One roast a week

Every bag on the shelf and every shot on the bar comes from a Tuesday roast. Here is where this week stands.

Roasting today

Tue · today Roast Twelve kilos, in the back room from 6am. The whole block smells of it.
Wed Rest Fresh coffee holds too much gas to brew evenly, so it sits sealed.
Thu Bag We weigh out the shelf bags and every hold for the week.
Fri Cup Open cupping at 4pm. Taste the new lots with us. It's free.
Sat On bar Day four off roast. The new espresso goes in the hopper.
Sun On bar Short day, 8am to 3pm.
Mon On bar Last bags from the week before go half price.
