Roasters¶

The roasters behind the coffees in this ledger — who they are and how they roast.

TESO · Warsaw, Poland¶

A Warsaw roaster with a clean, against-the-trend style — very light roasts, mostly washed coffees, and no anaerobics or co-ferments: a terroir-forward cup over trendy fermented lots.

ROST · Warsaw, Poland¶

A Warsaw micro-roaster with a conscience — "Coffee That Cares": small-batch specialty roasting with compostable packaging, electric deliveries and a share of every bag going back to farmers.

Savora Café · Zurich, Switzerland¶

A young Zurich roaster sourcing single-origin Colombian coffee direct from family farms — bold, fruit-forward natural and anaerobic "winey" lots that dare you to taste something different.

BeMyBean · Kraków, Poland¶

A small Kraków specialty roastery built on the idea that good coffee brings good people together — small-batch roasts dialed in to each origin, split into espresso and filter lines.

KLARO · Warsaw, Poland¶

A one-man Warsaw roastery built on making specialty coffee clear and unintimidating — the name is Spanish "claro" (clear, obvious). Transparent, minimalist, and a little bit of fun.

Area 51 · Peania, Greece¶

A Greek specialty roaster with a self-styled "science & research" approach — they treat brewing like a lab, testing parameters and recording results rather than taking method on faith.

El Cafetero · Warsaw, Poland¶

A family roastery, cafe and patisserie sharing one address in central Warsaw, roasting single origins on site in small batches. Konrad is the headroaster, and he brought his father in.

THE BARN · Berlin, Germany¶

Berlin's third-wave pioneer and one of Europe's most respected roasters — very light, Scandinavian-style roasts, uncompromising single origins, and nothing on the shelf below 86 points.

ander · Belgium¶

Belgian cacao roasters — "roaster. brewer. cacao explorers." They treat cocoa the way a specialty roaster treats coffee, and their cobea is ground cocoa you brew in a filter cone.

Geisha Roasters · Madrid, Spain¶

A young Madrid roastery (2025) named for the variety it most wants to roast — three tiers, from everyday single origins up to a Reserve line of Geishas.

Substance Café · Paris, France (2nd arrondissement)¶

A tiny, reservation-only specialty coffee bar in Paris that serves and roasts competition-level lots.
