Small-batch specialty roasting

Coffee tastes better in company.

The Cupping Room is a working roastery with a members’ clubhouse attached — twelve single origins a year, roasted on a thirty-kilo drum, and a room of 850+ home brewers comparing notes on every one of them.

Why the Circle exists

Great coffee is a group activity.

Brewing at home plateaus fast on your own. You find a bean you like, a recipe that works, and eighteen months later you are still pouring the same cup. What moves your palate is other people — tasting the same roast side by side and hearing what someone else found in it.

That is what this clubhouse is for. We roast the coffee; the Circle is where it gets talked about, brewed live, and argued over — kindly.

The roastery

Roasted in 30-kilo batches, shipped on roast day.

Every origin we buy is roasted to order on Greta, our thirty-kilo drum, and bagged the same morning it ships. Members taste each new arrival first — and their cupping scores decide what stays on the shelf.

Inside the Circle

Three things you get as a member.

The beans are the start. The membership is everything that happens around them.

◈

Monthly live brew-alongs

One evening a month, the head roaster brews the current featured roast on camera while the room brews along and compares cups in real time.

▣

The tasting-notes library

Every roast since 2016 — recipes, grind settings, water numbers and the Circle’s own scores. Search by origin, process or brew method.

✦

The Members Lounge

A forum that actually gets read. Post your pour, ask about gear, or trade notes on the latest micro-lot with people as curious as you are.

“The first brew-along fixed a pour I'd been getting wrong for two years. Nobody at home was ever going to catch it.”

“I joined for the discount, stayed for the lounge. The gear thread alone has saved me from two expensive mistakes.”
