Curator’s note
Martin Diedrich grew up on his family's coffee farm in Guatemala, left a course of study in Mayan archaeology in 1983 to help his parents' Costa Mesa roastery, and built the Diedrich coffeehouses from there. He resigned in June 2004 and opened Kéan with Karen in December 2005, a stone's throw from where he first joined his parents, Carl and Inga.
The Coffee
Espresso is extracted with portion control, pressure and timing, and the milk is textured into microfoam for the latte art. Chocolate drinks and teas share the menu.

The Vibe
The craft here is at the roaster: three Diedrich machines across the two shops, built by Martin's brother Stephan Diedrich in Sandpoint, Idaho, running roasts 10 to 20 minutes at 425 to 475 degrees, with weekly cuppings deciding the list. The retail shelf sells V60s, Chemexes, and Aeropresses for people to brew at home.
