It all starts with passion
Our journey into the world of coffee began behind the counter as baristas. The hours spent making coffee for hundreds of people helped us develop a deep passion for the craft.
Behind the "we"
Who roasts your coffee?
That's me!
(on the left, next to Wilton the star)
I'm Louis, owner & roaster at Nucleus.
Even though I often write in the third person to include everyone who pushes Nucleus forward in ways big and small, I'm the one behind most of Nucleus's operations.
My passion started at the counter of Nordik, a small neighbourhood café a 2-minute walk from home.
That's where I spent hundreds of hours perfecting my technique and learning about coffee. Over time, my curiosity for roasting grew, turning me into a curious roaster who constantly explores the limits of coffee.
Our geeky approach
The pursuit of perfection
Why go electric with our roasting? Because we want to push the technical limits of the coffee industry.
Electric roasting and our modern equipment let us showcase the unique profile of each bean through extreme control, while also reducing our carbon footprint.
It's our commitment to quality, to the pursuit of perfection through science, and to the planet.
A new era
At Nucleus, we envision a future where the specialty coffee market is defined by complete accessibility and openness.
We believe every enthusiast deserves easy access to the best coffees roasted by fellow enthusiasts.
That's why we decided to build a 100% online model and offer free shipping at just 2 bags. Anywhere in Canada.
Our model lets us offer you coffee that's always roasted and shipped the same day: a zero-compromise approach that opens the door to the best coffee experience possible.
