Finest coffee in the world
every month for the year!

Through many years of building global relationships and developing our concept of a world-class sourcing program, we have committed ourselves to unearthing the finest and most unique coffees in the world. In this pursuit, we occasionally come across rare gems that constitute one-of-a-kind coffee experiences. These nano-lots are usually grown in a small section of a farm that has been reserved for experimental processing, fermenting, or cultivation techniques. These coffees are highly sought after and often sell out rapidly upon release into the market.

Echelon 2025 is your guaranteed ticket to an entire year’s supply of the world's most extraordinary coffees – along with everything you need to prepare it from the comfort of your home. Our Echelon annual membership features an evolving collection of critically acclaimed coffees cultivated by the most illustrious producers, cooperatives, and estates around the globe.

Both a coffee-only membership and an all-inclusive coffee plus equipment membership are available for the Echelon 2025 program. In addition to offering a new box of coffee each month, the full membership will feature an initial package containing a curated arsenal of brewing equipment. This assortment of tools has been hand-picked by brewing experts in collaboration with industry-leading equipment manufacturers to deliver a pinnacle brewing experience for these coffees. Combined with these tools, we’re adding pre-calibrated mineral packets for precise water chemistry control, protecting against water source variability. Furthermore, monthly coffee shipments will arrive alongside step-by-step video resources of our team preparing the offering using the exact same equipment provided. Altogether, this membership option is designed to remove as many conceivable barriers as possible between you and a cup of coffee that is truly extraordinary.

Our coffee-only membership is for those participants desiring to partake in the journey of all the same incredible coffees, but without the custom Echelon gear collection. With this option, you can enjoy each month’s offerings with your own favorite brewing methods or with equipment you’ve already invested in. All the same educational resources will be available for coffee-only members, making this a high-value membership option at a lower cost of entry.

We offer a highly limited number of Echelon memberships each year. This project's exclusivity stems from the intricate and sensitive process of sourcing these scarce, high-quality nano-lots, which undergo extensive testing and profiling before inclusion.

This limited-edition Vario+ boasts large 54mm steel burrs that will bring the A game in performance, consistency, and overall cup quality that these world-class coffees deserve. Enjoy time-based dosing, a durable metal grind chamber, 220 levels of adjustments, and a backlit LCD display with the ability to preset 3 different dose settings.

FELLOW x ECHELON STAGG EKG PRO STUDIO KETTLE

Stagg EKG Pro Studio is the newest evolution of the long-standing electric kettle of choice for serious home brewers and world champion coffee brewers alike, and for a good reason. Featuring to-the-degree variable temperature control and a gooseneck precision pour spout for enhanced pouring control, it heats quickly to save on brew time and the full color LCD screen makes it easy to use in all lighting settings. The sleek design and small minimalist glass and metal base will make it a beautiful addition to your coffee bar with a gentle chime when your water is ready. We’ve enhanced the sleek matte black colorway with a simple Echelon mark, making this one limited edition kettle to stand apart from the rest.

ORIGAMI x ECHELON DRIPPER

We're excited to introduce the Origami x Echelon Dripper as a key component of the 2025 Echelon program. Developed in collaboration with Origami Japan, this special edition dripper's exceptional design and brewing capabilities stand out as a complementary addition to the program. Each component of Echelon is carefully selected to enhance the flavor and quality of the world-class coffees offered in the program, ensuring the most enjoyable coffee experience.

EMBER x ECHELON SMART MUG

The Echelon Brew Kit includes a one of a kind Black Ember 6oz Cup with the signature Echelon skull printed in gold. This smart cup will maintain your preferred drinking temperature at a precise temperature throughout your full experience. It’s sleek and boasts a number of other features including a built-in battery that allows you to sip slowly in any room of the house or on the go, a Smart LED, and an app for convenient control.

TIMEMORE SMOKED GLASS SERVER

The 600ml Timemore carafe is crafted from borosilicate glass, known for its low thermal expansion and high resistance to thermal shock, making it superior to regular glass. Its modern design is highlighted by a smoked gray undertone, giving it a sleek appearance. The carafe features thick, geometric handles for comfortable gripping and a v-shaped spout for precise pouring. These elements combine to offer both aesthetic appeal and functional excellence in coffee brewing.

TIMEMORE BLACK MIRROR SCALE

Meticulous brew methods require precise measurements. Each recipe given for your month's coffee will have weight instructions for coffee and water down to the gram. The Timemore Black Mirror weighing panel is a sleek single sensor scale with a built-in timer and a one-tenth of a gram precision weight sensor that performs with an ultra-fast response time. The powerful LED display makes it easy to see, even in brighter environments, and it comes with a matching non-skid silicone pad. The single forged top shell is designed to be water resistant, so spillage won’t damage the scale, and it’s made with a matte surface to prevent fingerprint smudges. Lastly, this is also a chargeable scale with up to 7 hours of usage time per charge. It will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of timer inactivity / 3 minutes of total inactivity to preserve your battery life.

THIRD WAVE WATER

The art of making great coffee starts with the science of making great water. These coffees need a particular brewing water chemistry for the best tasting notes to make it into the cup. With Third Wave Water, you will enhance your final cup by just adding one packet to a 1-gallon jug of distilled water. Every variable we can control in extracting the perfect cup are accounted for in the Echelon program.

BREW GUIDES BY 2022 US BREWERS CUP CHAMPION ELIKA LIFTEE

Proper brewing and perfect extraction is the difference between good and great, especially when you are dealing with coffees of this caliber. The cost is high, both financially and emotionally, when a coffee is executed poorly at this level due to improper education, equipment malfunction or variables in extraction that seem out of your control. These are some of the most expensive coffees in the world, and we will be providing you with step by step instruction on how to get the most out of each offering. Through innovation and research, we’ll be putting together custom videos with Elika for each coffee offering in our training lab that work with you each step of the way to ensure the best cup. We’ll be curating all of the brew guides along with the equipment that comes with an Echelon membership so that all variables and guess work are removed. This will guarantee the best cup each time, and you can join your fellow Echelon members on a worldwide flavor journey.
