Coffee FAQ

Roast Selection

What roasts do you offer?

Bakken Beans carries a range of roasts to match different tastes and occasions:

  • Black Gold — Medium Roast — a balanced everyday drinker
  • Black Gold — Dark Roast — bold and full-bodied
  • French Roast — deep, smoky, and intense
  • Breakfast Blend — smooth and approachable, great for mornings
  • Moonlighting — Double-caffeine — a high-caf blend built for night shifts and long hauls; bold, brisk, with a dark-berry undertone
  • Winter Blend — Seasonal — a limited seasonal offering
  • Rooster Roast: Limited Edition Upland Season Dark Roast — a collector's-style limited dark roast

How do I choose the right roast?

If you prefer a clean, balanced cup, start with our Breakfast Blend or Black Gold Medium. For more depth and body, step up to Black Gold Dark or French Roast. If you need serious focus fuel for overnight or demanding shifts, Moonlighting is purpose-built for that.


Grind Choices

What grind options are available?

Most products ship in your choice of:

  • Whole Bean — grind fresh at home for maximum flavor
  • Standard — a versatile pre-ground suited for drip coffee makers
  • Coarse — ideal for French press and cold brew
  • Espresso — fine grind for espresso machines and Moka pots

Which grind should I choose?

Choose Whole Bean if you have a home grinder — you'll get the freshest cup. Choose Standard for most automatic drip brewers. Go Coarse for French press or cold brew. Select Espresso for an espresso machine or a Moka pot.

Returns

What is your return policy?

We want you to feel comfortable trying Bakken Beans.

  • First bag: If you're not satisfied with your first bag for any reason, contact us for a full refund — no need to send it back.
  • After your first order: Coffee is perishable, so we don't accept returns on opened or unused bags unless something went wrong (damaged in transit, defective, or we sent the wrong item).
  • Damaged orders: If a package arrives damaged, contact us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number and a couple of photos. We'll make it right with a replacement or refund.

Outbound shipping is only refunded when the issue was on our side or the carrier damaged the order.
