If you’ve been hoping to get some hands-on experience with IKAWA Sample Roasters, or simply talk about all things sample evaluation, get in touch to arrange a visit to IKAWA USA in Los Angeles.
Our office is located in a Pulley Collective building, a co-roasting space available to roasters wanting to rent time using a roaster — a perfect fit for our first US frontier.

MILES
Miles has been with IKAWA for 2 years now, and was our lone, intrepid IKAWA employee in the USA for over a year. Many of you will know Miles from IKAWA, or her previous work at Blue Bottle, as the Director of Education at Royal Coffee NY, or Roasting Manager at Allegro.
KIMIYO
Kimiyo joined the IKAWA team earlier this year and has brought over a decade of experience in the coffee industry with her. Most recently at Cafe Imports, and previously Peets and Keàn. Like Miles, she’s a SoCal native.
