Necessary Coffee

Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Introducing Necessary Coffee, a brand that redefines the coffee industry's approach to high-quality and accessible flavors.

Created by the team behind Passenger Coffee, Necessary was born out of a challenge - the desire to support a viable supply chain for coffee producers while appealing to a broad spectrum of coffee lovers.

The brand's ethos stems from the belief that specialty coffee is for everyone.

By carefully selecting beans that offer familiar flavors ideally suited to a more developed roast profile, Necessary ensures that coffee lovers can enjoy rich, balanced, and easy-drinking brews at an affordable price.

This approach allows them to pay an excellent fee to producers, highlighting the brand's commitment to a fairer supply chain.

Necessary Coffee shares the same high standards as Passenger; sourcing, green coffee preservation, roasting, production, quality control, and customer service, all under the badge of Bcorp certification.

Despite the shared operational philosophy, the two brands have distinct goals regarding the types of coffee they choose.

Necessary takes pride in offering coffees that align with the taste preferences of a broader group of consumers, aiming to bridge the gap between high-quality coffees and coffee drinkers who appreciate these accessible flavor profiles.

Did You Know? Necessary Coffee was launched by the same team behind Passenger Coffee, a well-known specialty coffee brand. Despite being a relatively young brand, Necessary has experienced rapid growth and is already being served in select cafes and restaurants, and can be found on many grocery store shelves​​.
