“Coffee is a language in itself.” – Jackie Chan
Robert Kiarsis
Owner, Roaster
My passion led me to discover the fresher the coffee, the better it tasted! Fairly simple stuff, really, if you think about it. I decided to get it as fresh as possible and roast it myself. After many wonderful roasts, I have developed a method that produces a consistent, desirable product. We are located in Arvada, Colorado at 5,550 feet in elevation. With over 300 days of sunlight, finding a nice day to roast is never a problem.

Owner
Coffee has been in my life since I was 5 years old and my grandpa gave me a cup (much to my mother’s disagreement). Living in Seattle for two years helped develop my palate and doing “cuppings” with Robert has refined my palate to a new level where I can now define flavors like cocoa to floral hints and detect brightness, body and aftertastes with precision. I help out with the website and the books as well as packing and shipping orders.

Roasted Beans
We specialize in hand-roasted craft coffee beans with roasts ranging from light roasts with a brighter flavor to dark roasts with a fuller body and flavor.
Our Process
Our process has evolved from a frying pan to a drum Roasted. Beans are roasted until their first "crack" and pulled from the drum at specific times. The beans are cooled immediately after roasting to prevent over-roasting.
Coffee Regions
Our specialty beans come from Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Sumatra. Each roast is unique in how the bean is processed and other factors such as weather, region, and altitude.
