But the factory is still the main attraction, and theater was very much on Muller's mind when she designed the space. A line of hulking gray machinery surrounded by a waist-high balustrade—coated in basketball-like leather—sits in the middle of the space, and you can lean in and watch beans roasting. An employee slices open a burlap sack of green coffee beans, dumps them into a floor grate, then lifts them through an elevator of clear piping as the beans make their way to storage vats.
