Fire is not
the ingredient.
It is the author.
Master Roaster Alexander Stavridis does not follow a recipe. He conducts a transformation — one that begins with an exceptional bean and ends with something the bean could never have become alone.
The hand
behind the fire.
Alexander Stavridis has spent years studying the precise relationship between heat, time, and airflow — not as variables to be controlled, but as forces to be understood. His work begins long before the roast, in the evaluation of each lot, each varietal, each harvest.
His approach rejects the industrial model of consistency at scale. Every batch at Maison Orïme is a singular event — unrepeatable, intentional, and signed by the hand that conducted it.
What emerges is not simply roasted coffee. It is a decision made at the intersection of mastery and restraint — the moment Alexander Stavridis decides the bean has reached its highest possible expression.

Master Roaster · Maison Orïme
The full roast progression — green to first crack to final expression. Every stage is a decision. Only one is correct.
From any origin, in any season — the hand that reads the fire remains the same.
Applied with precision. Not to darken, but to reveal. The temperature curve is proprietary — developed over thousands of evaluations and adjusted for every single lot.
Airflow strips harshness without erasing character. The roast breathes. What remains after is smoother, more velvety, more balanced — the bean's truest self.
Measured in seconds, felt in years of practice. Time is the variable most roasters get wrong. At Maison Orïme, it is the signature — the final word Alexander Stavridis writes on every batch.
Just like the perfect combination of heat and pressure creates a rare heirloom diamond, Alexander Stavridis has mastered fire, air and time to forge a truly extraordinary coffee.
Maison Orïme · The Craft ClaimMaison Orïme sources from estates where the altitude, soil, and harvest method already produce something exceptional. But exceptional is only the beginning. The bean arrives at Bedoya's hands as raw potential.
It leaves as something else entirely — a cup that carries the memory of where it grew and the intelligence of the man who chose to reveal it.
We do not chase rarity. We do not limit by origin or variety. We apply mastery to whatever is worthy of it — and the result is always the same: extraordinary.
