Howdy Friends!
We’ve got some big news brewing (literally). After many cups of coffee, several dumb questions, and a few cosmic revelations, we’re excited to share:
The Milky WayFarer Desert Drip is here — our very own custom roast.
This wouldn’t have happened without our friends Lesley and Coleman over at Mesa Coffee, who you may remember from their Marfa Coffee Co. days. I got to know them while living off and on in Marfa, remodeling the Milky WayFarer — and drinking entirely too much of their coffee.
When the idea of creating a Milky WayFarer roast came up, they were the first people I called. Over the course of a few days, Becca and I sat, tasting sample after sample (it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it). We learned about grind-to-water ratios, brew times, and just how much a little detail can change your morning ritual. They patiently answered every single question we threw at them — even the dumb ones — and helped us create a coffee that feels just like Marfa: warm, a little quirky, and full of character.
So here’s the deal:
If you’ve been thinking about making a return trip to Marfa, consider this your sign. The coffee and the stars are waiting for you.
Below is a little brew guide we put together — equal parts practical tips and Marfa humor — so you can make the perfect cup, no matter your style:
Your Coffee Brew Guide
(Locally enjoyed. Cosmically inspired.)
Coffee in Marfa isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual. Whether you’re chasing the sunrise or recovering from one too many gallery openings, here’s how to brew like a desert barista.
Pour Over“The art school kid of coffee.”Bright, clean, poetic. For when you’re feeling linen-clad and introspective.
French Press“Bold. Unfiltered. Like your uncle’s opinions.”Earthy, rustic, and best enjoyed in flannel by a campfire.
Coffee Machine (Drip Brewer) “Gets the job done. Like a reliable pickup truck." Balanced and dependable, with just a hint of Marfa magic.
Looking forward to seeing some of you back in Marfa soon — we’ll save you a seat (and a cup). Oh, and BTW, you can Buy the Beans here.
Stay caffeinated, stay cosmic,
— Rob & BeccaThe Milky WayFarer ✨
P.S. If you drink enough Desert Drip, you might even unlock the meaning of life. (No guarantees, but worth a shot.)
