#787coffee
Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a farm. We own Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico — and Supremo is the coffee it was built for.
Award-winning: Supremo carries the same specialty quality that earned 787 Coffee #3 Best Coffee Shop in New York City and #32 in North America — The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops, 2026.
Supremo is our flagship single-origin specialty coffee: a smooth medium roast of specialty-grade Arabica, grown at 3,000 feet in the mountains of Maricao and honey-processed for natural sweetness and depth. Tasting notes: dark chocolate, buttery caramel, citrus, and honey.
Honey-processed means the sweet mucilage is left on the bean as it sun-dries at the farm, so the sugars absorb right into the coffee — you taste it in every cup. Single-origin means every bean comes from one farm, with full traceability. No blending. No mystery origin.
Roasted to order in small batches — under 15 minutes, never sitting in a warehouse. And every bag plants one coffee tree at Micro Lot 2026, Hacienda Iluminada.
Brew it your way — espresso, pour-over, or drip. Available whole bean or ground.
