ABOUT US

"QUALITY DOESN'T SHOW UP UNINVITED"
"We work in coffee because we believe it offers opportunities for two of the most rewarding experiences a person can have in life: self-improvement through the mastery of a skill, and fostering relationships with other people. Our aim is to source, roast, and brew the best coffee possible, while sharing that great coffee with great people. We break our aims down further into the three categories that constitute the pillars that make good coffee possible."
Sourcing: Our belief is that the hardest and most important work in the coffee supply chain is done by coffee producers. Like a chef could not create a decent meal with unripe and less than fresh ingredients, roasters, too, are useless without high quality green coffee. We rely on the good people who live where good coffee production is possible and we seek to pay them fair prices for their invaluable part in the supply chain.
Roasting: To us, roasting is a process of translation. To translate the work of the coffee producer into something consumable for the customer. But like any good translation, it must stay true to the authors original intent. So, we aim to minimize roast imbued flavors, and maximize those present already within the bean, just waiting for a door to be opened.
Brewing: Making coffee doesn’t have to be overly complicated and part of our aim is to offer coffees that lend themselves to simple brewing, not needing the stars to align to get a good cup. Still, mastering consistency and having knowledge of variables available to change can minimize the amount of wasted brews. We aim to give our baristas and customers the tools to enjoy as many cups as they brew.
Peter Daniel
Peter is our Head of Coffee Operations, which includes purchasing green coffee, roasting, and quality control at our cafes. Coffee became an obsession for him the first time he tried a coffee that tasted nothing like coffee at all, but more like a piece of fruit. He was amazed at how much a truly perfect cup of coffee can arrest your attention from the rest of the world and he has been seeking to bring that experience to others ever since.
