About Us
We love fresh food. We love it without flavour enhancers and without any frills. During a brunch with self-baked bread, freshly roasted granola, and elderflower jam from the garden, we first thought about what it would be like to roast our own coffee. We started reading, roasting, tinkering, and slurping. And soon enough, we were completely captivated by the world of coffee, roasting, and the almost 1001 flavour variations. Since then, our garden breakfasts have been enriched by a little coffee journey around the world.
And we rebel!
We rebel against the idea that coffee is just a quick pick-me-up. Roasted so dark that we can’t even taste the differences. Diluted with milk and sugar just so we can tolerate it. We fight for coffee to be enjoyed with all the senses. For the differences and character to be savored—along with the hard work and love that farmers put into growing and processing the beans.
Ingo
Iced coffee from the Kaffeetöff, a coffee-serving tuk-tuk in the alleys of Bangkok, Japanese siphon coffee in Shibuya, or a Three Africans Blend at the Blue Bottle Café in San Francisco – Ingo never misses a coffee experience. When he’s at home, he soothes his wanderlust by roasting the world into his cup. Where others keep wine, he has a few sacks of green coffee, and while others meditate, he watches the beans spin in the roaster. Favorite coffee: a Maytama Castillo by Patricia Builes as a Cold Brew.

Nina
Coffee has to taste good, that’s clear. But just as important to Nina is the place where she drinks her coffee, the cup it’s served in, the people sitting with her, and of course the stories they share. She loves “Café con Libres,” for example at Powell's City of Books in Portland – the largest and most amazing bookstore in the world. Or “Café con Karma,” for example at the Eco Deli on the Indonesian island of Nusa Lembongan, which besides delicious coffee also offers a recycling station and free clean drinking water for the entire island. And not to forget: “Café con Arte.” She enjoys this most at Blikje Button in Tokyo, where small booklets lovingly painted by previous visitors lie before her. She is a marketing professional and travel blogger. Favorite coffee: a Café au Lait from a French Press with a floral-yet-tart Sidamo.
