The beans

Four origins, gently roasted

Green coffee sourced from growers we know by name, roasted in 12-kilo batches and rested for a week before it reaches your grinder. Here's what's on the bench right now.

The ritual

Good coffee is mostly patience

Three unhurried minutes at the counter. Here's the pour we teach every new barista — bloom, build, and let it draw down.

iThe bloom0:00 – 0:45

Pour twice the coffee's weight in water and stop. Fresh beans puff up and breathe out CO₂ — a slow, mushrooming rise. Give it forty-five seconds; this is where evenness begins.

iiThe first pours0:45 – 1:30

Now build in slow spirals from the centre out, keeping the bed level and the water bright. Two or three gentle pours bring you up to full weight without ever drowning the grounds.

iiiThe drawdown1:30 – 2:45

Hands off. Let gravity draw the water through and the bed settle flat and even. A clean, syrupy stream in the carafe — and a cup that tastes like the fruit it came from.

Never run out

Fresh beans, through your letterbox

Pick a rhythm and a roast. We grind-to-order (or leave them whole), roast the morning we post, and slip the bag through the door in a letterbox-friendly pack.
