You can find the Best By date printed on the bottom of every Blind Dog Coffee bag. Our coffee is roasted six months before the Best By date, which is the window we use to ensure optimal freshness.

For example, if the Best By date on your bag is March 2026, that means the coffee was roasted around September 2025.

If you ever have questions about your coffee or the code on the bottom of your bag, our team is always happy to help.

Blind Dog Coffee currently offers FREE shipping on subscription orders of $65 or more.

Free shipping is available for qualifying coffee subscription orders only and does not apply to one-time purchases, liquid products, Lotus Plant Power Concentrates, or SHOTT™ Syrups.

Shipping costs for one-time purchases are calculated at checkout based on your location and selected shipping method.

We now apply a small $0.25 per pound service charge for all ground coffee orders. This fee helps cover the additional time and equipment care needed to freshly grind your beans for every order. For example, a 12oz bag adds $0.25, while a 5lb bag adds $1.25. Whole bean orders are not affected by this charge.

Coffee order pickups are located at our coffee shop and cafe the Blind Dog Coffee Lab in Minden, Nevada (Get Directions).

Our slow roasting process and use of 100% Arabica beans result in almost all of our coffee being naturally low-acid. Generally speaking, dark roasted coffee typically has a less acidic flavor profile, whereas lighter roasts may offer a brighter, more acidic note. Brewing methods and clean equipment play a big role—use filtered water for the best results.

Blind Dog Coffee™ sources beans from around the world — including South America, Africa, and Ethiopia. We proudly work with Royal Coffee, a family-owned importer of specialty green coffees serving the international roasting community.

Blind Dog Coffee Roasters was founded in Reno, Nevada by Mark Berry, who overcame childhood cancer and later became legally blind after years of radiation treatments. Refusing to let his disability define him, Mark learned the art of coffee roasting alongside his family and built Blind Dog Coffee into a symbol of resilience, determination, and community.

The dog in our logo is inspired by one of Mark’s real seeing eye dogs that supported him through his journey after surgery. Today, the Blind Dog represents perseverance, family support, and the belief that challenges should never define your limits 💚

The general rule is 2 Tbsp. of ground coffee per 6 oz. of water. Adjust grind size, amount, and brewing method to suit your taste for the perfect cup.

Fine Grind – Ideal for pour-overs, espresso, and other delicate brews.
Drip Grind – Perfect for regular coffee makers and flat filters.
French Press – Best for French press, percolators, or any brew that needs a coarse grind.
