Franklin's Electric Elixir — Medium Roast Founding Flavors Coffee

Chocolate Covered Almonds, Maple Syrup & Citrus — The Spark of Freedom in Every Cup

Benjamin Franklin flew a kite in a lightning storm to prove electricity existed, negotiated the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War, invented bifocals, founded the first public library in America, and still found time to be the most charming man in any room he entered. The man was, by any reasonable measure, operating at a frequency the rest of us can only aspire to. Franklin's Electric Elixir is our tribute to that legendary energy — a medium roast that crackles with warmth, depth, and just enough surprise to remind you that genius and a great cup of coffee are not mutually exclusive.

The flavor opens with rich chocolate covered almond notes — indulgent, nutty, and deeply satisfying — before a wave of warm maple syrup sweetness rolls in like a Philadelphia winter evening by the fire. Then, just when you think you've got it figured out, a bright flash of citrus cuts through the finish like a bolt from a Leyden jar. Medium roast means you get the best of both worlds: the bean's natural character preserved, the roast's warmth fully developed, and a cup that's as crowd-pleasing as Franklin himself at a dinner party. Which, by all historical accounts, was very crowd-pleasing indeed.

As Franklin almost certainly never said but absolutely would have approved of: "An investment in a good coffee is an investment in yourself — and the returns are immediate, delicious, and require no kite." ☕ (Our words. His spirit. We're confident he'd agree.)

• Premium Arabica Beans: Sourced for quality and roasted to bring out the bean's natural warmth and the roast's full, satisfying depth.
• Versatile Brew Methods: Exceptional as a drip, pour-over, French press, or cold brew — Franklin's Elixir performs brilliantly under any conditions, just like its namesake.
• Patriot-Approved Packaging: Bold, liberty-themed packaging that commands attention on your counter and delivers on every promise it makes.

Care & Brewing Instructions

• Store Properly: Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from direct sunlight — Franklin understood the value of protecting good things from the elements.
• Grind Fresh: For peak flavor, grind just before brewing. Medium roasts shine with a medium grind for drip or pour-over, slightly coarser for French press.
• Brew Temperature: Use water between 195–205°F. The chocolate and maple notes bloom beautifully at the right temperature — don't rush genius.
