Craft, history & enjoyment

Do you love the smell of freshly roasted coffee? In our show roasting we take you behind the scenes of a genuine artisan coffee roastery and on a journey from origin to cup. Coffee from all over the world is refined here at our roastery in Zwiesel, in the heart of the Bavarian Forest.

We show you how we refine the "black gold" with passion, craftsmanship and plenty of time. Here you will learn how a green bean becomes an aromatic masterpiece – in surroundings that take you straight back to the golden era of coffee.

The coffee museum: a journey through time for the senses

Your experience begins in our lovingly designed coffee museum. Here Jens Kirmse has gathered treasures from days gone by that bring the history of coffee to life:
