About
Perc Coffee roasts and retails out of Savannah, Georgia, where it has established itself as one of the more ambitious specialty operations in the American Southeast. The name is a deliberate nod to percolation—the mechanics of brewing—and that fixation on process is visible across the roaster's sourcing breadth and product range. Founding date and founder name are not confirmed in available sources.
Perc has grown into a multi-channel business with both physical cafe locations (evidenced by in-store gift cards and a distinct webstore offering) and a direct subscription program. The operation spans retail coffee, equipment, and coffee literature, positioning itself as a full-spectrum resource for home brewers and cafe regulars alike.
The current roasting lineup balances accessible blends—PERC UP and Old Skool—with traceable single origins, including a Decaf Colombia Huila and a Brazil Legender. Perc's archive reveals consistent coverage of the specialty circuit's marquee origins: multiple Ethiopia lots (Sasaba natural, Uraga, Niguse Nara, Reko), Guatemalan microlots from producers like Gerson Martinez (Gesha) and Finca San Rafael La Montaña, a Panama Enrique Pretel Gesha, Kenya Kiawamaruru, Rwanda Gitwe Site, and less common selections from Papua New Guinea's Wahgi Valley and Peru's El Paraiso. The roaster has also extended into an instant-coffee line, offering freeze-dried or microground versions of Ethiopia Natural, Brazil, and Decaf Colombia Huila—an increasingly common move among specialty roasters looking to reach travelers and office drinkers without compromising on traceable sourcing.

Coffee & Beans Review
No third-party press citations or awards were available at time of writing. Perc has not appeared in indexed coverage from publications such as Sprudge, Roast Magazine, or Coffee Review based on the sources provided.
Perc operates at least one cafe in Savannah with in-store retail distinct from the webstore, suggesting a full cafe environment rather than a roastery-only tasting room. The retail shelf leans toward the technically minded: the store stocks the Timemore Basic Mini hand grinder and carries Jonathan Gagné's The Physics of Filter Coffee, a data-dense manual popular with pour-over enthusiasts. Visitors can expect a filter-forward program alongside the roaster's blend and single-origin offerings. Online, Perc ships nationwide through its Shopify-based webstore with a three-month gift subscription option and bag sizes suited to both occasional buyers and regular home brewers.
