A medium-roast house blend combining coffees from El Salvador and Brazil. Varietals listed include Bourbon, Mundo Novo, and Yellow Catuai. The lot uses a mix of washed and natural processing and presents tasting notes of hazelnut, milk chocolate, honey, nougat, and maple. It is described as suitable for espresso, auto drip, and French press brewing.
A two-person operation out of Orange County, Second Spin takes its name from a now-closed local vinyl shop, hence the record-store language throughout: "Coffee Playlist" for the regular lineup, "Limited 66" for small-batch drops, "Classics" for everyday staples. The founders spent fifteen years as baristas, managers, and roasters before launching their own roastery, with an emphasis on farmer-direct sourcing and experimental processing. Current offerings lean heavily into anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock lots from Colombian producers. The approach is light-roasted, fruit-forward, priced to stay accessible.
