CoffeeLab

What CoffeeLab does

CoffeeLab is a specialty coffee roaster headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, operating as a civil partnership (s.c.) founded by Monika Pisańska-Gawryś, Piotr Gawryś, and Tomasz Wagner. The company roasts single-origin and blended coffees across espresso, filter, omniroast, and cascara profiles, complemented by two proprietary sub-brands — BREWLAB (Floral, Fruity, Candy filter lines in 500g packaging) and MAGIC BEANS (curated light-roast single origins with unusual varieties and processing methods). The product mix also includes Harney & Sons teas, Oatly Barista Edition plant-based beverages, ACME Ceramics porcelain, brewing equipment (Hario V60, Bialetti moka pots, kettles, tampers), chocolates, gift vouchers, and curated gift sets, totaling 137 SKUs.

The underlying operation is a fresh-roast model with roastery output five days per week and no inventory stockpiling, located at ul. Bruszewska 28, Warsaw. Distribution runs through a domestic e-commerce storefront (coffeelab.pl) with Przelewy24/PayPro payment processing, InPost parcel lockers and DHL courier for delivery (free above 149 PLN domestic, 449 PLN EU), a physical café called Coffee LAB at ul. Wspólna 70 for in-person sales and order pickup, and a B2B direct-sales channel serving cafés and restaurants with white-label coffee, equipment procurement, and barista training. Educational revenue is generated through coffee training courses (espresso preparation, cappuccino, drip brewing) conducted at the roastery for both individuals and corporate clients.

The business is entirely founder-owned with no external institutional capital, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Headcount is approximately 15, and the company is registered as COFFEELAB Monika Pisańska-Gawryś, Piotr Gawryś, Tomasz Wagner s.c. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of venture or growth-equity funding, M&A activity, regulatory actions, or AI/ML capability. The customer base is split between individual home-barista consumers purchasing through e-commerce and a portfolio of B2B hospitality accounts served via direct sales, with 18+ customer logos featured on the website's trust panel.

Core offering

CoffeeLab is a specialty coffee roaster in Warsaw that sources single-origin beans from global plantations and roasts them to order, five days a week, in multiple profiles (espresso, filter, omniroast, cascara) plus proprietary sub-brands (BrewLab and Magic Beans). It sells roasted coffee directly to consumers through its own e-commerce store and a physical café, complemented by curated accessories (brewing equipment, ACME ceramics, Harney & Sons teas, plant-based beverages, chocolates) and a B2B division supplying cafés and restaurants with white-label coffee, equipment, and barista training.

Product overview

CoffeeLab is a specialty coffee roaster based in Warsaw operating as an e-commerce platform with a physical roastery. The core offering centers on roasted coffee products across multiple roast profiles: espresso (dark roasted for pressure machines), filter/omniroast (lighter roasts for pour-over methods), and specialty lines. Two branded sub-lines extend the portfolio: BREWLAB (filter-focused 500g bags with flavor profiles like Floral, Fruity, Candy) and MAGIC BEANS (light-roast single-origin rarities with unusual processing). The business complements its coffee range with plant-based beverages (Oatly Barista Edition), Harney & Sons teas, ACME CERAMICS porcelain cups, and barista accessories (filters, drippers, tampers, kettles). Training courses and B2B supply programs serve professional and commercial customers. The platform operates as a standard e-commerce storefront without API access or AI/ML capabilities.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Illy: Italian espresso-focused coffee company with broad retail, foodservice, and training programs (Università del Caffè). Wide-portfolio incumbent that competes in the same cafe-supply and consumer coffee category.
• Blue Bottle Coffee: Globally scaled specialty coffee brand with own cafes, e-commerce, and wholesale. Operates broadly in the same third-wave space with overlapping capabilities (light-roast single origins, training, retail).
• Counter Culture Coffee: US specialty coffee roaster with a broad single-origin portfolio, sustainability focus, and wholesale/training programs for cafes. Larger-scale incumbent offering overlapping capabilities rather than specializing in a single niche.
• Lavazza: Global Italian coffee manufacturer with retail, foodservice, and capsule offerings. A large incumbent operating across the same broader coffee category and competing for cafe supply contracts.

Direct peers

• Hard Beans Coffee Roasters: Polish specialty coffee roaster offering single-origin beans, light roast profiles, and B2B/wholesale services to cafes. Closely mirrors CoffeeLab's specialty roasting, single-origin focus, and cafe-supply model in the same Polish market.
• Java Coffee Roasters: Warsaw-based specialty coffee roaster serving home baristas and cafes with roasted coffee and barista training. Directly overlaps CoffeeLab's specialty roasting, training, and Warsaw-centric operating geography.
• Square Mile Coffee Roasters: London-based specialty roaster known for single-origin coffees, light roast profiles, training, and wholesale supply to cafes. Closely comparable product philosophy (third-wave, light roasts, training-supported wholesale) even though UK-based.
• Konesso: Polish specialty coffee roaster and e-commerce retailer selling single origins, blends, equipment, and accessories to both consumers and HoReCa. Comparable in product range, dual B2C/B2B motion, and Polish market positioning.

Others

• Oatly: Plant-based beverage brand whose Barista Edition CoffeeLab distributes. Adjacent/partner relationship via the cafe and home-barista channel; not a direct coffee competitor.
• Harney & Sons: Premium tea brand whose products CoffeeLab resells. Adjacent/partner relationship: same premium specialty channel but in tea rather than direct coffee competition.
