Light Roast
The Good Soldier Schweik was a Czech literary character from the early 1920s who blundered his way through a war in the Ottoman Empire with good humor and not a little bit of luck. For some reason, it seemed like a good idea for us to name a blend after him. We started with the phrase “I Like Schweik” and just moved on from there. Pro-Tip: This award-winner is our highest scoring blend, and it’s super rare to find coffees of this quality for this price, so scoop 'em up and be a happy little soldier like Schweik.

Been using this for years now!
This is the high end version of a breakfast blend. Smooth, mild, not at all acidic. Drinks very well as black coffee or with milk/ cream. We prepare it in a French press. We have been ordering it as a monthly subscription for years, aand continued ordering it even after we moved out of Chicago to the West Coast. Great product. Thank you, Metropolis!
There's something really beautiful about having a freshly roasted bag of coffee show up to your home. It changes the aroma of your life, every day. I think I can speak for most of us when I say, we live busy distracted lives. To be able to slow down and brew and truly delicious cup of coffee right at home and spend three minutes doing it, is a treat. This coffee is worth slowing down for, taking in an extra moment and centering yourself for a busy day. I find myself both focusing up, and celebrating the little moments when I take a sip later on in the day. "It's just coffee", yeah, sure, whatever. I don't buy that. Trust me. Get this coffee, and slow down for a minute (so you can speed up later).
As coffee blends go, hard to find a better one
been drinking this for years. it's probably my favorite coffee.
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
