Coffee.
Engineered.
Every dose is weighed to 18 grams before we pull the shot.
We grind to order on 4 grinders, weigh every dose, and pull each shot on a Victoria Arduino Black Eagle Maverick. Then a barista hands it to you in a real cup.

It starts at the grinder.
18g
Every dose, weighed as it grinds.
The grinder weighs each dose while it grinds. It stops at 18 grams, before we pull the shot.
A timer guesses the dose. The scale measures it, so every shot starts with the same 18 grams.
02 · Grinders
Four grinders, one job each.
Meet the Nuova Simonelli Mythos GX. We have 4. Each one grinds one kind of coffee, so its setting never changes between drinks.

The GX is precise, and it takes its time. On a busy morning one grinder could not keep up, so we bought more.
More grinders, same precision.
03 · The Machine
The Black Eagle Maverick.
We pull every shot on a Victoria Arduino Black Eagle Maverick. Baristas at the World Barista Championship compete on the same line of machine. It holds the water temperature steady on every group head, all morning.

When the machine is steady, the only things that change your cup are the beans and the barista.

You've probably driven past us. Maybe you've had brunch with us. Next time, come in for the coffee at Willow Glen, at Delmas, or at Food Shed Cafe inside the Children's Discovery Museum.
