This coffee is sourced from the Ninga Washing Station, located at 1,900 to 2,000 meters above sea level along the Nkokoma River in the Butanyerera province of Burundi. Established by Long Miles Coffee, the station supports local smallholder farmers by providing fair pricing and processing. This coffee is processed using the washed method. It reflects a commitment to quality, traceability, and transparent trade practices.
Metric Coffee emerged in 2013 from a partnership between Darko Arandjelovic, formerly of Caffe Streets, and Xavier Alexander, an Intelligentsia roaster since 2009. Operating from the West Fulton neighborhood of Chicago, Metric roasts on a meticulously restored 1961 Probat drum roaster, maintaining equipment that speaks to the roastery's appreciation for craft and precision. The company's recent expansion with Milli by Metric in a century old Avondale building reflects Metric's growth while staying true to its focus on quality, consistency, and ecological mindfulness in every roasted batch.
