Quality Commitment

To what extent would FrontStreet Coffee go for a good cup of coffee?

Generally, when a batch of beans arrives at FrontStreet Coffee

From roasting to serving, it takes about a week

Each bean variety is roasted with three different curves: light, medium, and dark roast

Then from these three curves, the batch with the highest cupping score is selected

Next, the roaster creates a standard roasting curve chart

Finally, the barista begins brewing records - brewing records also require at least 3 attempts

If a bean's roasting curve hasn't been perfected

FrontStreet Coffee would rather not put it on the shelf!!

Because at FrontStreet Coffee

There is a corporate value: Strive for excellence!

FrontStreet Coffee's craftsmanship focuses more on perfecting roasting, cupping, and spreading coffee culture
