Hi there,
My name is Erik and I love coffee. And philosophy. And people. And the world. It is what it is.
About ten years ago I started roasting coffee at the recommendation of my good friends John & Lynelle Lawrence of Mudhouse Coffee Roasters. They are two beautiful human beings and truly great coffee artists. I had always been inspired by their journey but had never been able to dedicate enough time to developing my craft.
Then came covid...
I had been running my photography business at full tilt for 15 years and needed to take a breath. As work ground to a halt due to lockdowns I was able to focus more on roasting. A whole lot of green beans, some professional training and a thousand roasts through my San Franciscan SF-1 and I was ready for other people to give it a try.
I have always wanted to build a charitable component into anything I did with coffee and so I decided that I would launch a little coffee cart in March 2023 in honor of Women's History Month. And also that drinks would be free for that month. And that I would ask for donations to a local women's charity.
That's it! Obviously there's more to the story but you'll have to stop by and chat.
Hope to see you soon :)
Erik
