This coffee is sourced from the Mugaya Washing Station, located at the foot of Mt. Kenya in the Kirinyaga highlands. It is produced by approximately 1,700 smallholder farmers who manage small plots of land with volcanic soil at an elevation of 1800 meters. The coffee is processed using the washed method. This specialty coffee reflects the high-quality standards of the Mutira Farmers' Cooperative Society.
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.
