Never just another cup.
When Costas founded his roastery in 2006, his lighter roasting profiles challenged the prevailing approach. He believed exceptional coffees deserved to express their own character.
His work also helped introduce distinctive producers and coffees to Sweden, including coffees from Janson's, Kotowa and Ninety Plus.
Great coffee is about more than the beans. It's also about the way we prepare them.
