We have always experimented with coffee in our family and from a young age sought different ways of making it stronger or better, so it was only natural to try panroasting some green beans that Eric brought back from the Caribbean where he had been on a mission. The result wasn’t amazing but was exciting and served as a catalyst for future trials and it wasn’t long before he had a small drum roaster and we were getting fresh roasted coffee beans that were vibrant and delicious. Very soon however demand got out of control and a small hobby turned into a business and The Cracked Bean Co. was born. We then made the decision to turn to fluid-bed roasting and found that we could get a more controlled roast, cleaner beans, and brighter flavours for those reasons it has been gaining popularity amongst many artisan roasters and is seen by some as the way of the future. As we are still a small enough company to be flexible we are constantly trying new profiles and different beans from different farms that have special qualities and humanitarian outreaches. We especially love to hear feedback from our cafes and consumers on what type of coffees they enjoy, and which services are important to them. We’d like to extend our gratitude to you the customer for supporting this venture and ensuring more people can drink fresh coffee. CHEERS !
