh off the coffee trees—that is where you can actually see the quality of the coffee. That is why we’ve traveled around the world to make direct relationships with small coffee farms who have the highest quality crop. The results of our relentless searching, tasting, and cupping, can be experienced in every cup of For Five Coffee.

SOURCING OUR COFFEE

At For Five, we provide both Signature Blends and Single Origin Coffees sourced from 30 different regions around the world. With each of those 30 difference origins, we are making different blends by roasting every coffee bag individually. Depending on the customer’s palate, we have every type of roast profile available – light, medium, and dark. We source our beans from high-altitude areas near the equator to ensure the highest quality crop. Adequate rainfall, sun exposure and rich soil are also features we look for when sourcing our beans.
