Last year we roasted over 50 TONNES of coffee beans! That's the equivalent of 2,500 full grown beavers - which we would never roast because they are adorable.

Nope! It's only about 250 square feet! We like to think we are the one of the smallest roasteries in the World at our volume level.

By FAR it's the latte with a whoppin' 30,784 sold in our cafe in the last year. People love'em. In the Summer our coffee slush is VERY popular and in the cooler months people can't resist the pumpkin spice and egg nog lattes.

Every dang day! Sure, it's for freshness, but coffee is actually at it's peak about a week or two after it's roasted. It needs some time to off-gas and settle down. Fresh coffee is still great though! With such a tiny space, we can't really keep a huge backstock of coffee anyway, so roasting daily works for us and YOU.

Honestly, it's just two words that sounded cool. A "smoking gun" is also a reference to evidence or proof, as in "the proof is in the beans!" Maybe it's also a subconscious X-Files reference. Who knows!?

Some of it! We work with a lot of small hold farmers and those designations can be too costly for small operations.

There's a lot more to this answer, but generally we focus on having a relationship with the farms we source from and relying on our import partners to ensure their practices are sustainable and their people are treated well.
