We had a pop-up café event booked… but no coffee to serve. With zero roasting experience, no business background, and a roaster stuck in customs, our summer became a crash course in survival roasting.
From test batches on our ROEST to serving our very first customers, this is the messy, hilarious, and justslightly terrifying story of how we launched our coffee roastery.
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
- Why we decided to start a roastery from scratch
- The wild scramble when our café came before the coffee
- Customs delays, FedEx rescues, and a 10-day countdown
- Our first test roasts on the ROEST sample roaster (spoiler: surprisingly good)
- How we actually pulled off our first café service with our own beans
If you’ve ever dreamed of roasting—or just enjoy watching people figure it out under pressure—you’ll love this one.
