Our Story
A roasting problem, approached like an engineering one.
Unlisted started the way side projects do: one person, too curious to leave a good thing alone.
The founder is a product engineer — the kind brought in early to turn loose ideas into shippable products. Days are spent at the intersection of product, design, and engineering: research, Figma, frontend architecture in React and TypeScript, backend services when they're needed. The throughline is craft — and a preference for collaboration over ceremony, where you're trusted to shape the product, not just the code.
Roasting, it turned out, works the same way. You start with a hypothesis. You run the batch. You taste the result, change one variable, run it again. A roast curve is just a chart. Getting better is just iteration — the same instinct that gets a feature from "ambiguous idea" to "thing people trust," pointed at coffee.
So that's Unlisted, made literal. Not a fixed menu — a workbench. We blend beans from wherever the cup gets better, test relentlessly, and ship the versions worth drinking. The lineup rotates because the work never really stops.
No rules. Just brew.
