Are you a First Responder or just a coffee lover? Here at ER LIFE Coffee is just as important as life. We have been on the hunt for some of the best coffee roasters in the industry. This week we gave Component Coffee Lab a try. We got the recommendation from a follower on Instagram two weeks ago. We never heard of the company prior to the purchase.
The first thing we noticed while browsing CCL website was that their coffee appeared to be uniquely sourced. They had very specific and unique areas in the world from which they curated their coffee beans. As a premium inspired company we were very intrigued. So we jumped in beans deep and purchased two bags.
