Java Pura Coffee Roasters

What can I say? They roast some excellent coffee.
Now, the address you see in Unilocal is not a café or anything like that. It is their office address and where they do the roasting. They’ve done sales from there, before, but I don’t know if they do them there anymore (it’s been a while since I went in there). They are nice folks, though!

There is just no better coffee bean out there in Houston. Maniacal commitment to sourcing the very best beans, then roasting them to bring out their best. Tired of overly roasted coffees that taste reminiscent of an ashtray? Worry not. While those who insist on charred coffee can get their French roast, they are missing out on the payoff of all that careful sourcing of beans. Once you burn beans, they all taste the same. Many of JP’s beans are roasted on the light side of medium. Costa Rica Don Teofilo is one of the only 3 beverages I ever drink anymore. Drink it black, even if you aren’t used to drinking it black. Discover things in your coffee you never taste drinking all that «bold» garbage… caramel, walnuts, milk chocolate, brown butter.
Buy it at Central Market, or get a better price by picking it up at their facility on Gulfton on roasting days (Tues and Thurs.) Call in the morning, tell them what you want, and they’ll have it packed with your name on it — beans still warm in the package.

So for anyone looking for a sit down coffee shop, this is NOT it lol. It’s a location for the roasting of the coffee. The owner (Richard I think is his name) is super nice and happy to give a tour or talk to you about the coffee. I got a bottle of the cold brew and it was delicious! Planning to buy whole beans in the near future

Super nice people, great facility and excellent coffee! Glad I found this place!

We buy this coffee from the Eastside farmer’s market, and we’ve also visited the roastery for a tour. It’s good coffee; better yet, at $ 10 for 12 ounces, it’s affordable given the quality. Also, because it’s roasted a mile from our home, it’s always absurdly fresh. The aroma dominates our cupboard.
Highly recommended.

Great coffee. Tried the Ethiopian and it is the best I have found in Houston. Look forward to trying other single origin cups.

Love this coffee, so I leapt on the chance to take a group tour. Richard conducted the tour which was informative and fun. We got to try two types of coffee and learn more about why their coffee tastes so fresh. I bought a bag at discount to take home and the smell in my house is so much more aromatic than any other coffee. A must see and taste for Houston coffee enthusiasts.

Amazingly smooth and fresh coffee. No bitterness.
Friendly people. They will show you around their facility.
A little hard to find in a business park, but worth the adventure.

What a great place for fresh roasted coffee! Incredible flavor and profile, smooth and rich everything to be expected from fine specialty coffee!

Great coffee roaster! Richard the owner gave me a nice tour! Beans directly from the farmers.

This is awesome coffee. The Costa Rican beans aged in oak wine casks are incredible — I’ve never tasted coffee this good; or this unique. The beans are naturally infused with a perfect touch of fine wine and oak aromas.
Coffee beans just don’t get any better than this. And it’s no wonder, Richard and his crew go to EXTREMES to produce the absolute best roasts from hand-​picked beans. Nothing is left to chance and it shows. Thanks for the best coffee experience ever!!!

Super friendly people. Richard is a very nice guy, gave me and a friend a ride since we were on longboards. Alex the younger guy was also very cool. He showed us around and gave us a tour of the roaster. All around cool place, will deffinantly go back.

I stopped by the Java Pura roasting facility today. These people are very friendly. Richard gave me tour and a lot of great information about coffee; how it’s grown, picked, processed, and roasted. Java Pura coffee comes directly from individual growers in Costa Rica and all over the world. Their coffee is roasted in Houston, and available in stores the next day. Java Pura coffees are roasted in small batches from a single source. They travel to where the coffee is grown, and build a relationship with the farmers. They taste the coffee from a harvest and purchase only the highest quality product. Richard sold me three bags with very different flavor profiles. I can’t wait to try them!

My husband and I were visiting family in Houston over Christmas. We had gone to one café that we liked the day after Christmas but it was closed. We found Java Pura on Unilocal and decided to go there. As we approached the address, we thought Unilocal had it wrong but then we saw the sign and went in. We were warmly welcomed, given a delicious latte and a fascinating tour of the facility. We love talking about coffee and they do too. It was so much fun. We left with their espresso blend. Back in NYC, we’ve just finished the Espresso Blend and it was absolutely delicious. Run, don’t walk to Central Market to try it. It rivals some of the great coffees we can get locally in NYC. A real treat.

Best coffee in Houston! I picked up a 10# order and they were so friendly.

I finally found a local coffee roaster! i only go through half a pound a week and i like my espresso fresh. it makes such a difference. I got the french roast and the amount of crema on my espresso was awesome. The sign at central market says they deliver every wednesday. They actually have roasted on dates on the bags too.

Best coffee and catering ever

I received a bag of their French Roast in the mail from a local source who Fedexed it overnight so that I could try these freshly roasted beans.
Smooth, no acidity, but just bold enough to entice me!
Then, while at Central Market, I sampled their Costa Rican (lovely but a bit mellow for me) and their Panama and Holiday roasts. All truly perfect roasts. They stand alone or can be «dressed» up with a spot of warm milk (please, no sweeteners, people!)
I will stock up each time I’m in Houston!

This place is the BEST coffee I’ve had in Houston, by far!!! Seriously, I’ve tried several of the blends and liked them so much I had to visit their site/​office. it’s great! you can actually see how the coffee beans are processed, roasted, and packaged, and they will give you a tasting of different ones so you can decide what you like. They even show you which farms in which country your coffee is coming from… that’s amazing. Who woulda thunk it?
I think this place is 5 star not just for the coffee, but also for the service. They really care, and I love supporting local businesses like this one. These guys rule my caffeinated world!!!
My favorite beans: Sumatra Iskanar, Espresso Blend, Sumatra Aceh Gold, Cost Rica Los Angeles, EthiopianLekempti, and Ethiopia Misty Valley. I bet they are all good, but these are my favorites.
