Who we are

215 Coffee is an unlikely story almost 10 years in the making. For a long time, I didn’t enjoy coffee; the taste seemed too bitter and strong for my liking. However, over time, my perspective began to change. As I tried different brewing methods and explored a variety of beans and roasts, I started to appreciate the rich flavors and inviting aromas that make coffee so unique. Gradually, what once felt overwhelming became a daily ritual I look forward to, and I now find joy in discovering new blends and savoring the subtle notes in each cup. Coffee has become more than just a beverage for me—it’s an experience I genuinely appreciate.

Roasting coffee is a process I truly enjoy because it combines creativity, science, and sensory experience in a unique way. I love the anticipation that builds as the beans transform, releasing complex aromas and developing rich flavors with each stage of the roast. There’s a special satisfaction in experimenting with different profiles and techniques to bring out the best characteristics of each batch. For me, roasting coffee is not just about making a drink—it’s about crafting something special from start to finish and sharing that passion with others who appreciate a truly great cup.

I am excited about the opportunity to grow this business and make a positive impact in the community. Building something from the ground up is both challenging and rewarding, and I am motivated by the chance to reach new customers, expand our offerings, and create meaningful connections. Most importantly, I look forward to giving back—whether through supporting local initiatives, creating jobs, or partnering with charitable organizations. As the business grows, so does our ability to make a difference, and that sense of purpose is what inspires me every day.
