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.
