Elevating its 73-year reputation as “the ultimate shopping experience,” Gelson’s is excited to announce the launch of its ultra-premium Epicure Coffee Series through a collaboration with Go Get Em Tiger, the acclaimed Los Angeles specialty roaster and café group. The four initial 12-oz. whole bean coffees in the elite series will be available now at all 28 Gelson’s stores across Southern California.

The highest tier of its customer rewards program, Epicure is also the name of Gelson’s top-of-the-line Epicure Wine Series, introduced in 2022, which has gone on to earn 90+ scores from Wine Enthusiast for the 2019 Single Vineyard Epicure Series Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2020 Single Vineyard Epicure Series Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon.

For true coffee connoisseurs, the Epicure Coffee Series debuts with four varieties, three single-origin and one blend, ranging from medium-light bodied to medium-dark bodied. Sourced from the best international producers and roasted locally in L.A. County.

The Gelson’s Epicure Coffee Series introduces this extraordinary collection that joins other premium coffee brands currently sold at Gelson’s, which include Blue Bottle, Intelligentsia, Peet’s, Philz Coffee and Stumptown Coffee Roasters, as well as close to two dozen ground and whole bean Gelson’s private-label coffees.

“If you’re making a list of quality-driven, Los Angeles-based brands, Gelson’s has to be right at the top. Its legacy of quality, community, and customer service inspires the work we do at Go Get Em Tiger. Our two companies coming together to take grocery coffee to the next level is an absolutely ideal collaboration, and we couldn't be more excited,” said Kyle Glanville, a former U.S. Barista Champion and founder/CEO of Go Get Em Tiger.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Go Get Em Tiger to launch our Epicure Coffee Series,” stated Gelson’s Vice President of Center Store Rich Gillmore. “For our guests who truly enjoy and appreciate some of the best coffees in the world, we hope this will become a savored part of every day.”
