Vom Nebelwald in den Bayerischen Wald: Ein Kaffee, der Brücken baut
Ein großartiger Kaffee ist niemals nur Lebenselixier. Er ist ein Geschichtenerzähler. Er erzählt von der fruchtbaren Erde, auf der er gewachsen ist, von den Händen der Bauern, die ihn mit Sorgfalt pflegen, und von den vielen tausend Kilometern, die er über die Ozeane zurücklegt, bis er schließlich bei uns in der Rösterei in Zwiesel seinen unverkennbaren Duft verströmt.

Deciphering the Coffee Code: What SCA, SHG, EP, AA, Organic & Co. mean

Waldwasser & Coffee: Enjoyment sourced from the Frauenau drinking water reservoir
When we at Kaffeerösterei Kirmse philosophize about the perfect aroma, we usually talk about the origin of the beans, the roast level, and the precision of the grind. In doing so, we often forget the most important actor, which makes up around 98% of a filter coffee: the water. But not just any water. For us here in the Bavarian Forest, there is only one name that stands for purity and quality: waldwasser. Together with part of my team, I set off on a journey that did not lead us to the distant highlands of Ethiopia or the plantations of Colombia. The destination was much closer, right on our doorstep in the heart of the Bavarian Forest. As a National Park partner and passionate craft roasters, we wanted to get to the bottom of the origin of our quality.
