Save Our Wolves - Dark Roast
Save Our Wolves - Dark Roast
This coffee has been retired.
Our Save Our Wolves Dark Roast has stood for more than flavor—it’s been a way to protect wolves and support wildlife conservation through every cup. As part of our product simplification, this roast is no longer available.
For a similar deep, satisfying roast, we recommend:
Mendocino Vienna: A smooth, full-bodied dark roast inspired by the rugged beauty of our coastal home—perfect for fans of deep, rich coffee with a mellow finish.
Songbird Colombian: A medium-dark roast that supports bird habitat conservation, offering a clean, balanced cup with just the right amount of complexity. It’s part of our beloved Songbird Coffee program, where every sip supports biodiversity.
With either of these blends, you’re continuing the tradition of coffee with purpose. Thank you for standing with us—and for the wolves—on this journey of evolution and impact.
If you're looking to continue supporting Defenders of Wildlife directly, we encourage you to shop their official store or donate at:

Customer Review
Coffee to Water Ratio
Using the correct amount of coffee will ensure that your coffee is brewed to strength, without over-extracting or under-extracting the coffee to compensate for an inappropriate dose. We recommend 2 grams of coffee for every fluid ounce of water used to brew. Weighing coffee is the most accurate way to measure the appropriate dose. If a scale is not available, we recommend 2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee for every 5 ounces of water used to brew.
Grind Size
Producing the correct particle size in ground coffee is one of the most important steps in coffee brewing. In general, a finer grind will produce a more intense brew and a coarser grind will produce a less intense brew. At the same time, a grind that is too fine will produce an over-extracted, astringent brew, and a grind that is too coarse will produce a weak, under-extracted brew lacking flavor. In pour-over methods, grind size also affects the rate of extraction, as water will pass more slowly through a finer grind, and more quickly through a coarser grind. We strongly recommend burr grinders over blade grinders.
Water Temperature and Quality
Water temperature dramatically affects the extraction of coffee’s flavor during brewing. We recommend brewing with water at 200-202° Fahrenheit for best results. Using fresh, clean, chlorine-free water is essential.
