The Roast

Our beans are sourced from Blue Williams Plantation Farm in St, Thomas, on the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. Our beans are ethically sourced, and our supplier pays living wages.|

We then roast the beans in our Giesen W15A roaster, which can roast up to 60kg an hour.

Risk Scenario 1

Inflation

Risk

High

Impact

3

Probability

2

Reasoning 

Impact (high)

There could be a significant impact if the price of green coffee beans is affected by tariffs, fuel prices, and we are particularly vulnerable because of single source supply.

 

Closure Potential: -
Revenue Loss Potential: variable based on severity of price fluxuation 
Probability (likely)

In the current world climate, there is a high chance of fuel increases and delays due to war, weather and tariffs

Risk Scenario 2

Extreme Weather: Jamaica

Risk

Medium 

Impact

2

Probability

2

Reasoning 

Impact (moderate)

Depending on backstock and the roasting cycle, it could immediately interrupt or soon disrupt coffee supply, depending on bean stock.

 

Closure Potential: up to 5 days to reestablish supply chain
Revenue Loss Potential: $1500 to $2000 per day ($1500 to $10000)

Probability (possible)
Caribbean shipping channels are interrupted once every 10 years by hurricanes and/or tropical storms

 

Risk Scenario 3

Exhaust Fire

Risk

Low

Impact

2

Probability

1

Reasoning 

Impact (moderate)

The high heat roaster could cause significant smoke damage and potentially smoke inhalation

 

Closure Potential: up to 5 days for health recovery and/or fire inspection
Revenue Loss Potential: $1500 to $2000 per day ($1500 to $10000)
Probability (unlikely)

A stringent daily cleaning routine should serve to prevent any buildup

Risk Scenario 4

Mechanical Failure

Low

Impact

1

Probability

2

Reasoning 

Impact (unlikely)
A broken motor or heating element could delay production. Most industrial parts tend to ship from Ontario and Quebec/

Closure Potential: up to 3 days 
Revenue Loss Potential: $1500 to $2000 per day ($1500-$6000)

Probability (likely)

With daily use, there is bound to be wear and tear, though surprises can be mitigated through regular maintenance
