Hafenblick Coffee Roastery
Our Coffee
At our roastery in Hamburg, we roast coffee in small batches 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 perfect 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 the respective bean are well brought out.
If you are unsure which roast suits you, we are 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 way, the aroma stays fresh and can be traced all the way into your cup.
Our beans are available whole or, if you prefer, ground to suit your brewing method. Freshly roasted coffee develops its aroma best when enjoyed soon 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 ripen under optimal 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 are happy to explain to you where each coffee comes from and what makes it special.
Preparation
Whether it's espresso, filter coffee, or French Press – the right preparation brings out the best in every roast.
-
Espresso
Prepared under pressure, this results in a concentrated coffee with a dense crema – ideal for espresso, cappuccino, and latte.
-
Filter Coffee
Pouring hot water highlights the delicate aromas particularly clearly – 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.
