Colombian-born Steven Sutton (whose family was forced to relocate to the U.S. as a result of the dangerous times in his homeland during the Escobar crime era ) launched Devoción in 2006 to produce the freshest coffee imaginable: for them roasting provides only half of coffee’s flavor, while mere freshness of the beans does the rest of the work. And yet, most coffee beans sit around for months, losing flavor every day. That’s why the Devoción team does everything short of picking the cherry, and do it fast. They hand-select their 1,000+ farm partners, dry-mill at their Bogotá facility, control the export process, and roast in Brooklyn.
