Last week our team cupped our current beans, lead by Mike from @green_coffeesupply , to make sure we are getting the most out of each bean.
A cupping is where freshly roasted and ground coffee is placed in a cup, hot water poured in, and the most natural way to brew coffee occurs. The coffee slowly falls to the bottom, allowing for all the aromas to come out.
One uses a spoon to quickly slurp the coffee and let your taste buds do the rest. It takes a pretty good nose and tongue to pick up on all the nuances, and then provide advice on how to better the roast.
It is so helpful to have our suppliers come in and taste what we are doing with the beans they bring in. All to make sure we can bring your the best possible coffee we can make.
Yours truly,
Coffee Guy

We official now! Our final signage came up and now you can see us from the road.
Stoked to bring our craft to a wider audience, and share some chats along the way.
We are a small batch artisanal coffee roasting team and are proud to be so.

Feeling welcomed and grateful at our new Roastery. Got to celebrate our first ever First Thursday down at @imhofffarm last week. The space turned into a winter wonderland. Fires on the go, a cozy market vibe and community all around.
Good and happy to be here.

Always got an eye on the pot o gold.
We have our ways and methods of roasting and a lot of the magic comes with a watchful eye. As we slowly see the green beans turn to golden brown, we know just the right time to let em out and hear that sensational snap crackle pop!
Yours truly,
Coffee Guy

Our new factory space feeling good.
As we continuously perfect our House Blend, we are offering a variety of single origins to taste and to buy. Often, these single origins are found in our blends, but it is truly special to taste each region on their own.
Make sure to look out for the white sticker on the bags to see where each bean is from. Our team is full of fun facts too, so don't be shy to ask questions.
Pop in tomorrow for our first ever First Thursday down at @imhofffarm
Happy roasting!

We're roasting most days, but vibing everyday.
If you want to get a glimpse at the action, come down early for a squiz. We like getting going early, so our beans have time to cool and soak up all their flavour.
Stoked and grateful to be here.
Yours truly,
Coffee Guy

Perfectly framed and resting on its perch.
First few rounds of roasting feeling good in the new zone. We love winter for many reasons, but recently we love the warmth of the roaster on these colder days.
New location 📍 - Imhoff Farm, Kommetjie 7am - 5pm.
Monday - Sunday

You may have noticed a slight change of scenery at the Roastery.
Over the last month we have slowly been creating our new home located @imhofffarm . A dream come true for us to call this space home for our roaster and us. We love being closer to the sea, and amongst all the other local traders of the Imhoff farm. Feeling very much like home and we are stoked!
We are here seven days a week from 7am - 5pm, so pop in for a tour and flat white. We have some new things on the roast and on the grind, an epic and calm atmosphere with good people all around.
Much love and see you soon

The golden liquid we all know and love.
We really appreciate a good espresso. The right bean, the right grind and the right time.
This is often how we test our quality of blends, by pouring a few espresso's and taste testing and getting the right grind consistency.
In so many cases, the beans are not used to their full potential because of grinders or machines.
This is why we like to be hands on with our clients who run cafe's and check in on their machines to make sure everyone is pulling the best espresso possible.
