What Wildkaffee Rösterei does

Wildkaffee Rösterei (legal entity Wildkaffee GmbH) is a family-owned specialty coffee micro-roastery founded in 2010 by Leonhard and Stefanie Wild, headquartered in Grainau near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany, with approximately 10 employees. The company operates small-batch drum roasting (Trommelröstung) with quality control performed under SCA cupping and scoring protocols, and sources single-origin and blend coffees directly from selected farms and cooperatives across multiple countries of origin (Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and others). It owns the Coffee School Project farm in the Buenos Aires region of El Salvador, which trains local farmers on specialty cultivation and supplies unique traceable project lots. The company sells freshly roasted coffee, espresso, light/medium/dark roast tiers, tasting packs, competition-grade Brewers Cup lots, cold brew, plus complementary tea, wine, equipment, courses, and gift vouchers through a Shopify-based DTC online shop (wild-kaffee.com) with global shipping via DHL/UPS and a 10% Kaffee-Abo subscription discount, a dedicated B2B portal (b2b-wild-kaffee.com) for offices, cafés and gastronomy, the Wildkaffee Café flagship and a second Wildkaffee am Kurpark location in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and approximately nine regional retail partners in the Bavarian market. Wildkaffee has no external funding rounds, no disclosed revenue, and is entirely founder-owned and operated; in 2023 it was awarded 'Beste Kaffeerösterei Deutschlands' by Crema Magazin.
