CRAFT DARK-ROAST · EST. 2019

ROASTED IN FIRE.

We pull our beans to the edge of dark and hold them there. Big body, low acid, a finish that lingers like woodsmoke. This is coffee with a backbone.

OUR FIRE

WE CHASE
THE DARK.

Most roasters flinch before the second crack. We don't. We chase the beans deep into the dark, where the sugars caramelize, the oils rise, and the cup turns to bittersweet and bold. It takes nerve. It takes a steady hand on the drum.

Every batch comes off a cast-iron drum roaster we've run by feel for over a decade — ear to the crack, eye on the glow. No automation, no shortcuts. Just fire, time, and the patience to pull each lot at the exact moment it sings.

We name our roasts after the things that burn slow and last long. Oak. Cinder. Forge. Because good coffee, like a good fire, isn't loud. It's warm, and it stays with you.

THE LINEUP

FOUR WAYS
TO GO DARK.

Whole bean, roasted to order, shipped within forty-eight hours of the crack. 12 oz bags.

Interior of a warm industrial roastery café: exposed brick, oak counter, leather stools, brass fixtures, Edison lights

THE TAPROOM

PULL UP
A STOOL.

Brick walls, a thirty-foot oak counter, leather worn soft by a thousand elbows, and brass that's gone honey-gold with age. The roaster runs out back — so the whole room smells like the morning's first batch.

Come for a cortado, stay for the heat. We pour till seven.

THE CRAFT

TWELVE
MINUTES OF
NERVE.

From charge to drop, a dark roast lives or dies in about twelve minutes. We watch development like a hawk — listening for first crack, riding the curve into second, then pulling fast before the smoke turns bitter.

That window is everything. Too early and it's flat. Too late and it's ash. We've spent ten years learning to find the edge — and to hold the drum right there.
