Best coffee I’ve had in Colorado. People who work there are nice. Tons of flavor selections I wish I could have ordered all of them, came here 4 times while visiting the area! Brilliant all around.

Review №2

Formerly under the name of Inertia Coffee is now known as Corter Coffee Roasters. The signage outside will say Corter Coffee Roasters but on Yelp, you’ll find it as Inertia Coffee. As you open the door upon entering, you get a nice woof of coffee smell because they roast their own coffee here. The concept here is super cute and scientific. If you stay there, your coffee will be served out of a beaker.This was our second coffee stop in one day so this time I got an iced decaf honey lavender latte. Even though it’s decaf, it still had the strong bold flavors and reminded me of Vietnamese coffee. It was even topped with a hint of lavender color whip cream!

Liana was amazing and so helpful! It was our first time coming in and we are from out of town so we relied on her opinion of what we should get! She also took the time to help us choose coffee beans to take home too! Grace was also helpful and very sweet checking us out. Definitely stopping by again the next time I’m in the area!

Just discovered this gem a week ago. Superb coffee roaster with on site roaster and amazing espresso and coffee. They have different coffee to please any palate. If you love fresh, smooth, and perfectly roasted espresso this is the place! Puts chain coffee to shame.

So glad to have stopped in here, just down the road from Seven Falls. The coffee is delicious, and the cinnamon rolls they get from a local bakery are amazing. They walked me through all of their beans, which they roast themselves. The roaster and employees are incredibly friendly and conversational. This is a really fun place and I’ll definitely be back when I can.

Review №24

A science themed coffee shop owned by a couple that loves science & coffee! Marvel at the cleverness behind the names of the drinks but prepare yourself for the love & expertise behind every beaker of coffee. Coffee is roasted in-house and the varieties available range from Mexico, Ethiopia, India, Guatemala, Brazil and more. I loved this place.

Delicious beverages (in beakers) and banana bread. Very comfortable spot to study and grade assignments. Super friendly and professional service. Access to outlets and WiFi. Not too busy. Veteran-owned, local business.

This is a very creative little place with a little bit of everything you need. Relax with friends, enjoy some great coffee, or just enjoy the artistic touches and design. Wi-Fi is available, so it is a great place to do some work. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their bean selection is top of the line and you can even take some home. Most of all the prices are reasonable. I highly recomend Inertia Coffee for a litlle date, work, or meeting place!

Love this place! We have been checking out the area but we are from Seattle, so we are serious about coffee. This place is also serious about coffee but very accessible to anyone. They do pour overs with a V60 and a bloom :) They have some great speciality coffee drinks with syrups and some sugar free options. Its a great atmosphere with friendly people working there. They let us bring in our dog and they had treats and whipped cream for her. We loved the Mexican coffee roast and bought a bag of beans. Keep this local place alive! We are going to miss it!

So adorable coffee served in beakers. They roast their own beans and all of the items are sciencey. Super adorable layout. Comfy couches. Cute trivia. They sell bags of their coffee one of which is called archimedes crown (citrus, floral, earthy) so yummy.

Love science? Love custom roasted coffee from around the world? This is the coffee shop for you. This veteran owned local coffee shop is a refreshing take on the modern coffee shop trend. Done in orders are served in laboratory glassware and Easter eggs are stashed from ceiling to floor. The coffee is phenomenal ( I had the Brazil as and Americano today) and the service is fast and friendly. If you live in CS or are just passing through, this is a destination stop!

Found a coffee roaster/ coffee shop that I love! The owner, a veteran, has created a very cool spot with its own unique vibe. I look forward to hanging out here again, in the near future, to drink more excellent coffee and play games. A place for The Brains out there to go drink coffee and take over the world.

Great atmosphere and really friendly staff! This place is a diamond in the rough. The entire shop is science-themed, including drink names like Caramel Sagan. The drinks are served in science beakers and taste great. Theres also a reward system and the entire place is veteran owned. Definitely worth a stop by

I stopped by around 10:30am on a Saturday. I stood at the counter for about 4 minutes without anyone acknowledging my presence despite two employees being present (one making a coffee for someone else and one arranging shelves). One of the employees was not wearing a mask at all, which was uncomfortable. The coffee choices sound more exciting on the menu than they are in reality, but overall it was decent coffee.

