Devil's Head Coffee - Fresh Roasted in Calgary

Devil's Head Coffee is named after a real mountain in the Ghost River Wilderness, just west of Calgary. Chris and Tanis run a 5 kg micro-roaster in SE Calgary's Foothills Industrial Park, roasting two to three times a week — not because they have to, but because that is how fresh coffee should be. Every bag ships within days of roasting. Every blend is named after a climb or a route. The labels have photos from actual trips. This is what happens when outdoor people decide to roast coffee for other outdoor people. Free same-day Calgary delivery before 10 AM.

Fresh Roasted in SE Calgary — The Shortest Supply Chain in the City

Devil's Head roasts on a 5 kg machine two to three times per week. They do not warehouse coffee — bags ship within days of roasting, not weeks or months like most store-bought coffee. Chris, the founder, brings a scientific approach to every roast profile, sourcing green coffee directly from producers. Tanis runs the books and events. The result is the shortest possible supply chain for Calgary coffee drinkers: roasted in Calgary, shipped from Calgary, delivered in Calgary the same morning you order. You can taste the difference between a bag roasted last Tuesday and something that sat on a shelf for six weeks. The Ghost and Alberta Jam are the most popular blends, each available in 1 lb, 2 lb family bags, and 5 lb bulk.

Single Origins from Four Continents — Traceable, Seasonal, Interesting

Guatemala from Devil's Head is cocoa and orange — a crowd-pleasing medium roast that works for any brew method. Ethiopia is bright and wine-like with berry complexity, made for pour-over and Chemex. Peru brings soft spice and nuttiness. Rwanda is berry-forward with a clean, bright finish. Each single origin is 1 lb, whole bean or ground to order. These are not the same beans year-round — they change with each harvest, which is the whole point of drinking single origin. If you want to taste what a specific region tastes like in a specific season, this is where you start.

Blends Built for the Way You Actually Drink Coffee

The Ghost is a hazelnut-and-chocolate espresso blend that works beautifully with oat milk or straight — it is the best seller for good reason. Alberta Jam is a chocolate-covered-berry filter blend, designed for drip and pour-over, named after a legendary climbing route. Morning Rise is the comforting daily driver — medium, balanced, reliable. The Real Big Drip is a medium roast built for filter brewers. Every blend comes whole bean or ground for your brew method, in 1 lb, 2 lb (family size), or 5 lb (bulk) bags. The 5 lb bags save roughly 25-30% per gram compared to buying 1 lb at a time. And every bag of Dirt Nap supports the Moose Mountain Bike Trail Society, funding trail building with every purchase.
