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.
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. At this point we have moved on to roasting on a 3 kilo Mill City, and are applying craft to coffee with the same enthusiasm with which we started into the coffee journey.
A Note...
In a world of confusing coffee terms and certifications, bold claims by roasters, and where very few things can be objectively proven we strive to be a straight forward, honest, service driven coffee business. We're here to be a relatable, approachable, down-to-earth roaster. Any questions you have, just reach out! Of course we can't guarantee an answer, but we will do our best to answer it and always love to hear your questions!
