Reserve your spot
before we launch
We're scouting America's best micro-batch coffee roasters — tiny operations most people will never hear about. A $5 refundable deposit makes you a founding member with first access when we launch.
We've already scouted roasters in
Coffee this good shouldn't be a secret
These are real roasters we've scouted. Under 500 followers each. Making some of the best coffee in America. Founding members get access first.
Katí Coffee
Founded by a former ExxonMobil engineer who left her 10-year career to roast coffee. "Katí" means "knowledge" in Lelemi. Woman-owned, immigrant-owned, roasting on a Probat machine since 2024.
Wavelength Coffee
All-electric roasting powered by solar panels. Coffee ships in 100% recyclable steel cans. Featured in Daily Coffee News' "26 New Roasters to Support in 2026."
DarkSide Coffee
Every order roasted fresh — zero pre-roasted inventory. Their signature blend was discovered during a Milwaukee-to-Chicago commute. Custom blend design available.
First Light Coffee
Founded by a former USAID humanitarian who spent a decade in international crisis response. 5% of profits go to World Central Kitchen. Featured in Daily Coffee News.
+ 6 more roasters in our pipeline across the US. Founding members see them all first.
We spent months tasting coffee at every small roaster we could find. What we discovered was humbling: some of the most extraordinary coffee in America is being made by people with fewer than 500 Instagram followers.
Mirian at Katí Coffee left a decade-long engineering career to roast single-origin beans in Georgetown, Texas. Jim and Deanna at Wavelength built a solar-powered, all-electric roastery in Massachusetts. Annie at First Light left USAID humanitarian work to roast coffee on the Chesapeake Bay.
These aren't hobbyists. They're artists. And almost nobody knows they exist. We're building Cup Scout to change that — and we're looking for 50 founding members who want first access.
Your $5 is a fully refundable deposit. No subscription, no commitment, no coffee ships until we launch. If you change your mind, email us and we refund you instantly.

What your $5 deposit gets you
Your deposit reserves your founding member spot. Here's exactly what that means.
First pick of every new roaster
When we add a new roaster, founding members order first. Before the public, before the waitlist. You're at the front of the line.
Founding member pricing — forever
Whatever we charge at launch, you pay less. Your rate is locked in permanently. It never goes up, even as we grow.
Free shipping on every order
No hidden fees, ever. When we launch, your coffee ships free every time. Founding members don't pay for delivery.
100% refundable, no questions asked
Changed your mind? Email us anytime before launch and get your $5 back instantly. Zero hassle, zero guilt.

Before you decide
What exactly does my $5 get me?
Your $5 is a fully refundable deposit that reserves one of 50 founding member spots. It is NOT a subscription and does NOT buy coffee. When we launch, founding members get first access to order, permanently discounted pricing, and free shipping on every delivery.
Why should I pay $5 for something that hasn't launched?
Because founding members get benefits nobody else will: first access to every new roaster we add, permanently locked-in pricing that never increases, and free shipping forever. The $5 holds your spot — and if you change your mind before launch, we refund it instantly. There's no risk.
Is my deposit refundable?
Yes, 100%. Email us anytime before launch and we refund your $5 in full. No questions asked, no hassle, no guilt. We process refunds the same day.
Will I be charged again after the $5?
No. This is a one-time deposit. You won't be charged again until you actively choose to subscribe after we launch. No recurring charges, no auto-renewals, no hidden fees.
When will Cup Scout launch?
We're finalizing partnerships with our first group of micro-batch roasters now. We don't have an exact date yet, but founding members will be the first to know — and the first to order.
What will the subscription cost at launch?
We haven't finalized pricing yet, but founding members will always pay less than the public price. Your founding member rate locks in permanently — it never goes up, even if we raise prices later.
Are these real roasters?
Yes. Every roaster on our list is a real, operating micro-batch coffee roaster that we've personally researched. Katí Coffee in Georgetown, TX. Wavelength Coffee in Shirley, MA. DarkSide Coffee in Milwaukee, WI. First Light Coffee in Deale, MD. And six more. These are real people making real coffee.
