Alejandro Valiente runs Cafenor and has been a sourcing partner for those years; the team visited his mill in Metapán and nearby producers in February 2026. The coffee is roasted in San Francisco on a vintage German roaster, with almost all of it sourced directly.
In 2013 the owners bought the San Francisco roaster De La Paz, and its blends are sold on the Four Barrel site. In October 2026 the single origins come from Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Honduras, and Kenya. The café is on Valencia Street. The Mill on Divisadero, a joint venture with Josey Baker Bread, has been closed since a fire on June 29, 2026; as of September 2026 it was rebuilding.
