The Story Behind the Roast
Every roast carries a memory. A moment. A mountain. Discover the history behind the blends we craft — each one a tribute to heritage, flavor, and fire.
Blind Donkey Light Roast
Blind Donkey Light Roast is a tribute to the unsung heroes of Park City’s silver mining past. In the mines, donkeys often spent so long underground that they emerged nearly blind. To protect their eyes, miners wrapped their heads in gauze, uncovering one layer each day to help them slowly adjust to the light again.
At Stolen Claim Coffee, this roast honors their quiet resilience with a bright, smooth cup that gently awakens the senses. Just like those first rays of light, our light roast brings clarity and comfort—layer by layer.
DEAD FRENCHMAN ROAST
Dead Frenchman Roast takes its name from one of Park City’s most legendary lost claims. As the story goes, a lone French prospector struck silver deep in the Wasatch Mountains, only to vanish before ever recording the claim. Though no one ever found his body, whispers of the “Dead Frenchman’s Mine” have lived on in mining lore.
At Stolen Claim Coffee, we honor his ghostly legacy with this bold and complex dark roast—rich in flavor, full-bodied, and unforgettable. It’s a brew worthy of buried treasure.
FOOL’S GOLD DECAF
In Park City’s mining boom, even the most seasoned miners could be fooled by glittering veins of pyrite—worthless “fool’s gold” that crushed fortunes overnight. At Stolen Claim Coffee, we’ve turned that old disappointment into a rich reward. Our Fool’s Gold Decaf delivers the full-bodied taste of premium Park City coffee, without the caffeine—proving that not all fool’s gold is a waste.
FORGOTTEN MINER DARK ROAST
Forgotten Miner Dark Roast recalls one of Park City’s most haunting mining traditions. Miners would leave a personal token at the tunnel entrance—a tag, tool, or even the small collar of the bird that accompanied them underground. One miner, known for working side by side with his canary, vanished one day and never reclaimed his token. At Stolen Claim Coffee, we honor their memory with a dark roast as deep and enduring as the mines—rich, bold, and steeped in the stories the mountain never gave back.
POISON CREEK ESPRESSO ELIXIR
Poison Creek Espresso Elixir is named for the shadowed waters that once wound through Park City’s mining camps. Miners claimed the creek ran bitter from the tailings upstream, its stones stained strange colors, its surface carrying a metallic sheen. Some swore it made men sick… others whispered it drove them mad. At Stolen Claim Coffee, we’ve taken that tale of danger and turned it into pure energy—a bold, velvety espresso with a lingering bite, strong enough to stir even the most deep-sleeping miner.
SOILED DOVE SPECIAL ROAST
Soiled Dove Special Roast tips its hat to the women of Park City’s mining boom—the “soiled doves” who worked the saloons, dance halls, and back rooms along the bustling streets. They were as much a part of the town’s story as the miners themselves, trading in charm, wit, and survival. Their lives were tough, their reputations tougher, yet they carried themselves with a spark that couldn’t be dimmed. At Stolen Claim Coffee, this roast captures that same spirit—smooth, bold, and with just enough bite to keep you coming back for more.
