Roastery
We roast in small batches, cup every one, and only sell what we'd pour for ourselves. Two single-origin coffees on rotation right now — always fresh, always honest about where they came from.

Uganda · Mount Elgon, Bugisu
Uganda Bugiso
Red apple, black tea, a brush of brown spice. Bright and clean with real structure — this is the one for pour-over.

How We Roast
Read The Full Story
From green bean to first crack
01
Green Intake
Every batch starts as green coffee, sourced by region, altitude and process — never a mystery blend. We check moisture and density before it ever sees heat.
02
Preheat
The drum comes up to temperature slow and steady, so beans heat evenly instead of scorching on the outside before the inside catches up.
03
First Crack
Sugars caramelise and the beans crack audibly — the Maillard reaction doing its work. This is where real flavour starts forming.
04
Development
The minutes after first crack decide everything: pulled early for brightness and acidity, or run longer for body and sweetness.
05
Cool & Rest
Beans are cooled fast to lock the roast in, then rested for a few days before we let them ship. Coffee needs to breathe before it's ready to brew.
Gear We Stand Behind
Brew it properly at home
Drip Pot
A simple ceramic drip pot built for control — slow, even pours that let a natural like the Cerrado show its full sweetness.
Price range: R10,00 through R20,00
Pour-Over Kettle
A gooseneck kettle for the precision pour-over demands — a steady, controllable flow, no glugging, no scorched grounds.
Price range: R10,00 through R30,00
What We Won't Compromise On
Traceable, not mysterious
We buy coffee we can name the farm, altitude and process for. If we can't tell you where it came from, we don't sell it.
Tasted every batch
Nothing leaves the roastery without being cupped first. If a batch doesn't taste right, it doesn't go out under our name.
Fresh over shelf life
We roast to order in small runs instead of stockpiling bags, so what you get was roasted for you, not a warehouse.
