HOW DO WE
MAKE COFFEE
PRINCIPLES
THREE KEY PRODUCTION
COMPONENTS
WORLD'S BEST EQUIPMENT
AUTOMATION
MULTISTAGE QUALITY CONTROL
OUR GOAL IS TO REVEAL THE TASTE OF EACH COFFEE THROUGH ROASTING AND DO THIS CONSTANTLY FROM BATCH TO BATCH. FOR THIS, WE HAVE THINKED OUT OF ALL STAGES OF PRODUCTION — FROM STORAGE TO PACKAGING.
BEGINNING
RAW MATERIAL
CONTROL
Each lot of green coffee goes through our laboratory, where we evaluate it according to physical (humidity, density, water activity) and sensory parameters (using the SCA form — we have 8 Q-graders in the company).
- MOISTURE
- DENSITY
- WATER ACTIVITY
- FRAGRANCE
- FLAVOUR
- AFTERTASTE
- ACIDITY
- INTENSITY
- BODY
- DENSITY
- UNIFORMITY
- BALANCE
- CLEAN CUP
- SWEETNESS
- DEFECTS
- OVERALL
- TOTAL SCORE
STORAGE
WE STORE GREEN
COFFEE CORRECTLY
Green coffee is also susceptible to aging and it is important to store it properly.
We maintain the low temperature in the warehouse using a climate control system. We also use industrial humidifiers to control humidity, which spray up to 500 liters of water into the air every day.
HUMIDITY
55%
TEMPERATURE

EQUIPMENT
WE WORK ON THE
BEST EQUIPMENT
IN THE WORLD
To ensure consistent roasting from batch to batch, we use the world’s best roasters — Loring and Giesen.
The different capacity of our roasters allows us to roast different coffees every day, from rare microlots to espresso blends for coffee machines.
Loring
S70
Peregrine
Our production is the only one in the world where six Loring S70 roasters are installed at one place, each with capacity up to 70 kg of green coffee. These roasters, manufactured in the USA, are considered to be some of the most expensive and advanced roasters in the world. We roast all our espresso coffee and some filter coffee on them.

GIESEN
W6
A small roaster with the capacity up to 6 kg of green coffee. It has a powerful gas burner and a huge number of adjustments for accurate roast profiling. We use it to roast Limited Edition coffee, experiment and roast coffee for barista competitions.

Roest
L100
Plus
In our laboratory, we use several professional models of Norwegian roasters Roest to check the quality of each lot that arrives at our warehouse. These roasters are not to roast coffee for sale, but are an important part of the quality control system.

SOFTWARE
IT SOLUTIONS
FOR THE PERFECT
RESULT
WE USE TWO TYPES OF ROASTING SOFTWARE:
1 TYPE
To record roasting curves and data throughout the day, compare them with reference roasts and control quality. This program is called Cropster.
2 TYPE
Software for repeating roasting profiles installed on each roaster. It guarantees that the taste of the coffee you regularly order will be the same.
SORTING
WE REMOVE ALL
DEFECTIVE BEANS
AFTER ROASTING, WE CLEAN COFFEE USING SOVDA OPTICAL COLOR SORTERS. THEY TAKE PHOTOS OF EACH BEAN AND REJECT ALL DEFECTIVE BEANS: CHIPPED, BURNED, QUAKERS AND ETC.
PACKAGING
WE PACK COFFEE
WITH NITROGEN
We package our coffee
with nitrogen, without any
oxygen, which allows to
store coffee two times
longer without aging.
TRANSPARENCY
FULL
TRANSPARENCY
We launched a 24/7 broadcast from our roastery and green coffee warehouse because we have nothing to hide — everything is always in order.

We check the first four checkpoints using the Cropster software.
We control the color using ColorTrack laser colorimeters to ensure the accurate degree of roasting
UNIQUE ID ON
EACH PACKAGE
Our automated system creates for each coffee packaging a unique QR code and writes all the information about it.
This allows us to accurately complete each order without errors and know everything about each package, which we send you: storage conditions, roasting profile, results of control cupping, packaging and shipping time.

COLORSORTER
The colorsorter takes a picture of each bean and reject defective ones.
Let's find quakers which is considered as defective beans and whose color differs from others. Click on these beans to create perfect batch of coffee.
