Description
Sirius is named after the brightest star in the sky, not just to stand out, but to shine a light on what matters.
We believe in coffee that does more, that starts with people. Sirius proudly supports the producers who care as much about their land and communities as they do about the cup.
We are here to connect you to their story. To pour purpose into every bag, cup, and sip. To connect us all into a constellation of community and effort.
Together, let's shine a little brighter!
We want to eliminate the hassle of remembering to order coffee by offering a regular subscription of your favorite Sirius coffees! Just follow these steps:
- Choose the frequency of when you’d like to receive your coffee
- Select Ground or Whole Bean (If you select Ground, comment your grind setting preference in the order notes)
- Place your order and wait for amazing coffee to come to your door!

About Gold Mountain Coffee Growers
In 2015, Sirius Coffee Roasters was founded, and ever since, we have worked with Gold Mountain Coffee Growers. Located in Nicaragua, the Jinotega and Matagalpa regions have quickly become staff and customer favorites when it comes to their coffee choice! Building our relationship for 10 years and counting, we were immediately drawn to Gold Mountain’s shared devotion to sustainability and excellence.
As a direct trade farming group, Gold Mountain Coffee Growers helps connect the specialty coffee farmers of Nicaragua directly with coffee roasters, overseeing their own export and import shipping across the world. Farms are treated like fine wine vineyards to maintain cup quality and social enterprise. We are constantly floored by the amazing taste of the coffees the farmers of Gold Mountain are able to produce year after year, but Gold Mountain’s impact on their communities and environment is what keeps us as firm supporters.
Gold Mountain offers zero to low-interest loans to farmers to achieve whatever they see fit, provides free computer classes to coffee communities to further their education, and educates farmers and cafes on the human effort it takes to make coffee a reality. Gold Mountain Coffee Growers use chickens to provide natural fertilizer, machetes instead of herbicides to control weeds, mushroom-diluted water spray to reduce the coffee-eating borer beetle, and have an incredible water recycling program that uses volcanic filters. They even bought a rainforest just to protect the natural environment and prevent deforestation at their own expense.
All of that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the incredible work being done at Gold Mountain Coffee Growers and that is why we could not be more proud to work with them!
