About
Specialty coffee roaster located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Producing high quality, responsibly sourced, handcrafted coffee roasted in small batches.
Our Story
Our journey began in the basement of a North Vancouver home, where 69 kg sacks of green beans were lugged down stairs and patiently fed into a small 1 kilo roaster. The space was barely large enough to fit two people, alongside all of the beans and packaging materials. The days were long, but the experience of roasting tiny batches over and over, tasting each and making slight adjustments to the next, created a mindset of continuous improvement. In 2014, when the new roastery was established on Greenall Avenue in the River District, this practice continued, and in 2024 our name was changed to better reflect it. A Continuum is a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, but the extremes are distinct. This reflects our approach to roasting, where we are always striving for improvement, making slight adjustments to our roast profiles, blending ratios, and sourcing to achieve greater results over time. The focus of our core line-up of coffees are those produced using sustainable methods that respect the environment. Our Final Proof, Cascadia, and Ella Todos Santos are all comprised of organic coffees from reputable producers and cooperatives and sourced from importers who we’ve built strong relationships with over time. We also feature a regular rotation of single origin offerings from all over the world. These are coffees with unique qualities and high cupping scores that we feel our customers, friends, and family will enjoy. Expect everything from smooth and approachable to wild and adventurous, as we feel there’s a coffee for everyone, and we do our best to find them.
