Why Baseline Is Our Favorite Everyday Coffee
Baseline is the coffee we come back to every day.
It is the one we reach for in the morning, the one we serve to guests, and the one we recommend when someone says, “I just want a really good cup of coffee.”
Developed with intention and refined over time, Baseline reflects the kind of coffee we believe people should be able to enjoy every single day: smooth, balanced, fresh roasted, and consistently satisfying.
If you are new to SilverStream Coffee Roasters, Baseline is one of the best places to start.
What Baseline Tastes Like
Baseline is smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy every day. It was crafted to be approachable without being boring, familiar without feeling flat, and flavorful without becoming overwhelming.
You may notice:
- Cocoa richness
- Caramel sweetness
- Subtle dried fruit notes
- A smooth, balanced finish
It is not too bold, not too bright, and not overly complicated. It is simply a clean, satisfying cup of coffee that works well across different brewing methods.

Why Baseline Works as an Everyday Coffee
Some coffees are fun to try once. Baseline was designed to be the coffee you can enjoy again and again.
It has enough character to taste special, but enough balance to work as a dependable everyday coffee. That is why we recommend it for home brewers, new coffee drinkers, offices, guests, and anyone who wants fresh roasted coffee that is easy to love.

What you know as Baseline is more than just our signature blend—it’s a personal benchmark and a standard we’ve zealously maintained for 20 years. It represents the flavor profile that defines who we are as a coffee company. The specific ratio and roast profile are proprietary—closely guarded secrets developed over the years through meticulous refinement.
IT'S PERSONAL
"Baseline Road in Boulder, Colorado traces the 40th parallel north—the line used as the surveying baseline when the Colorado Territory was formed in 1861. It served as a key geographic marker during westward expansion and ends at Chautauqua Park, where the plains meet the Rocky Mountains.
Growing up, I spent a lot of time hiking, climbing, and cycling in those mountains. For me, Baseline is a reference point and a reminder of the foundation everything is built on."
