the kimel from papua new guinea's western highlands is a washed bourbon and typica blend processed through a rto (river-traded organisation) network. washed processing strips the cherry cleanly, letting the bean's natural character come through, which here leans distinctly savoury and mushroom-forward rather than fruity or sweet. it suits drinkers who prefer earthy, umami-driven cups over brighter, acidic profiles. brew it as a filter, keeping water temperature around 92-94°c and a medium-coarse grind to highlight the savoury depth without tipping into bitterness. espresso is possible but the unusual flavour profile rewards slower, more controlled extraction methods.

about the coffee roaster

you're on anthony street in west end, which is the kind of block that rewards slowing down. the coffee roaster sits at number seven, and if you've spent any time in this part of brisbane you'll know west end doesn't really do pretence. that suits this place. roasting in-house means what ends up in your cup hasn't traveled far from source to finish, and the regulars here have clearly noticed, coming back with the consistency of people who've stopped looking elsewhere. there's something grounding about a roaster operating at this scale in a neighbourhood that still has its edges intact. mid-morning on anthony street, flat white in hand, is a reasonable argument for the whole operation.
