What the roast?
As a style, I prefer to play within what many still call a medium roast spectrum. The word on the street is how ‘developed’ the roast is. The local Specialty Coffee scene has almost exclusively focused on very light roasts. And while I love these and offer some lighter roasts myself, the reality is most of our countrymen enjoy large quantities of milk in their drinks. In fact, I created my darker roast profile, The Pavement Special, for those who simply refuse the lighter side of life. But there is a middle ground, and I guess I like playing in that sandpit for now.
To keep things consistent and adaptable, I roast on a Genio 6kg roaster. It’s locally manufactured and comes with all the bells and whistles one can hope for, including bespoke software that ensures graphic real-time tracking of every critical element in the roasting process.
COFFEES
Seasonal espresso blend: Always available and in two guises.
Seasonal ‘House’ Blend
The blend changes composition as coffees come in and out of season. However the goal is always the same: a medium roasted coffee that works well across all brew methods. And loves milk. Currently a blend of two Brazilian and Ethiopian Sidamo coffees.
R90/250g or R290/1kg
The Pavement Special
For those who like it more developed, I created the Pavement Special. Basically it just spends more time in the roaster after first crack. But it’s by no means an Italian Roast. That “The Dude will not abide”.
R90/250g or R290/1kg
Speciality Coffees
In addition to the two ‘house’ roasts, I aim to have at least two single origin Specialty Coffees available. These are always roasted much lighter to give the coffees the best chance to express their unique qualities.
(pls note it may take a day or two to get these out)
