Hafenblick Coffee Roastery
Our Coffee
In our roastery in Hamburg, we roast coffee in small batches and with great care. On this page, we provide an overview of our coffee varieties and roasts, the beans, their origin, and home preparation.
Coffee Varieties and Roasts
Our assortment includes a range of different coffees – from strong, dark roasted blends to fruitier, lighter roasted coffees from single origin regions. There's a suitable roast for every cup.
The roast level significantly determines the taste. A lighter roast emphasizes the natural sweetness and fruitiness of the bean, while a darker roast brings more body and strong, chocolatey notes. We roast each batch so that the unique characteristics of each bean are well brought out.
If you are unsure which roast suits you, we would be happy to advise you – whether for espresso, filter coffee, or French press.
Our Beans
We work with carefully selected green coffees, which we purchase as whole beans and roast in-house. This keeps the aroma fresh and traceable right into the cup.
Our beans are available whole or, if desired, ground for you – suitable for your preparation method. Freshly roasted coffee best develops its aroma when enjoyed promptly after opening.
Origin of the Beans
Coffee grows around the equator, in high altitudes with warm climates and sufficient rain. Our green coffees come from various growing regions where the beans mature under good conditions.
Origin, climate, and soil shape the taste of a bean. For this reason, we focus on continuity of origin and getting to know individual coffees, so that you can rediscover the character of the different growing regions in your cup.
Upon request, we would be happy to explain where each coffee comes from and what makes it special.
Preparation
Whether espresso, filter coffee, or French press – the right preparation brings out the best in every roast.
-
Espresso
Prepared under pressure, it creates a concentrated coffee with a dense crema – ideal for espresso, cappuccino, and latte.
-
Filter Coffee
Pouring with hot water particularly clarifies the delicate aromas – a good choice for single origin coffees.
-
French Press
The full immersion in the pot results in a full-bodied coffee, preserving the natural oils of the bean.
