1st Method Coffee

Some people collect souvenirs.
We collect coffee experiences.
First Method Coffee is officially away on vacation, exploring Istanbul one cup at a time. Every sip is research.

Most people think coffee culture began in cafés.

It didn’t.

Long before espresso bars and latte art, coffee was already bringing people together around a small pot, shared among family, friends, and guests.

More than 600 years later, the ritual remains remarkably unchanged.

As this brewing method traveled across continents, communities embraced it as their own. New names emerged. New customs evolved. Yet the ritual endured.

Turkish Coffee. Arabic Coffee. Greek Coffee. Domaća kafa.

Different names. One enduring coffee culture.

From North Africa and the Levant to Yemen, Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans, this tradition helped shape the way generations experience coffee.

At 1st Method Coffee, we honor this heritage while refining it for today’s coffee drinkers.

Our collection reflects regions that have carried this ritual forward for centuries:

☕ Tarablus — inspired by the bold traditions of North Africa

☕ Levant — rich and aromatic, reflecting the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey

☕ Haemus — balanced and smooth, influenced by the Balkans

Sourced, roasted, and crafted in Victoria, BC.

Three blends.
Three regional expressions.
One brewing method that helped shape coffee culture around the world.

Sip. Savor. Repeat.

The best Sundays smell like fresh coffee and strawberry frosting.
