Small-Batch Roastery · Bengaluru
We log every
roast curve.
You taste the difference.
Drift buys direct from farms we've visited, roasts in batches under 12kg, and never sells a bag older than three weeks. Nothing about that is automated.
Roast Log — Lot 0142
Ethiopia · Guji
Logged by hand on every batch. Roast development time held at 13% for this lot — lighter, brighter, more citrus.
Direct-Trade Sourcing
We pay farms above commodity price and visit the ones we buy from every year. No anonymous brokers in the chain.
Hand-Logged Roasting
Every batch gets its own temperature curve, charted by the roaster, not a preset. Each lot is roasted to its own bean, not a house style.
Three-Week Shelf Life
We roast to order in small runs. If a bag has sat longer than three weeks, it doesn't go out the door.
The Chain
Four hands touch every bag before it reaches yours.
Origin
The Farmer
Cherries picked at peak ripeness on small farms in Chikmagalur, Coorg, and direct imports from Ethiopia and Guatemala.
Process
The Mill
Washed, natural, or honey-processed at origin — we publish the process and lot number on every bag.

The Roaster
Roasted in Bengaluru within days of arrival, curve logged by hand, cupped before approval.

“I've never had a bag from Drift that tasted like the last one. That's the whole point — they're roasting the bean in front of them, not a recipe.”
Kabir Nanda, Wholesale Partner
This week's roast sells out fast.
We roast small batches on a fixed schedule — once a lot is gone, it's gone until the next harvest.
