Still, others immediately think strong coffee is bold coffee and some will reply that they don’t like strong coffee. If they think that bold coffee is strong coffee, they tend to shy away from anything bold.

Bold coffee and strong coffee are two different things. Detroit Bold has several varieties of its coffee. . .

• There’s Traditions, a delicious light roast.
• Our #1 seller is Woodward Ave. a medium roast. It’s fantastic coffee.
• Our Cafe Signature Colombian-Espresso is an awesome dark roast.
• Our new Baseline 8 Mile Blend is a deep-dark roast with shades of Ethiopian, naturally dark beans and an extra kick of caffeine. People really love it!

All of these coffees are bold, yet none of them would be considered overly strong.

Bold coffee and strong coffee are two different things.

We define the strength of coffee by the amount of its coffee to water ratio. Too much coffee grounds and not enough water would make an overly strong coffee. No matter the darkness of the roast, from light to deep-dark, Detroit Bold will never be too strong unless you add too much coffee grounds or not enough water.

We suggest 2- 2 ½   tbsp of coffee per 6 oz serving for the perfect cup of Bold.

Here’s a great idea! Go to www.detroitboldcoffee.com and try any one or all of our awesome varieties in any of the various roasts we make! We offer a variety pack at a discount to help you get started so you can sample all our coffee varieties.

Rest assured, we will always deliver a delicious, robust, full-bodied cup of coffee. Whatever your roast preference is, Detroit Bold is never burnt, always BOLD!

One of our strongest beliefs as a company is to give back and engage in our community. It is so critically important for businesses to learn how to create and set down their roots in areas where they can make the most significant impact.

To us at Detroit Bold, being significant is everything. Founder, AJ O’Neil, built Detroit Bold Coffee Company with the vision of being a catalyst for positive change in a city with a bleak outlook. And he chose a neighborhood that was negatively affected the most by decades of an economic downturn, Highland Park.

Positive change can happen from just one person. Detroit Bold Coffee Company is proof that one person can make an impact. The economic impact of Detroit Bold has created new jobs, helped local charities, fueled hard-working people everywhere, and brought enormous amounts of positive attention to a neighborhood and a city that HAD a bad rep.

Things have changed and are continuing to improve. The Motor City works hard. We make things. We have grit because we don’t let fleeting moments get us down. Great people live in Detroit, and as a result of their determination to rebound, great people are now moving in by the thousands! We are so incredibly proud to be DETROIT PROUD, DETROIT STRONG, and DETROIT BOLD. However, our job has just started!

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – Dr. Seuss.

Detroit has not fully rebounded, and there is a much room for improvement. We believe that our job of making a difference and impact in the community has just begun. We are committed to making our delicious hand-crafted, hand-packed coffee that will continue to bring a positive effect on our beloved city. We hope you will join us in our continued efforts by choosing to enjoy our refreshingly smooth, yet BOLD coffee the next time you buy coffee online or at your local grocery store.
