at IKAWA
Marketing Executive
With customers in over 100 countries, IKAWA has redefined how both professionals and home coffee drinkers think about roasting coffee.
IKAWA means coffee in Kirundi, which is the language of Burundi. It was from his time growing up in Burundi that our Founder, Andrew Stordy, had the idea for the IKAWA roaster.
