On Roasting Slow When The City Is Fast
Three minutes saved in a roast is three minutes stolen from the bean. Notes from our roastery.

We roast in 8 kg batches. We do not apologise for it.
Why slow matters
The bean has been growing for two years. The least we can do is listen to it for twelve minutes.
A fast roast is a roast that flinches.
What we look for
- First crack timing
- Development time ratio
- The colour of the bean two seconds before it speaks back
If you want to visit our roastery, come say hi.