Corner Coffee Roasters is still the same as when it was Inertia, which is just awesome. The recipes for the unique Coffees and the science pums are still as great as they always have been. The Corters who bought the business are really kind and I have to say Im still comfortable as this is one of my preferred Coffee spots

Review №55

Legit coffeehouse, not just shop. They create their own drinks, no copy cats, roast their own beans and have their own clever quirky eclectic scientific vibe. Drinks and service are exceptional. I ordered the Large Hadron Coll-Cider (early grey tea, cider & cranberry) came in a beaker!!!!! Ahhhh! Made my day😄😂🧐

Review №56

Amazing coffee by a passionate couple.In an unassuming strip mall sits a coffee shop devoted to crafting excellent drink and bolstering a community. My girlfriend and I spent the better part of an hour talking to the couple that owns the shop. The coffee was fresh and well crafted. They roast their beans on premise and only keep it for five days. And at a price point comparable to a certain Seattle based company, Inertia’s coffee is a steal. Will definitely be ordering some to be delivered to Austin. Sadly we did not catch the names of the owners but had a great time talking to them. Strongly suggest anyone looking for exceptional coffee, silly science jokes, or a good conversation to stop by.-Roger

So the coffee here is great! 5 stars there - plus I love the science theme and creative drinks. However, I’m just a little bummed about their lack of approach to the pandemic. :/ Been here three times and I have yet to see an employee wear a mask while they made drinks. Unwrapped straws are out on the counter in a cup for customers to grab (and it’s VERY HARD to only touch one straw, I tried). It would be super easy (and much more sanitary) to put the straws behind the counter and have the barista give them out with drinks (since they are regularly washing their hands vs customers coming in off the streets). And lastly, this particular day it seemed a few of tables needed to be wiped off from the night before. The one we sat at was cleared off but very clearly had smudges and grime from the day before, which was off putting. It was early so maybe they hadn’t gotten to it yet, but it’s these little things that make a difference during this time and gives customers peace of mind.I’m still giving them 4 stars because the coffee is good and I can tell they are good people — but I will be holding off returning for now. However, I would not hesitate to come back (daily!) if they made some small changes for the benefit of their community.

I have been going here a little over a year now on the recommendation of my doctor. I love their coffee, the clever science puns and jokes are great, and I love supporting a local business that is owned by veterans. The shop is always very clean, and the baristas are always attentive right when I enter the shop, unless they are super busy, which is understandable. I try to bring everyone I know here whenever I get the chance.

I stop into this store at least monthly and am always so pleased with the friendly staff, the excellent coffee, and the super relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes I just get a medium Americano and work for 2 hours. No one bugs me. It feels a bit like (healthy) family. (Oh snap. Was that my outside voice?)

Review №62

It was exceptional. They really know their coffee - thats the main thing, as they roast their coffee in the building in small batches themselves, and only as needed, so its always fresh. Second, they have a super-fun science-nerdy vibe that I personally really enjoyed. Third, the owners were on site and were super-friendly and nice. Ill be going back soon. You should try it yourself. 😊

Love this place. Great place to grab coffee and sit down to do some work (Good WiFi). Staff is friendly and fast. They are doing an awesome job while staying open during the pandemic. They always wear their masks when taking orders/ making drinks. Every time I’m here they are wiping down the tables, sweeping, mopping and bathrooms are always clean.

Review №83

Long have I scoured this rocky wasteland in search of the perfect blend of bean juice to satiate my caffeine dreams. Until now, my journey was in vain. However, much like inertia itself, my fondness for their pour over coffee could not be stopped once it was in motion. In a vacuum of flavor, their Rwanda blend was the second body of attraction that sent my heart into orbit. Now, all they do is dance among one another in perfect harmony. Thank you, Inertia coffee.
