In a bean shell
Coffee is a commodity. It is artisanal. The production, processing, and preparation of coffee is a precise scientific procedure and an art form. To its lovers, coffee rituals are sacred. For the coffee producers, it is a source of income and pride.
But more than anything - coffee connects people.
Coffee is what connected us - foodies with a taste for gastronomy, scientists and makers. Artists and engineers. All of us, together. Pushing the limit of what's possible to bring you the pure, the fresh, the fair, the prosperous. Or, in one word: the answer.
