This is where I met Michael, the owner of the roasting operation. Such a cool guy. We spoke for a while about coffee, life, and happiness. He has been officially roasting here since April 2019 and I think he’s been doing a damn good job. Previously, he was running a side business for years roasting locally with a small hot-top coffee roaster. Then, one day the owner of Brew 95 came up to him at Church and said, “Come roast for us.”That was the calling he needed. Michael invested in a San Franciscan coffee roaster and turned his hobby up a notch! This guy was fascinating, he was still doing this on the side while working full-time as a gold mine engineer.
Michael’s slogan for Kubes Coffee, the roasting company, is, “Coffee as it was MADE to be.” He went on to explain that a great cup of coffee does not just happen. Within each coffee bean lies this potential: to produce a beverage that tastes, smells, and even feels good. And my favorite quote that he says about all of this is, “Just like people, each coffee bean is unique and has an amazing purpose inside of it. It only takes the hand of a master to make coffee as it was made to be.” Very parallel meanings to taking control of your own life and making the most of it. I couldn’t agree more and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Make sure you tell him Spencer says hi when you stop in.
