The Science and Art of Fluid Bed Roasting
The Difference
Traditional drum roasters put beans in contact with searing metal, which can scorch the beans on the outside and under-roast the inside. This yields bitter coffee with an unwanted aftertaste. Our fluid bed roasting method uses heated air to roast beans evenly inside and out. This gentler method brings out the most desirable flavors in the bean.
The Machine
Our custom built Sivetz fluid bed coffee roaster has been modified over decades by your roaster, Luciano, to achieve the exact temperature parameters and roasting times that makes his roast consistently delicious.
The Experience
For many coffee lovers who think bitter taste is just part of the deal with dark roast coffee, their first sip of Graffeo is a revelation. It’s strong, no doubt, but delivers a smooth, rich flavor whether brewed as espresso or pour-over.
The Beans
We use a singular blend of premium beans from Colombia, Costa Rica Tarrazu and Papua New Guinea for our Dark and Light roasts. Our decaf is 100% Colombian.
