About Percussive Coffee

Hello!
I am Tyler Thoms, owner and roaster at Percussive Coffee, a small business located in Bakersfield, CA. First, thank you so much for visiting my website. I am delighted you are here! Percussive specializes in specialty coffee roasting, consulting, and education in Bakersfield. While Bakersfield is certainly not known for its coffee scene, I opened Percussive in 2023 with the goal of providing people here with an extremely high quality and comforting coffee experience at a great price.
I have been obsessed with the art and science of specialty coffee since 2017 and have been roasting coffee since 2018. From agricultural practices, processing methods, roasting, café operations, and brewing, I continue to diligently study and apply industry best practices from the crop all the way to your cup. My goal is to share my love and passion for coffee through education and community. 
Percussive is currently a one-man "micro-roastery" (and as of Dec 2024, also a small cafe!). This means I offer only a select number of bags per month. Follow us on IG @ percussive_coffee to stay updated and get your hands on a bag (or two!) when you can! 
Thank you so much for your support of local small business. 
To the beat of your soul, 
Tyler Thoms
