The business publishes the price paid for each coffee, and for direct purchases also the costs of getting it from origin to the roastery, including milling, exporting and shipping. One long standing partner is Collective Bean, run by Cynthia and Alberto in Peru.
Coffee is roasted on a Giesen W15A drum roaster. The range includes house espressos, rotating single origin coffees, and a Colombian Caña decaf processed using the sugarcane based decaffeination method, available as a subscription.
A wholesale service offers bespoke blends, equipment sourcing and support, and staff training for cafes and other businesses.
