Folksy House Blend

Every table needs an anchor. Folksy is ours.

This is the cup we hand you when you say "Just a coffee please." It's naturally sweet, no bitterness, nothing to figure out.

Brew Guide

One gram of coffee to sixteen of water (about two heaping tablespoons per 12-oz mug). Folksy forgives: it's the blend we run through the batch brewer at all four shops, so if you've had "a coffee" at Convive, you've probably had this.

Folksy is our dark roast house blend coffee: Honduran and Colombian beans, washed mixed varieties, roasted darker than anything else we make at our Lawrenceville roastery in Pittsburgh. In the cup that means dark chocolate, caramel, and a heavy body — an everyday dark roast that stays naturally sweet, with none of the bitterness dark coffee gets blamed for.

It's an easy coffee to live with. Brew it as automatic drip, French press, or pour-over; order it as whole bean coffee or ground for your brewer. It comes in 12 oz bags and a 5 lb bulk option — the one our regulars buy so they never run out, and the size that quietly runs a lot of Pittsburgh offices.

Every batch is small-batch roasted and shipped fresh nationwide from the roastery, and subscriptions always ship free. If you've been searching for the best everyday dark roast to anchor your kitchen, this is the one we'd hand you.

Folksy House Blend
From $21.00

Convive was founded in 2012 with one simple belief:

Coffee can be a catalyst for connection in our community, at a collective table. Four minutes on who we are.

Fresh is a number, not a feeling.

Coffee tastes best between day 3 and day 21 after roasting. We built the roastery around that window: small batches roasted every day in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, and shipped fresh so the bag lands when the coffee is at its peak.

Every coffee runs to its own logged roast profile, repeated batch after batch, so the cup you open this week is the cup you ordered last month.

The science of a better cup

What happens between the farm and your mug.

Roasted every day

Small batches, every day, at our Lawrenceville roastery. Nothing sits on a shelf waiting for an order.

A profile for every coffee

Each coffee gets its own roast curve, logged and repeated batch to batch. Light for the fruit-forward lots, darker for Folksy.

Bagged at its peak

Coffee peaks from day 3 to day 21 after roasting. We pack and ship inside that window, with the roast date on every bag.

Roasted by a Q Grader

Paulo Meléndez has run our roasting since 2019: Q Grader, two-time Guatemalan National Barista Champion, and Guatemala's competitor at the 2026 World Barista Championship.

Questions people ask us

We roast every day in small batches and ship fresh from Pittsburgh. Coffee tastes best between day 3 and day 21 after roasting, and that is the window your bag lands in. The roast date is printed on every bag.

Both. Every coffee comes whole bean or ground for espresso, pour-over, automatic drip, Chemex or French press. Whole bean stays fresh longest; if you don't own a grinder, pick the grind that matches your brewer.

Sealed, cool and dark, away from the stove and out of the fridge. Aim to finish a bag within three weeks of the roast date.

Orders of $60 or more ship free anywhere in the U.S., and every subscription ships free. Smaller orders ship at a flat rate shown at checkout. Most orders arrive within 3–5 business days.

Pick a coffee, choose every two or four weeks, and we roast it fresh for each delivery. Shipping is on us. You can manage it from your account.

Four cafes around Pittsburgh: Lawrenceville (home of the roastery), McCandless, North Shore and Mars.
