Why Fresh Coffee Takes Time

Why Fresh Coffee Takes Time

Made-to-order magic is worth the wait (we promise it’s not just us being slow)

We know, we know. You’re living in the age of instant gratification. Groceries in an hour. Socks by tomorrow. A new shower head on your porch before you even realize you ordered it.

But here at Dreams Come Brew, we’re not built for speed.
We’re built for flavor. For freshness. For that first magical sip that makes you go: “Ohhhhhh okay, this is what coffee is supposed to taste like.”

And that kind of coffee?
It takes a minute. (Well, a few business days, actually.)

☕ Here’s How It Works (a.k.a. the Journey of Your Magical Beans)

🔥 Roasted to Order

No stale stock. No dusty bins. No “eh, it’s probably still fine.”
We roast your coffee after you order it. Each batch is crafted the next business day it enters the queue—fresh, hot, and full of personality. (Just like you.)

🏷️ Printed Fresh

Your coffee’s label? That’s printed on demand, too. That means:

  • No label waste

  • No typos living on for eternity

  • No random sticker that says “Pumpkin Spice” when it’s really “Hazel & Spice” (rude)

💌 Packaged With Love (and Gloves)

Your beans are sealed up, hugged tightly by our coffee bags, and prepped for their great journey to you.
Each order ships out in 3–5 business days, depending on our queue and the universe’s mood.

📦 Delivered Just in Time

We ship with USPS or UPS, and delivery usually takes 1–5 business days, depending on how far away you are and whether your mail carrier has had their coffee yet.

Wait... Why No Expedited Shipping?

Excellent question, caffeinated cutie.
Here’s the tea (or coffee): Expedited shipping doesn’t speed up the coffee magic. It just speeds up the mail truck.

We still need time to:

  • Roast it

  • Print it

  • Bag it

  • Seal it

  • Tell it goodbye with a little pat and a tear in our eye

So while we could offer faster shipping… it would just mean your package sits in the queue a little faster. And that doesn’t sit right with us. We’d rather give it to you straight—just like your coffee.

The Dreams Come Brew Philosophy:

Fresh > Fast. Always.

We’re not a factory line. We’re not chasing Amazon Prime energy.
We’re chasing craft.
We believe coffee should feel like it was made for you—because it was.

So when you order from us, you’re not getting something pulled off a dusty warehouse shelf. You’re getting:

  • A roast with your name on it

  • A label that wasn’t printed until it needed to exist

  • Beans that didn’t even know they were going to be yours until just now

Pretty romantic, right?

So Sip Slow.

Trust the process.
And know that every cup from Dreams Come Brew was handcrafted—from roast to doorstep—with love, intention, and maybe a little jazz playing in the background.

Because some things are worth waiting for.
(Especially if they taste like “Cup of Mischief” or “Caramelicious.”)
