We started in 2019 with a second-hand twelve-kilo drum, a rented unit with questionable wiring, and a list of four cafes who had agreed to try a bag.
The first two years
Most of it was spent learning what we did not know. We roasted too dark for six months because it hid our mistakes, then too light for three because we overcorrected, and eventually settled somewhere honest.
Where we are now
Eleven producers across four countries, a wholesale list of about thirty cafes, and the same drum. The wiring has been fixed.
