Hey friends! If you’re reading this, you’ve probably noticed our new site. We’re excited to share it with you and felt it was time for an upgrade that really reflects who we are. The new site makes it easier to explore our coffees, learn about us, and stay connected with everything happening at Little Amps. Thanks for checking it out and growing with us!

MIA: How did you first get into coffee? How old were you? WHITNEY: My coffee origin story starts when I was 16. I got my first job at Starbucks—like many baristas do—and just fell in love with coffee and the connections around it. Eventually I moved to a small roaster in Gettysburg, Bantam Coffee Roasters. I was there for a couple of years, working as a barista and managing their two coffee trucks. I loved the community outreach side of that job.

Here at Little Amps we are always on the hunt for fun and interesting tasting coffee to bring to our guests and wholesale partners. We work directly with importers who work hand in hand with farmers to bring quality, ethically sourced coffee to you! The two prominent importers we work alongside are Coffee Quest and Osito Coffee. Together, we are able to highlight producers and share their work with people all around the world!

Hey, it's another Little Amps' Holiday Blend Y'all, 2025 Edition!! We've been so enamored with the 50/50 blend of washed and natural process Ethiopian coffees that we just had to do it again! This year features two coffees from Aba Nura of the Jimma Zone, one fully washed and one natural, sourced through our friends at Osito Coffee. In the cup, you’ll find notes of juicy berries, sweet chocolate, and delicate florals. A delicious way to amp up the festivities this season!  

Amid the misty hills of Chikkmagalur, India, Ajoy and Pranoy Thipaiah of the Kerehaklu Estate have dedicated their lives to cultivating nothing but the best on their biodiverse land growing coffee and other local vegetation on their 97-hectare plantation.

On average Americans drink 400 million cups of coffee per day. Whether that be at home, at the office, or your local coffee shop, coffee is habitual for millions of people. Though, drinking large amounts of coffee can cause adverse effects on a person; making decaf is an incredible option to continue sipping on your favorite beverage. Today I will walk you through two methods of decaffeination that we have used here at Little Amps - Swiss Water Processing and Ethyl Acetate Processing.
