Who's behind the roaster.

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.

Here's the part a README usually skips: I do this because I love it. Coffee is the thing that gets people talking — it turns a quiet morning into a conversation, a first meeting into an easy one, a reason to slow down together. Unlisted is a labor of obsession before it's anything else: a way to share that, one batch at a time.

At its core it's a small operation — me, my wife, a couple of opinionated dogs, and a rotating cast of friends who pitch in when there's a batch to pull or an event to run. Not everyone roasts, but the good days are the crowded ones — and that's the whole point.
