SUM OF ONE

Sum of One is a roasting & design project by Beau Badinski.

ROASTING APPROACH

Call it light, nordic light or expressive light. Roasting with the intention of bringing out the intrinsic flavours of each variety, origin and proccessing, without adding any roastiness. The end goal: to roast coffees that are clean, sweet and bright— Extreme elegance. 

We roast in small batches on a Loring S7 Nighthawk.

COFFEE SELECTION

We purchase coffee entirely with flavor in mind. The coffee has to taste unique, and interesting to us. If we like it we'll buy it. That's the criteria. Simple.

LOCATION

We roast out of Project 281— a co-roasting space and cafe in Melbourne, Australia run by the one and only Anne Cooper. 

DESIGN

All design for sum of one is done in house as part of this as a complete creative project. I've been in bands for most of my life, so the the DIY spirit runs deep in sum of one. I am heavily influenced and inspired by music and film.

SUM OF ONE PHILOSOPHY

S.O.1 is a process of analysing and roasting and tasting. Trying to do justice to the amazing coffees we purchase, and the producers who grew and processed them. Creating roasts that little bit better each time. Continuous, incremental improvement to achieve the best possible outcome.
