The roaster
Roasted by Design.
“Coffee is food. A bean is a seed, and roasting is cooking.”
— Franklin
Roasted by Design means giving the seed the respect it deserves, after a farmer put all their effort and passion into growing it. When I roast, I study the varietal and the process to design a roast profile that brings out the coffee’s best expression. Never burned to hide the bean, but roasted to elevate it.
Every week I taste coffees from all over the world at the cupping table. I want you to feel what I feel there: the aromas, the sweetness, the fruit, in one warm cup. Try it black first. Whatever you add covers what the land gave it.
