THE JOPER 15-KILO
We roast on a custom-built, fully manually adjustable double-walled drum roaster from Portugal. It roasts in small batches – about 30 pounds at a time – which means we can give lots of love and attention to every roast.
The double-walled drum design helps prevent bean scorching, while chaff is continually whisked away during the roasting process, avoiding burnt, bitter, or ‘off’ flavors. Manual roasting offers us full control over a number of variables, such as airflow, temperature, and drum speed, during every stage of the roast. This allows us to customize a roast profile to the unique characteristics of each bean varietal and crop, delivering a wonderful nuance, complexity, and depth of flavor in the final product—the coffee in your cup!
