Our story

Roasted with care, on the harbour

FATHOM started with a small drum roaster and a simple idea: coffee tastes best when it's fresh, honest, and made by people who care.

We buy green beans by the harvest and trace every bag to a single farm. Each one is roasted by hand in small batches, rested to its peak, and sent out the morning it ships.

Ten minutes and forty-two seconds decide what it tastes like.

One roast of Harbour Light, logged from the moment the beans hit the drum. The curve is bean temperature. Everything you taste is decided somewhere along it.
