Sabbath Coffee Roasters

What Sabbath Coffee Roasters does

Sabbath Coffee Roasters is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster operating as a Michigan-registered LLC from its headquarters in Clawson, MI. The company roasts single-origin and blended coffees sourced through direct partnerships with named producers, including Forest Coffee's Black Condor Project in Colombia (supporting 15+ villages in Gaitania, Tolima) and El Vergel Estate (Bayter family), the Sancoffee farm select program in Brazil (Fazenda Cruzeiro / Ivan Junqueira Ribeiro), and a female-owned Ethiopian Yirgacheffe farm (Mrs. Tigest Wako). Its core product portfolio — spanning 11 named SKUs such as Ritual House Blend, Lunar Dark Roast, Brazil Serra Negra, Black Condor, Liturgy Blend, El Vergel Estate, Mrs. Tigest Wako, Gakenke, and Push Pop — is organized into three rotating collections (Perpetual core line, Transient seasonal, Anomalous limited) and is sold at price points from $17 (12oz) to $114 (5lb).

The company generates revenue through four streams: (1) one-time DTC coffee sales via a Shopify-powered storefront, (2) recurring subscriptions (2/3/4-week intervals with a 10% discount) including the Variety Sampler Pack, (3) wholesale/B2B supply to cafes and restaurants with dedicated account management, staff training, and equipment services, and (4) branded merchandise ranging from mugs, Fellow tumblers, and hats to apparel, bandanas, and novelty items (fingerboards, yo-yos, a self-published comic). Distribution combines two physical retail stores in the Detroit metro (Clawson and Royal Oak, both open daily 7AM-4PM) with the Shopify DTC site, where free shipping kicks in above $75 and international shipping is listed as forthcoming.

Founded and led by Miranda Graham and Trevor Graham, the company employs 11-50 people, has no disclosed institutional funding or M&A activity, and is organized as a privately held LLC with no parent company or subsidiaries. Its competitive positioning rests on traceable single-origin sourcing narratives, small-batch roasting, hybrid omnichannel distribution, and content-rich product pages rather than proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or scale economics.
