At Espresso Republic, roasting is our center stage, our obsession. We roast on state-of-the-art modern equipment that is energy efficient and capable of progressive profiling. We receive samples of green coffee frequently; we sample roast in small batches, formally cup them while taking notes, and if we like it, we re-roast and taste again for purchase consideration. Potential espressos are also dialed in and tasted at different extractions on a weekly basis. Every step in Quality Control is documented and scrutinized.

There is no detail that is passed over. Roasting commands our full attention, it forces us to focus. Roasting happens fast, and its our job to keep up, using all our senses and sometimes our intuition. A few degrees, a matter of seconds can be the difference between excellence and mediocrity. Not only is it important for coffees to be roasted to their best potential, but consistency is crucial. A perfect roast is a moving target, and that is our goal each time. The more consistent the coffee is, the better it can be brewed deliciously, repeatedly.
