About Binocle
Binocle is a Montreal micro-roaster that roasts its coffee in a zero-emission electric roaster. It packs its beans in biodegradable bags, keeping the footprint small from roasting to your kitchen.
It suits coffee drinkers who care about how their beans are made as much as how they taste. A bag makes an easy, thoughtful gift for a host or a coworker, and it fits right into a slow weekend breakfast at home. It is a small, island-of-Montreal maker that shows how a daily habit can be done with a lighter touch.
