Before it leaves

Ground to order, or not at all

Every bag is roasted whole and stays that way until someone buys it.

  • Whole bean

    What we’d pick. Grind it the morning you drink it.

  • Espresso

    Fine. Dialed for a 9-bar machine.

  • Moka pot

    A step coarser than espresso.

  • Aeropress

    Medium-fine, for a two-minute steep.

  • Pour-over

    Medium. V60, Kalita, or a cone and some patience.

  • Drip

    Medium-coarse, for a home batch brewer.

  • French press

    Coarse. Nothing that will slip the mesh.

  • Cold brew

    The coarsest we do. Built for a long, cold steep.

How it’s bagged

  • 10 & 12 oz bags

    The shelf. Roasted weekly, dated on the base.

  • 2 lb

    For an office, or a serious habit. Ask at the bar.

  • Standing order

    Same bag, same week, every month. Cancel by replying.

Not sure what to ask for? Tell us the machine and we’ll set it.

At the bar

Taste it before you buy a bag

Everything on the shelf can be pulled as a shot or brewed on the cone.

  • A shot pulling from the portafilter
  • Three cones brewing under a gooseneck kettle
  • Drinking chocolate under cream and shaved chocolate
  • Butter croissants fresh off the board

Espresso

Pulled on the house blend unless the shelf says otherwise.

  • Espresso

    Two ounces of the seasonal blend. Chocolate, dried cherry, a long finish.

    $3.00

  • Macchiato

    The same shot, marked with a spoonful of milk. Nothing more.

    $3.50

  • CortadoAsk for it

    Equal parts espresso and steamed milk, served in glass so you can see it.

    $4.00

  • Cappuccino

    Six ounces, wet, with a proper cap of foam. Not a small latte.

    $4.50

  • Latte

    Twelve ounces of silk. Oat, whole, or nothing at all.

    $5.00

  • Mocha

    Single-origin Peruvian cocoa, melted into the shot rather than stirred in after.

    $5.50

Filter

The best way to taste a lot before you commit to a bag of it.

  • Batch Brew

    Whatever is on the shelf this week, brewed on the hour and held for thirty minutes. No longer.

    $3.50

  • Pour-OverAsk for it

    Your pick of the bench, ground to order. Give us four minutes.

    $6.00

  • Siphon

    Vacuum-brewed at the bar. Ten minutes, a small spectacle, and the cleanest cup we make.

    $7.00

  • Cold Brew

    Sixteen hours at cellar temperature. Bright rather than syrupy.

    $4.50

  • Cold Brew Tonic

    Over ice with tonic and a wide strip of orange peel. Summer only.

    $5.50

  • Japanese Iced

    Brewed hot straight onto ice, so it keeps the aromatics a long cold steep flattens.

    $5.00

Not Coffee

For the mornings when it isn’t coffee you want.

  • House Chai

    Steeped in-house each morning — cardamom, clove, black pepper, far less sugar than you expect.

    $5.00

  • Matcha

    Ceremonial grade from Uji, whisked to order. Grassy and sweet, never bitter.

    $5.50

  • Drinking Chocolate

    Thick enough to coat the spoon. A pinch of salt.

    $5.00

  • Leaf Tea

    Four on rotation, loose, in a pot. Ask what’s open.

    $4.00

Food

Baked down the street and delivered at six.

  • Butter CroissantAsk for it

    Three days of folding, sixty-four layers, and a great deal of butter.

    $4.50

  • Thick-Cut Toast

    Country loaf, cut at an inch. Cultured butter and house preserve, or olive oil and salt.

    $6.00

  • Rye Chocolate Cookie

    Dark rye, brown butter, flaked salt. Somewhere between a cookie and a brownie.

    $4.00

  • Seasonal Tart

    Whatever the market had. Right now: quince and almond.

    $5.50

Sacks of green coffee on the floor, labelled by origin

Just landed

Sixty bags, and then it’s finished

A single day lot out of Kirinyaga, fermented forty-eight hours and dried on raised beds. The best coffee to come through all year.
