Roestkaffee Origins Gmbh

What Roestkaffee Origins Gmbh does

Roestkaffee Origins GmbH is a privately held specialty coffee roastery headquartered in Oberasbach near Nuremberg, Germany, founded by Colombian-German co-founders David (Röstmeister/Master Roaster) and Iván (Head Barista). The company hand-roasts specialty coffees sourced through direct-trade relationships with farmers in Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, and Uganda, and offers espresso blends, single-origin filter coffees, sample packs, gift sets, and complementary items such as drinking chocolate and Panela sugar. Its technical core is a hand-roasting process in which roasting temperature and time are individually adapted to each raw bean to extract full aroma.

The business operates a diversified omnichannel model. Distribution spans a company-owned Shopify e-commerce store, a flagship roastery and café in Oberasbach, and a second café in Schwabach. Revenue streams include one-time specialty coffee sales, recurring subscriptions (delivered via ReCharge with a 5% subscriber discount and up to 30% bulk discount), café food and beverage, B2B office coffee solutions (beans, machine sale/rental, service contracts), event catering with mobile coffee bar service, corporate gifting, barista workshops (€100-€120 per person), machine sales covering Rocket, ECM, Profitec, Quick Mill, NIVONA, Moccamaster and Eureka brands, and a machine repair workshop.

Customer segments are hybrid: individual coffee enthusiasts served through D2C and retail are primary, while B2B corporate clients in the Nuremberg metropolitan area form a secondary stream. Marketing combines website content, Instagram, email newsletters with a 10% first-order incentive, and experiential workshops. The company also operates a co-branded collaboration with Liebesbotschaft (Joanna) producing espresso, filter, and decaf variants. As a founder-owned GmbH with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or headcount data, Roestkaffee remains an independent regional specialty player.
