Loppokaffee

Loppokaffee sources every bean directly from cooperatives in the country of origin, exclusively in organic quality, and backs that claim with a practice most roasters describe but few detail: staff travel to partner farms every year to visit growers in person rather than sourcing through a single importer relationship. The company is a member of Roasters United, a European network of specialty roasters, which connects its direct-trade sourcing to a wider community of operators working the same model rather than treating it as a proprietary practice. The 2025 catalogue runs single origins from Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, Brazil, Honduras, and Ethiopia, plus a decaf option and a house blend for anyone who wants a fixed everyday profile instead of a rotating single origin. Two locations serve the beans: the original roastery on Grasweg, in a converted workshop space where customers can drink a coffee and buy beans on-site, and a second outlet inside Kiel's Kulturspeicher, open longer hours across the full week. Loppokaffee also publishes an annual transparency report — the 2025 edition is the latest in a series — laying out its farmer relationships and sustainability practices for anyone who wants to check the sourcing claims against documented specifics rather than a general statement of intent.
