Gimme! Coffee is a coffee roaster and third-wave coffee shop, based in New York, with espresso bars in Ithaca, Trumansburg, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. Gimme! Coffee has a wholesale service that caters to coffee and espresso establishments. The espresso made at Gimme follows a rigorous quality control from beans to roast to cup, including a precise "dialing in" and logging of their Leftist espresso blend on a daily basis.
A focus at Gimme is to form relationships with farmers who grow coffee. As part of this bond between consumer and producer, the farmer may receive a price premium, which in turn, can help them improve their operations. For example, since 2009, Gimme has worked with a farmer in Colombia, helping the producer to attain organic certification and win awards.
The director of coffee at Gimme is working with Boyce Thompson Institute to map the arabica coffee genome to improve taste and make arabica beans less susceptible to disease.
In 2006, the New York Times named Gimme! Coffee among the best espresso bars in New York City. Gimme! Coffee received a Good Food Award, in the coffee category, for 2011 and 2012.Roast magazine chose Gimme! Coffee as winner of their 2013 Roaster of the Year contest (macro category).
Gimme offers guidance and advice on equipment and technique for the home coffee brewer. In 2013, Gimme switched to biodegradable coffee bags, which can be composted.
