Twelve years at one table

Sunday Table started with a single oak table and a borrowed espresso machine. The table is still here. Most other things changed.

2014

One table, twelve chairs

A carpenter on Linden Street builds the table from a fallen oak. We open on a Sunday.

2016

Our own roaster

A 5 kg roaster moves into the back room. We stop buying roasted coffee.

The Sunday Paper

Issue one: four photocopied pages, handed out with every cup.

2021

Brew school

Weeknight classes start, six people at a time, around the same table.

2024

The tasting bar

The old storeroom becomes a bar for weekend tastings with the roaster.

Still pulling up chairs

Seven farms, two roast days a week and the same table, now with a few more scratches.

From farm to your cup

Four steps, about three months, and a lot of tasting along the way.

  1. 1

    Grow

    Our farms pick by hand, only ripe cherries, and process the coffee on site. We visit each one at least every two years.

    About 8 weeks from harvest to shipping
  2. 2

    Roast

    Green coffee arrives in Old Town and goes into our 5 kg roaster on Tuesdays and Fridays. Every batch is logged and cupped.

    10 to 12 minutes per batch
  3. 3

    Rest

    Fresh beans need to release carbon dioxide before they taste right. Espresso rests for a week, filter for five days.

    5 to 7 days in the bag
  4. 4

    Brew

    We dial in every morning, adjusting the grind to the weather, then pour it at the long table.

Roasted down the hall, twice a week

We roast on Tuesday and Friday mornings, in small batches, and only what we'll sell within two weeks. If you sit at the far end of the table you can smell it.

We buy green coffee directly from the farms, pay above the Fairtrade minimum on every lot, and show the invoices to anyone who asks at the counter.
