Roaster · Served at 1 shop

Chicago roaster built around a refurbished 1961 Probat UG 15.

Xavier Alexander, an Intelligentsia head roaster who had worked there since 2009, and Caffe Streets owner Darko Arandjelovic signed the lease on a Fulton Market roastery in 2013. For about three years it ran mainly as a wholesale business, then opened a bar at the front in 2016.

The Probat arrived from Germany in a crate, badly damaged, and took nearly a year to repair.​⁠​​​⁠⁠​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​​⁠⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​
