Born in uncertainty, crafted in solitude; Quarantine Blend is the foundation of Nuclear Coffee. In the early days of 2020, as the world stood still, this blend was perfected through countless hours of fine-tuning, ensuring a brew that could withstand the test of time.

Roasted to our signature Radioactive II level, this medium roast is a calculated fusion of high-altitude beans, grown at elevations between 4,000 feet and 6,000 feet. The result? A cup that delivers silky smooth chocolate and bright citrus tones, balanced by rich brown sugar, milk chocolate, and a whisper of orange zest. It’s a brew designed to bring warmth and familiarity, even in the most uncertain times.

Quarantine Blend is a relic of resilience. A reminder that even in isolation, something truly exceptional can emerge. Whether you're bunkered down or venturing into the wasteland, this is the fuel to keep you moving.

Please note any coffee that is ordered "ground" will be roasted, then degassed for 72 hours prior to grinding, packaging & shipping.

I love coffee, and this was one of the few I could drink black. It has such amazing flavor, can't wait to try the other blends.

Love the blends! Ready for more!

This is it.

When I think of coffee, I think of the dreariest and roughest mornings I've ever experienced and the dark, delicious bean juice that made them go from abysmal to satisfactory - and at the very least, tolerable. For years, as long as it perked me up that was good enough. After trying this stuff, I've come to appreciate that I CAN have coffee in the morning that IS delicious and deserve to expect it to taste as great as it makes me feel. This blend convinced me, setting a new standard for my enjoyment of both coffee and yes, mornings too. The subtle chocolate notes make my big dumb monkey brain really happy. You'll see what I mean...

The downside, it will make you selfish and deceptive.
You'll tell your friends about the really good coffee you just tried for the first time. They'll come over and smell your amazing house. Sarcastically pandering, they will ask if its the coffee that smells that good or if it's you. Trying to take advantage of that polite host inside us all, they'll ask to have 'just a cup'. You'll laugh (at the thought of yourself sharing any of your tasty new discovery) as you politely, albeit begrudgingly agree to give them a cup. Averting your welcoming gaze and smile, the weight of their demand will hit and you'll accept that drastic measures must be taken. You'll swap the Quarantine blend drip you just made for yourself with the crappy store-bought stuff that you sprinkled cinnamon and cocoa powder into for your friend's cup. Your friend will taste the quality and know it couldn't possibly be the same, but out of politeness will agree that the coffee IS really good and totally tastes AMAZING. Smiles will be had by all; however, you'll laugh a little louder knowing you get to drink the rest of the good stuff once they're gone. You'll continue to gatekeep the tastiest coffee out there all while effortlessly fighting off the guilt with every next delicious sip.
