For $5, today's deal gets you $10 worth of freshly roasted premium coffee beans at Superlative Coffee Roasters downtown.

Superlative Coffee Roasters keeps bodies properly buzzing with its selection of fair-trade-certified, organically grown beans. Small batches of single-origin beans and handcrafted artisan blends find themselves tumbling headfirst into Superlative's little red on-site roaster, where they emerge roasted to order and ready for delectable supping, whether whole bean or ground. The single-origin Ethiopian Yirgacheffe packs a citrus wallop, with lingering lavender notes ($10 for 12 oz.), and the blended special dark keeps the acidity low and the bull-boded bass deliciously high ($10 for 12 oz.). Those having trouble deciding can venture into unknown flavor territories with the three way coffee sampler, which offers up the breakfast blend, a dark roast, and Superlative's signature blend ($15 for 12 oz.). Stop by Superlative's downtown roasting works Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to pick up a highly percolated pal.

Reviews

Lowell's Independent Automotive praised the java at Superlative Coffee Roasters:

• Today, I sampled the shop's Signature Blend. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. While there, be sure to check out their Little Red Roaster - It is often busy roasting up the latest fresh batch of beans. – Rob Morris, Lowell's Independent Automotive
