Special Coffee Roaster Konstanz

Special Coffee Roaster Konstanz roasts on a drum machine at its Neuwerk workshop on Oberlohnstrasse, using what the company calls "schonende" — gentle — roasting at medium levels rather than fast, high-heat cycles, aiming to preserve rather than mask a lot's flavor profile. Coffee is bought through direct trade, with the roastery stating its sourcing model pays pickers and farms fairly and transparently rather than through a blind wholesale chain, and every batch is roasted to order rather than held as pre-roasted stock — the company states plainly that it prioritizes freshness by roasting "Auftragsbezogen" (per order) instead of in bulk. Beyond selling whole and ground beans by weight, the shop runs training sessions and takes custom roasting commissions, positioning itself as a working roastery rather than a retail-only counter. It also asks customers to bring their own containers for loose-bean purchases, a stated waste-reduction and cost-saving practice rather than a marketing gesture. Physical hours are narrow — Mondays only, 3 to 5pm — with the rest of the business run through email, WhatsApp, and Signal orders, a small-scale, appointment-driven model that matches its emphasis on made-to-order roasting over walk-in retail volume.
