‘Roasting coffee is like cooking a steak’ is a cliché that is often used in the coffee community. What this means is that indicators such as light, medium and dark roast mean very little if the interior of the coffee bean has not been ‘cooked’ all the way through during the roasting process. Often, if First crack is reached via fast application of heat without sufficient development, the coffee will look ‘medium’ but taste grassy and hay like. If you roast the coffee too slowly, the coffee will taste ‘baked’ i.e no vibrancy and no sweetness.

Roasting coffee is a process of using science and technology, trial, tasting and sensory evaluation to finalize what you believe tastes best in a given coffee.

We’ve settled on the 18th of February as the new date for the event, Sri Lankan Coffee From Seed To Shot.

Ticket giveaways will be on everyday starting today, so stay focussed on our ‘gram game.

We will be having a savoury & sweet food menu incorporating coffee as an ingredient, the beverages will feature coffee in cold brew, bitters and iced pour over.

Apologies for the late change but we promise the wait will be worth it. We will announce the exact date of the event and recommence our giveaways soon.

Thank you for your understanding!

We are getting deep into selective picking today. Did you know that coffee is a fruit? These fruits, like any other fruit, have to be picked at the correct ripeness for the best taste. Think of the taste of a green unripe mango vs an orange/yellow ripe mango vs brown/black overripe mango…. This is another topic we’ll be covering in detail at our .coffeefestival event in partnership with and .
