Small-batch roasters, Milepost 47
Small-batch coffee from the old freight house.
We roast on Number Nine, a drum roaster older than most of the staff, in the Bracken Valley & Northern freight house. The railroad stopped running in 1971. We kept the building and the timetable.
The 8:14 crossed here until 1971.
On the bar today
Five single origins, in rotation.
What is pouring depends on the morning, the season, and on Beatrice, who is our espresso machine and does not always cooperate.
this morning: Beatrice is up, so far

“We don’t roast to a trend. We roast to the morning, and to whatever Number Nine is willing to give us that day.”Della Voss, who owns the place and the opinions
The roaster
Number Nine runs the place, mostly.
She is a drum roaster named like a locomotive, and she has opinions. She runs hot before noon and sulks when it rains. We read her the way you read weather, and the coffee is better for it. Bram is learning her moods. It is going about as well as you would expect.
