Fresh every Tuesday

Roast is one drum roaster, four farms and three rooms in Accra, and every bag leaves the week it was roasted.

Rooms, and a roastery

The heart of Roast

Three things we settled on in the first year and have not argued about since.

Quality first

Every batch is cupped on the morning it comes off the drum, and what fails never leaves the room.

Everybody is welcome

A chair, a glass of water and no hurry, whether you buy a bag today or just sit with a cup.

Bought fairly

Four growers, paid above the going rate, on a price we agree with them in front of the harvest.

Good beans. Better mornings.

Roast began as one drum roaster in a garage off Oxford Street and a list of forty people who wanted a bag each Friday. The list is longer now and the roaster is bigger, but the week still turns on the same Tuesday morning and the coffee still goes out the day it is bagged.

Roasted on Tuesday

Bagged the same afternoon and never sold past three weeks old.

Bought at the farm

Four growers, all of whom we have sat down with, all paid above the going rate.

Come and see where it happens

The roastery counter on Spintex Road opens on Saturday mornings, and there is always something in the cupping bowls.
