Our story

Roasted slow,
a block from the ocean

Half Moon started in 2019 with one secondhand drum roaster in a garage in Half Moon Bay. We still roast in small batches, four days a week, and ship every bag within 48 hours so it reaches you at its best.

We buy from the same farms year after year and pay well above Fair Trade minimums. Four roasts, kept on purpose: we would rather make four coffees brilliantly than forty well enough.

Crescent, pulled short

18 g in, 36 g out, about 28 seconds. Sweet enough on its own, chocolatey enough for a flat white.
