About Us

  • We are runners, parents to a baby boy, dog parents (2), and coffee enthusiasts. Margaret’s love for coffee grew alongside her running career starting in the early high school years, while Matthew’s fondness for the drink arrived not long after he and Margaret started dating. Some call it a coincidence, others call it fate.

    After meeting on the track team in college, our shared passions for running and coffee have taken us across different life stages, leading us to pursue a career in the specialty coffee industry. Now, after years of experience and a shared journey, we’ve launched ourselves into the coffee world with the same energy we bring to our love for running.

  • OUR COFFEE ROASTING JOURNEY

    We started roasting for ourselves during COVID using an air popper (as in a popcorn popper), experimenting with different beans and origins and supplying any interested family members with our home roasted beans. As we became more knowledgeable and invested (obsessed), we decided to purchase a 1 kilogram roaster: the Aillio Bullet. The Bullet is a little machine that packs a punch. It is dubbed one of the greenest roasters in the world due to its use of induction heating. This, in addition to the Infrared bean temperature sensors, helps reduce energy waste. The sensors also allow precise, responsive, and instantaneous adjustments. Our mighty machine can roast 1kg (2.2 pounds) of coffee at a time and easily tackle back-to-back roasts.
