FrontStreet Coffee - An In-House Roasting Coffee Shop

The arrival of the third wave of specialty coffee has driven rapid development across the coffee industry. This includes not only the concept, pursuit, and traceability of specialty coffee, but also the growth of another industry phenomenon: in-house roasting by coffee shops.

On the subject of in-house roasting, it would be easy to call it simply a deeper trend in the industry. In reality it is anything but simple: it requires buying high-quality green beans, determining roasting curves through repeated trials, verifying coffee flavors through cupping, and adjusting promptly whenever cupping reveals defects caused by a given curve. That demands considerable energy, time, and money devoted to roasting and cupping alike.

As for why shops pursue it, many owners would say, perhaps sentimentally, that they want a character and style all their own. In-house roasting is now the prevailing trend, and for the specialty coffee market it represents the flourishing diversity of the industry - more to compare, and more to choose from.

The continued development of specialty coffee has made the source of green beans more transparent and traceable, letting us understand the stories behind each lot and the effort invested in it.

FrontStreet Coffee has persisted with in-house roasting for 6 years and has stayed the course. While we dare not claim to be industry leaders, we adopted the in-house roasting model - still uncommon in the industry - from the very beginning. We insist on multiple roasting curves, select the best curve through repeated cupping results, and implement standardized operations.

In Short: Everything Is for Sharing and Spreading

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation: Our Medium Roast, Balanced by Design

In-house roasting is only worth the effort if the beans in the drum deserve it. A house favorite that shows why is FrontStreet Coffee's Brazil Queen's Estate: grown in Mogiana on fertile red volcanic soil, it is the rare Yellow Bourbon mutation of Red Bourbon, with cleaner fruit character and a naturally gentle sweetness. Roasted to medium, it brews with aromas of cream, peanut, chocolate, toasted bread, and sugarcane - balanced rather than sour or bitter, exactly what a well-tuned curve aims for. It works equally well as pour-over, in a moka pot, or through a home espresso machine, so every roast test ends in a genuinely drinkable cup.
