How we roast

Why we roast with air, not a hot drum

Most coffee is roasted in a metal drum, where the beans tumble against a hot surface. Ours is roasted in moving hot air instead — the air itself lifts and turns the beans, so they never sit against hot metal. Three things come out of that.

• It heats evenly

  Every bean is surrounded by the same hot air, so the whole batch roasts at the same rate. Nothing scorches on one side while the inside is still underdone.

• The chaff blows clear

  As coffee roasts it sheds a papery skin called chaff. The airflow carries it straight out of the roaster instead of letting it scorch in with the beans — and burnt chaff is where a lot of ashy, bitter flavour comes from.

• It stops the moment it’s done

  The instant the roast hits the point we want, the heat cuts out and cool air keeps blowing. The beans come down fast instead of coasting on in their own heat and drifting past the roast we chose.

That’s a lot of why it tastes clean and round rather than sharp or ashy. It’s roasted fresh locally, in small batches, by a trusted air-roasting partner — and we taste what comes out.
