Where every coffee story grows.

For years I paid premium prices for coffee at the big chain shops. Then I started paying attention to roast dates. Most of what I was buying had been roasted months earlier and left sitting on a shelf. I had been drinking stale coffee and calling it good.

In 2021 my two boys dared me to stop complaining and do something about it. So my wife Lori and I started roasting in the garage. A lot of bad batches later, that turned into a business.

Coffee peaks about 7 to 21 days after it is roasted, and ground coffee loses most of its aroma in the first 15 minutes. The roast date is the only date that matters, and almost nobody writes it down. That is what KaFinca is. A place to write it down.

Full disclosure: I roast coffee for a living. KaFinca does not care whose coffee you log, and it never will. No paid placement, no sponsored roasters, no reviews taken down because somebody asked. Every coffee business sits on the same map on the same terms, including mine.
