About me

Started on an air fryer

I'm Austin. I'm 22, I'm a cook by trade, and I've learned in the kitchen that people can taste when someone actually cares about what they're handing over.

Coffee is the idea I kept coming back to. I didn't want to wait until I could afford a real roaster, so I started with what I had: an air fryer, a kitchen scale, and one pound of green coffee from Colombia.

That first pound is a washed coffee from small farms around Buesaco, grown between 1,700 and 2,000 meters. I roasted it four different ways and logged every batch by the gram and the minute. If you've got a tester bag, you're holding one of them.

The plan is small on purpose: roasted to order, dated on the bag, and delivered by me around Fort Worth. When the roasts are consistent and your feedback says they're ready, we launch on January 1.

If you're reading this before then, thanks for being early. — Austin
