Coffee,measured.

A specialty roastery and tasting room on East Hastings — small-batch beans dialled in on the bench, brewed by people who actually want to talk about it.

/ the room

A tasting room, not just a counter.

Prototype is built around the bench — small Aillio roasters, a rotating board of single origins, and a brew bar where the point is to taste, compare, and ask questions.

Order an espresso, run a side-by-side of two washed Ethiopias, or take a bag home and dial it in yourself. The people behind the bar would honestly rather talk you through it than rush you out.

Copy above is placeholder — owner to supply the real story.
