Discovering Absolute Bearing Coffee in Groton

When we first set out to craft Absolute Bearing Coffee, our mission was clear: to bring you more than just a cup of coffee. We wanted to share an experience rooted in quality, authenticity, and adventure. Nestled in the heart of New England, Groton has become the perfect backdrop for our story. Here, the rich soil and vibrant community inspire every roast, every blend, and every sip. Join us as we explore the unique Groton coffee culture and what makes our coffee a true reflection of this special place.


Embracing Groton Coffee Culture


Groton is more than just a town; it’s a community that values craftsmanship and connection. The coffee culture here is alive and thriving, fueled by people who appreciate the art of a well-made cup. From local cafés to home brewers, there’s a shared passion for discovering new flavors and honoring the origins of every bean.


At Absolute Bearing Coffee, we’re proud to be part of this culture. Our approach is hands-on and personal. We source beans from small farms around the world, focusing on quality and sustainability. Each batch is roasted with care, ensuring that the unique characteristics of the beans shine through. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup or savoring a slow brew, you’re tasting the story of Groton’s coffee culture in every sip.


We invite you to explore our blends and single-origin coffees, each one crafted to highlight the best of what Groton and our global partners have to offer. Supporting local means supporting a community that values authenticity and adventure just as much as you do.

The Craftsmanship Behind Every Cup


Quality coffee starts with craftsmanship. At Absolute Bearing Coffee, we treat every step of the process like a voyage - from selecting the green beans to the final roast profile. Our veteran-owned roots inspire us to approach coffee with precision and pride, much like navigating a ship through uncharted waters.


We work closely with farmers who share our values. These partnerships allow us to trace the journey of each bean, ensuring transparency and fairness. When you brew our coffee, you’re not just enjoying a beverage; you’re connecting with the hands and hearts behind it.


Our roasting process is designed to bring out the best in each origin. For example, our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe highlights floral and citrus notes, while our Guatemalan Huehuetenango offers a rich, chocolatey depth. We encourage you to experiment with different brewing methods to find your perfect cup. Whether it’s a pour-over, French press, or espresso, the craftsmanship shines through.

What is the 15 Rule for Coffee?


One of the secrets to brewing a great cup of coffee is understanding the 15 rule. This simple guideline helps you balance coffee and water to extract the best flavors without bitterness or weakness.


The 15 rule means using 1 gram of coffee for every 15 grams of water. For example, if you want to brew 300 grams of coffee, you would use 20 grams of coffee grounds. This ratio is a great starting point for most brewing methods and can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences.


Why does this matter? Coffee extraction depends on the right balance. Too little coffee, and your brew will taste weak and watery. Too much, and it can become overly bitter or harsh. The 15 rule helps you find that sweet spot where the flavors are vibrant and well-rounded.


We recommend using a kitchen scale to measure your coffee and water precisely. This small step can transform your daily routine into a consistent, enjoyable experience. And remember, the grind size and water temperature also play crucial roles in the final cup.
