Our Story
At Engineered Coffee & Roastery, we approach specialty coffee with the precision and passion of engineering. Every variable matters — from the origin of our beans to the exact water temperature in your cup.
We source single-origin beans from the world's finest growing regions — Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, and the Philippines — and roast them in small batches right here in our Makati City roastery. Every bean we serve has been freshly roasted in-house, calibrated for the brewing method, and dialed in for peak flavor extraction. No middleman roaster, no warehouse lag. Just coffee at its freshest.
Located in Tejeros, Makati — the residential neighborhood tucked between Chino Roces Avenue and the city's southern edge — Engineered Coffee was built for the Makati coffee lover who knows the difference between specialty grade and commodity, who values precision over theatrics, and who wants to taste coffee that genuinely expresses where it was grown.
Our specialty coffee in Makati comes from beans scored 80+ by certified Q Graders, roasted in our on-site micro-roastery, and brewed using rigorously calibrated methods. The result? A cup of coffee that's not just good — it's engineered to be exceptional.
The Process
We partner directly with farms across Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, and the Philippines — selecting only specialty-grade beans scored 80+ by certified Q-graders.
Small-batch roasting in-house, calibrated with precision. We develop unique roast profiles for each origin to unlock its fullest flavor potential.
Water temperature, grind size, extraction time — every variable is dialed in. Whether pour-over or espresso, your cup is brewed with engineering-grade consistency.
