We are the Gould-Knights. We love a great cup of coffee and are quite partial to each other.

Jon’s special interest has been coffee nearly his whole life (arguably leading to stunted growth in his tweens). After years working as a barista and coffee buyer, he started home-roasting in 2017, using an iron skillet over a charcoal grill, then quickly upgraded to an air popcorn popper. He kept studying and graduating his roasting methods over time, until joining the Buckman Coffee Factory in 2026. Jon is in love with the process of sourcing, roasting and brewing, and delights in being part of this community. Seriously, he loves talking coffee. Reach out and ask him questions. (Go ahead.)

Kit is the little creature that thrives in the background, packaging the beans, creating our marketing, and ensuring the process runs smoothly.

Our mission is to practice collective ritual, offering it the time, grounding, and heart-power that it deserves.
