Ethiopia Guji · elevation 2,200 m · Natural

Roasted until it
finds its color

Grown slowly at 2,200 m, this green coffee is dense. That is why we heated the drum to 212℃. Scroll down to roast this one bean for 10 minutes.

The roast story: how one green bean of Ethiopia Guji becomes roasted coffee

  1. 0:00Charge 212℃

    We pour the green coffee into the preheated drum and start the clock. The higher and slower a coffee grows, the denser it is, and the hotter we start.

  2. 1:15Turning point 92℃

    As the cool beans soak up the drum’s heat, the probe falls to 92℃. It bottoms out here and starts to climb again.

  3. 4:16Yellowing 150℃

    As the water leaves, pale green turns to straw and then to yellow. The grassy smell fades and the room starts to smell like baking bread.

  4. 8:12First crack 196℃

    Pop. Steam bursts inside the bean, the seam splits, and the chaff flies off. From here on, seconds change the taste.

  5. 9:50Drop 204℃

    We give it 1 min 38 sec past first crack and drop it once dark chocolate settles under the blueberry. Its roast color is 76.

  6. Cooling

    Arms sweep the beans around the cooling tray while air draws the heat out. Stopping here keeps the leftover heat from roasting them any further.

Each bar starts at the green coffee line at the top and runs down to the roast color we dropped that coffee at. A longer bar means a deeper, darker roast, and its end meets the same color on the roast color scale. Hover over or tap a bar to see that coffee.

The roastery and the roaster

One drum,
twice a week

We started in spring 2019 with one 15 kg drum roaster in a roastery at the foot of Bukhansan. We still roast every coffee we sell in that drum, setting each roast to the elevation it grew at.

We roast on Mondays and Thursdays from 09:00.
