    Great video about a great Roaster. First checked them out in 2013 with The Barn, after first contact with Specialty Coffee at Bonanza Coffee (Heroes) in 2010. I also bought a load of ACME cups with them, first try to import them via Air Craft. 😬

    Great job with the video! Unfortunately with all that QC I've still not had a great bag of coffee from them. I try their stuff off and on looking to give a second chance even tried different water recipes but.... Great branding at least. I've also lived in Australia and close to Portland Oregon so I would say there standards are on another level.
