Who are we?

We are longtime Cowichan Valley residents who have delighted in all that the community has to offer an active family of four. After over 20 years in the retail coffee industry in Vancouver, most recently with Bean Around the World - Main & 20th, we craved more autonomy over the coffees we serve and decided to dedicate our full energy to the art of roasting. As much as ever, we are a family-run business. On either side of the counter and at both ends of the shipments, we like that these are neighbourly endeavours.

What's in there?

We roast on Diedrich IR-12 and tinker on a Huky 500T. We grind coffee on Mahlkonig, Baratza, and Porlex grinders, make espresso on a Rocket Mozzafiato and wander between a Moccamaster, a Chemex, an Aeropress, a Hario V60, and a Bialetti Mokapot at home. All served in cheery Acme & Co. mugs, Dudson standbys or keepsakes picked up on our travels.
