Raw beans.
Bring your
own fire.

Until now, if you wanted to roast at home in India, you bought five-kilo sacks meant for cafés. No more. We've broken those bags into 1kg lots.

THE MANIFESTO

Roasted coffee gives you the roaster's vision. Green coffee gives you everything before that decision.

For ten years we've watched home roasters in Bangalore, Bombay, and Bangkok beg European exporters for 1kg parcels. The exporters laughed. The minimums stayed at 60 kilos. The hobby stayed expensive and the curiosity stayed locked behind a wholesale gate.

We're opening that gate. Same lots that go to the café programs we love, split into amounts a kitchen drum or a Behmor can actually handle. Roast, cup, journal, repeat. We'll keep the lots flowing.

WHY HOME-ROAST?
i.

Maximum freshness window

Green coffee keeps for 12 months. Roasted, it peaks at days 4–10. Roast as you brew.

ii.

Your call on the curve

Light filter or developed espresso? You choose the development time, not us.

iii.

Cost per kg drops 40%

No roastery overhead. Same beans the cafés use, at green-bean prices.

iv.

A real coffee education

You'll understand origin, process, and density in three roasts. Promise.

A BRIEF PRIMER

First roast,
made simple.

If you've never put a green bean over heat, here's the fastest path from raw to drinkable.

01. Gear

Anything with heat & airflow

A popcorn popper or skillet gets you 80% of the way. Drum roasters add control, not flavor. Don't overspend on day one.

02. Cue

Listen for first crack

Around 196°C the beans audibly pop. That's where filter roasts live, 30s to 2 minutes after first crack. Pull early; it'll stretch.

03. Cool

Move fast, then rest

Drop into a colander. Two colanders, hand-tossed in front of a fan, beats most $200 cooling trays. Then rest 24–72 hours before brewing.

04. Cup

Journal every batch

Brew, taste, write down what changed.

FIELD REPORTS

From the first 50 roasters.

"I spent two years importing from London at ₹2,400/kg landed. Los Locos sent me a Yellow Honey AA that was better than anything I'd cupped from East Africa, for half the price. I haven't ordered abroad since."

"They didn't just send me beans, they sent me a flavor map and a hotline if I burnt it. This is the program I wished existed in 2018."

"Anaerobic Natural in a popcorn popper sounds like sacrilege. It came out tasting like preserved blueberries and red wine. I've ordered three more times in two months."

Buy the Yellow Honey SL9 first, it's the most forgiving. Use a popcorn popper or a stainless skillet on a gas flame.
Properly stored (cool, dark, sealed), 12 to 18 months from harvest.
Anything with heat and airflow. Order of preference if you're investing: West Bend Poppery II (₹4,500 used) → Behmor 2000AB (~₹65k) → Aillio Bullet R1 (~₹2.4L). For day one, a stainless skillet over your gas hob works.
Yes, especially past first crack. Roast under your range hood with a window open, or take it outdoors on a portable burner. The chaff is the bigger nuisance, wear an apron.
