Ethnosphere Coffee
8100 Sego Ct NW, Albuquerque, NM
Crema's Take
“This roastery has earned serious devotion from Albuquerque coffee lovers who appreciate their commitment to quality without pretension—you can customize your roast level and get same-day delivery of impeccably fresh whole beans at prices that won't break the bank. Will and the team consistently nail the fundamentals across traditional espresso drinks and pour-overs, but their real strength is their subscription service, which delivers a rotating selection of single-origin beans that perform beautifully whether you're brewing an americano or dialing in a pour-over at home. It's the kind of place that feels like a genuine neighborhood staple rather than a specialty coffee flex.”

I started a monthly subscription 4 months ago. I get 12oz of whole beans every month, which is perfect for me to make a handful of americanos every week. I have absolutely loved the quality of this coffee. Each month I recieve a bag at my front door, which seems to be delivered directly from subterra. That kind of direct service gives a small business local touch that it is hard to find elsewhere. Probably what impressed me the most is when I needed to change the dates of my delivery, I was able to email directly to subterra and they responded right away customizing my delivery schedule to work around my work travel. This kind of excellent service is clearly above and beyond. Thank you!
Just started my monthly subscription and loving it. I knew it would be good when the menu gave the option to select roast level. Whole beans, (true) light roast, fresh af, incredible bloom when doing a pour over. I also seriously appreciate the full pound bags in these days of shrinkflation. Can't go wrong with free local delivery either. Highly recommend 👌
Will and the team have been producing consistently delicious coffee in Albuquerque for a few years now. Same day/next day delivery in the city and super reasonable prices for boutique coffees. Highly recommend. I do not think they have a coffee shop, my experience is they are roasters who deliver for home use.
Subterra has been my favorite local roaster for a while now. They always have a variety of different beans and different roasts. Even decaf for those in the no caffeine boat! Whole bean or ground to your preference. I've lost track of all the coffees I've tried from here, and I've never had a bad cup. They also do free same or next day local delivery for orders over $30. That level of convenience is hard to beat. Love these guys.
Subterra has been my go-to for coffee beans in Albuquerque for a couple of years now. The quality is reliably good, the prices are affordable compared to some of the other premium roasters in the city, and the selection is big enough to cover all the major styles. I find the light roasts especially delicious, and my partner really enjoys their darker beans for lattes. Free delivery for orders in the Albuquerque area is such a huge plus too; in fact, their customer service overall is fantastic. I've only ever had one mix-up with an order, but Will was super responsive and kind in getting it sorted out. I can't recommend Subterra enough.
