The roastery

Roasted close to home

Unlike pre-roasted beans that sit on shelves for months, we roast in small batches right here in Castle Rock, so there's fresh coffee ready when you order, or we roast specifically for your order.

Every batch runs through our Mill City MCR-1 drum roaster, with each profile tracked in RoastPATH and cupped before it ships. Scientific precision plus experience and intuition means a vibrant flavor and rich aroma in every cup, with lighter roasts that let each origin's notes shine through.
