We are especially proud of very fist blend, Cardinal, which is still the house coffee at our Compass cafes. It is a smooth and mellow coffee, whose nutty-caramel flavor tastes great any season of the year. Cardinal travels especially well, making it the perfect cup for the coffee lover on the go.

A compass is a simple object with two essential functions: to help you get your bearings and to point you in the right directions. We think about good coffee the same way. We took the name Compass to honor this profound simplicity and utility. To us, the points of the compass are not just a symbol, but a reminder that - if nothing else - our coffee should always help you get your bearings and point you in the right direction for the rest of the day.
