Our Story
It started with one borrowed roaster and a lot of burnt batches.
In 2017 we set up a tiny cast-iron drum roaster in a converted woodshop on the edge of town. The first dozen batches were honestly terrible — too dark, too uneven, too proud. But we kept pulling samples, kept tasting, and kept learning what each bean wanted to become.
Today we roast on a restored 1980s drum machine fired over cedar, working in 40-pound batches so we can taste every roast as it comes off the cooling tray. We pay our growers above-market, name the farms on every bag, and never sell a coffee we wouldn't drink black at 6 a.m.
