Finding the Perfect Roast
Our Journey with Seven Weeks Coffee and Night Swim Coffee
Choosing the Perfect Coffee for Praise and Pour
Starting a coffee business is an adventure—exciting, challenging, and filled with endless decisions. One of the most important? Choosing the coffee we’ll serve. After all, great coffee is at the heart of what we do. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been testing and tasting coffee from two incredible roasters: Seven Weeks Coffee and Night Swim Coffee. Both have their strengths, but as we near a decision, Night Swim Coffee feels like the best fit for Praise and Pour.
Let me take you behind the scenes of this journey.
Why We Loved Both Roasters
Both Seven Weeks Coffee and Night Swim Coffee offer exceptional coffee, and each roaster brings something unique to the table. Seven Weeks Coffee is a company rooted in a beautiful mission, supporting pro-life organizations through their sales. Their dedication to their cause is inspiring, and their coffee reflects that same care and quality.
Night Swim Coffee, on the other hand, has brought something extra to the experience. From the moment we reached out, their communication has been personal and attentive. They don’t just sell coffee—they build relationships with coffee business owners like us.
Why Night Swim Stands Out
As we tested both roasters, it became clear that Night Swim Coffee truly aligns with what Praise and Pour is all about: quality, service, and community. Here are a few reasons we’re leaning in their direction:
-
Personalized Communication: Night Swim’s team has been consistently reaching out, checking in, and making sure we have everything we need. Starting a business is daunting, and having a partner that feels just as invested in your success makes all the difference.
Affordable Prices: As any small business owner knows, costs add up quickly. Night Swim offers slightly lower prices without compromising on quality, which helps us ensure we’re providing the best to our community while staying sustainable.
Amazing Coffee: And of course—there’s the coffee itself! Smooth, rich, and full of flavor, Night Swim’s roasts have quickly become our favorites.
What This Means for Praise and Pour
Choosing the right coffee partner is about more than just the beans. It’s about the relationships, the values, and the trust we’re building. Night Swim Coffee has shown us that they’re not just a supplier—they’re a partner in this journey.
We’re so excited about the future and can’t wait to serve their incredible coffee when Praise and Pour opens in March 2025. We believe our community will love it as much as we do, and we can’t wait to share that first cup with you.
Final Thoughts
Starting this journey has been a blessing, and it’s taught us so much already. We’re grateful for both Seven Weeks Coffee and Night Swim Coffee for letting us experience their amazing work. This process has reaffirmed just how passionate we are about creating a space where people can come together, share a cup of coffee, and feel uplifted.
Stay tuned as we continue preparing for launch!
