Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming Scott Rao to the Roastery. We’ve been working with Scott remotely over the past 6 months, so we were super stoked to have him onsite for the afternoon to take a deep dive into our roasting.

Lots of honest conversations, plenty of learning, and a clearer path for how we roast from here.

We set the bar high because we want to put the best possible coffee in your cup, and this was a big part of that journey.

And a big character building moment for Carley calmly making a pour over for Scott like it was just another Wednesday. No stress. None at all 😂☕️😬
