01 The drum

Everything is decided by heat and time.

  1. i

    Sorted whole

    Material arrives whole and is sorted by size before roasting, so a batch colours evenly rather than scorching at the edges.

  2. ii

    Roasted to colour

    Each batch is drum-roasted to a target colour and pulled by eye and smell. Roast logs are kept for every drum.

  3. iii

    Rested, then ground

    Roasted material rests before grinding. Grind is cut to the brew method the batch is destined for.

  4. iv

    Blended last

    Components are roasted separately and only brought together at the end, so one element can be adjusted without remaking the whole.

02 In the cup

Dark in the cup, bitter at the front and sweet underneath. A brew for the hours coffee doesn't suit.
