Kaffeerösterei

What Kaffeerösterei does

Webbster Coffee GmbH, operating as Kaffeerösterei (Webbster), is a privately held German specialty coffee roastery founded in 2011 and headquartered in Jugenheim with a Saturday-only retail outlet in Stadecken-Elsheim. The company roasts coffee in-house using the traditional Trommelröstverfahren (drum roasting) in small batches, sourcing single-origin Arabica and Robusta green coffees from countries including Costa Rica, Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua, India, Mexico, Vietnam, and Colombia, often imported directly and supplemented by FAIRTRADE-certified routes. Its portfolio covers roughly ten single-origin coffees, two espresso blends (Classic 60/40 and Premium 90/10), an award-winning Be Coffee liqueur, and PachaMama chocolate-covered coffee beans.

Webbster serves three horizontal customer segments — gastronomic/HoReCa businesses, corporate offices, and private coffee connoisseurs — through a hybrid direct-to-consumer motion combining the physical roastery, a webbster.de online shop with nationwide DHL GoGreen delivery, and WhatsApp ordering. Pricing is unit-based with volume discounts (€7.80–€9.90 per 250g pack; €26–€33.30 per kilogram). The company is founder-led, with Marco Weber as sole Geschäftsführer, employs approximately six people, and operates without disclosed external funding or institutional investors.

Revenue derives almost entirely from one-time product sales rather than subscriptions or recurring contracts, with no public revenue disclosure and no M&A, funding, or leadership transitions on record. Strategic positioning emphasizes artisanal craft, freshness guarantee, and direct customer consultation rather than scale or automation.
