Devil's Head Coffee is Calgary's adventure-inspired micro-roaster. Founded by Chris — a former environmental consultant who turned a rock-climbing injury into a roasting obsession. Every batch is hand-roasted on a 5kg micro-roaster in SE Calgary, two to three times per week, so you never drink stale beans.
Named after the iconic Devil's Head Mountain in the Ghost River Wilderness, this coffee is for people who chase adventure — on the trails and in the cup. Every blend is named after a legendary climb or route: The Ghost, Alberta Jam, Morning Rise, The Real Big Drip, Cascadia Decaf, and the charity blend Dirt Nap. East Coast roasting style means balanced acidity and an explosion of flavours in every cup.

Why Calgary Chooses Devil's Head
Roasted to Order — Never Warehoused
Devil's Head roasts on a 5kg micro-roaster in SE Calgary two to three times per week. That means every bag was roasted within days of shipping, not weeks. For coffee drinkers who care about freshness, the difference is immediately noticeable: brighter flavours, more complex aromatics, and a cleaner cup. This isn't warehouse coffee — it's the real deal.
Available in Every Size — From 454g to 5 lbs
Every Devil's Head coffee comes in the standard 454g bag. For households that go through coffee faster, family size 2 lb bags offer better value with the same freshness. And for offices, cafés, or serious daily drinkers, bulk 5 lb bags deliver the best per-cup price — up to 30% savings compared to standard bags.
The Story Behind the Beans
Devil's Head was born in the Ghost River Wilderness — home to Devil's Head Mountain, a remote peak with 37 km of steep limestone walls and unpredictable river access. Founder Chris found his inspiration for both adventure and specialty coffee here. The Ghost — the signature espresso blend. Alberta Jam — a famous crack climb. The Real Big Drip — a world-famous ice climb. Morning Rise — for those early alpine starts.
