Our coffee journey
Our coffee journey began in 2019. I started to become interested in coffee when the rather inexpensive coffee maker I was using was doing a poor job of wetting all the coffee grounds in the filter basket. I stirred the slurry to wet all the grounds and noticed a difference in the taste of the coffee from the times when I hadn't stirred the coffee. I found the difference in taste interesting, so I began experimenting with coffee.
From Kitchen Brews to Craft Roasting
Pourovers of various types became an everyday occurance, usually one in the morning before work, and one in the evening around supper time. Pourovers are still a staple in my daily routine (although I enjoy many different brew methods). About a year after the run in with the coffee maker, I began roasting coffee for my wife (Kendra) and myself (Todd), family, and a friend or two on a small 400 gram Kaldi drum roaster, using the Artisan software to log my roasts. In 2023 we purchased a 1 kilo Mill City roaster, dived into learning the intricacies of coffee roasting, and began selling coffee. Now we are applying craft to coffee with the same enthusiasm with which we started into the coffee journey
This Is Us
All in all, we love the connection to other people that coffee allows us, and besides just loving coffee, it's one of the main reasons we are in the coffee industry.
