The Bean Roaster
John kinghorn - Founder, Master Roaster and CEO
John Kinghorn often recalls his childhood memories of trips with his father each weekend to go collect their weekly supply of coffee from the local coffee roaster - his fascination with the stories of where the various beans came from and then watching how they were roasted before being ground and packed - it was then that the bean was planted! John’s passion for coffee has since developed into more of a lifelong adventure than simply a daily pleasure or morning routine. It was a few years ago when returning home after working in China that John, a qualified chartered accountant, set out on a mission to teach himself more about the art of roasting, coffee origins and the various types of equipment involved as well as all the other figurative bells and whistles of the industry through hours of determination-fuelled hard work and perseverance. Blended with his unquenchable thirst for adventure, desire for knowledge and determination to make a difference, the time was right and Outliers Coffee Roasters was born. Today, some years later our clients who now form part of our broader Outliers family will attest to the fact that he is not only an expert ‘bean counter’ but also an expert bean roaster!
