The art of refinement

Have you ever wondered how the hard, green raw coffee bean turns into a brown, fragrant marvel of aroma? In our Coffee Roaster Workshop for beginners, we open the doors of our manufactory to you.

We still practise the art of roasting almost as in the old days – with plenty of time, handcraft and a fine touch. Enjoy three inspiring hours in which you don't just watch, but immerse yourself deeply in the craft.

The bean's journey: from the plantation to the treasure chamber

Before we fire up the roaster, this coffee course takes us on a journey of discovery. At Kaffeerösterei Kirmse you'll learn all about the origins of your favourite drink:

Part 1 of the event

  • Tour of the coffee museum In our coffee gallery in Zwiesel, we dive into the fascinating history of coffee. More on our blog: The history of coffee
  • Botanical insights We explain everything worth knowing about coffee varieties, cultivation, harvesting and the careful processing in the countries of origin. More on our blog: Arabica vs. Robusta · The top 10 coffee-growing countries
  • Zwiesel's treasure chamber A special highlight is the visit to our coffee storehouse. This is where our hand-picked green coffees from the world's finest growing regions are kept – ready to be refined. More on our blog: How important is good green coffee?
