About the Cupla Twins
Identical twins Abigail Purdie and Bethany Heath are the duo behind Utah’s Cupla Coffee House. These sisters have created a niche in the food industry where the customer is family, the food is fuel, and the gourmet coffee is life.
The Meaning of Cupla
Cupla means “twin” in Irish Gaelic. Abby and Beth are twins, were born under the sign of the Gemini (twin), and are of Irish descent. This made “Cupla Coffee” the perfect name when the two decided to open their coffee shop.

Coffee FAQs
How to grind coffee beans?
There are two main styles of coffee grinding; burr and or blade. While blade grinders work fine, a burr grinder creates a more consistent grind which will allow for a more robust flavor extraction.
How long do coffee beans last?
To ensure superb quality, coffee beans should be used within 1 or 2 months of their roast date. As long as the coffee is kept whole bean in an airtight, opaque container, you’ll be able to enjoy that coffee of yours for weeks after you’ve purchased it!
How do I store coffee beans?
For optimal freshness store your coffee in an airtight, opaque container and only grind as needed. Coffee can stay fresh longer if it is kept as whole beans.
How do you roast your coffee?
Situated on the Wasatch Front, our high-altitude home offers a unique setting for a distinctive flavor profile. We take great pride in creating a delicious product roasted on a Mill City Coffee Roaster MCR-15 day in and day out. When coffee is roasted at higher elevations, oxygen and humidity are lower, so the beans respond differently when external temperatures are introduced. This creates a rich, smooth, robust flavor profile you can’t otherwise get!
Where can I buy coffee beans?
Right here on our website and delivered straight to your doorstep! Choose from our delicious house blends or our rotating single-origin varieties. Buy one bag today or subscribe to regular delivery of coffee beans weekly or monthly.
How do I grind coffee for cold brew?
Because the brewing time for cold brew is longer than other brewing methods (approximately 24 hours), you’ll want your coffee grinds to be more coarse so they don’t produce an over-extracted bitter-tasting brew. Slight variations in grind can produce slightly different flavors, so try a few different batches with grind variations to find your perfect cold brew recipe!
Can you use espresso beans for drip coffee?
Of course! There are no rules about which coffee roast or blend should be used for different brewing methods. Experiment and find out what you like better: an espresso roast for your house drip or a lighter roast as a French press? It’s all up to you.
How do I grind coffee for a Keurig?
Slightly finer than you would grind for your home coffee brewer but not as fine as for your home espresso machine.
Can you freeze coffee beans?
You can, but it does nothing to maintain the freshness of your coffee. You’re not gaining any more “shelf life” from your beans by freezing them, so there’s no meaningful use for putting them in the freezer.
Where does coffee grow best?
In humid and warmer climates. Most coffee is grown along the equator in the Caribbean, Africa, Middle East, Asia, North, South, and Central Americas.
How do I grind coffee for French press?
However you’d like! Many use a typical coffee grind purchased from the grocery store or a finer grind customary for a pour-over. The French press is versatile and forgiving as a brewing method. Try a few different grinds and see what you prefer.
How is high-altitude coffee different?
Oxygen and humidity levels are lower when coffee is roasted at higher elevations. The beans respond differently when external temperatures are introduced, giving them a unique flavor. Coffee beans would taste equally different if you roasted them at a lower elevation, like a beach.
Which roast has the most caffeine?
In theory, the lighter the roast, the more caffeine. This variance is ever so slight, though—caffeine is only minimally affected by “cooking” it out through the roasting process. What contributes more to the caffeine levels is the bean itself. Robusta varieties contain almost 3% more caffeine than Arabica varieties.
