The Coffee
Having grown up on the coffee farm that he now manages, it tracks that Marlon would find himself in his current position; what strays a bit from the norm is that, at 17, he enrolled himself in a coffee training course at SENA (Colombia's nationally-sponsored vocational training program), to develop a foundational knowledge of brewing, green coffee evaluation and sensory analysis. It opened his eyes to the potential in a more qualitative approach to coffee farming, and soon after he began planting more desirable varietals, such as Gesha, Pink Bourbon and Chiroso, while also refining his processing methods. Now 21, he's been at the helm of his family's farm for just two years and in that time has begun producing some truly standout coffees.
Anomalous Coffee Roasters is the small Brooklyn micro-roaster run by Scott Price. He’s a longtime coffee industry veteran (barista, trainer, and manager since the late ’90s) who also works as an actor and filmmaker in New York. He launched Anomalous in the summer of 2020 when pandemic shutdowns paused film work, took over roasting at MUD Coffee, and decided to go all-in on the kind of coffees that don’t play by the usual rules.
The name is intentional: they’re focused on rare, unusual, and “anomalous” lots, the ones that clearly deviate from the standard, normal, or expected. Scott typically releases one carefully chosen coffee at a time, treats each drop almost like a short film (research, storytelling, producer focus), and keeps the operation deliberately small and intentional.
