From green to gone.

  1. A handful of green coffee beans

    Green

    Ethically sourced beans wait here until somebody orders.

  2. A hand on the roaster

    Roast

    By hand, in small batches, only after an order.

  3. Roasted beans dropping into the cooling tray

    Cool

    Even a tough guy needs a minute to cool down.

  4. A Good Morning Beautiful bag beside its inked block

    Stamp

    Every bag gets hand-stamped with the day it left the roaster.

  5. Stacked Hey There Tough Guy bags ready to go

    Ship

    It goes out USPS Priority Mail within 24 hours of roasting.
