Our coffees are roasted according to Venetian coffee roasting tradition with beech wood in drum roasters , in separate quantities of 60kg each .
Beechwood roasting creates a natural, dry heat and enhances the aromas in the beans. The result is less acid in the coffee, a soft and mild taste and more crema (coffee foam).
Since sustainability is very important to us, we use a CO2-neutral wood fire for roasting.
The costs of roasting with beech wood are about twice as high as roasting with electricity or gas, but the quality of the product is superior to all others.

Roasting coffee with gas heaters results in a moist heat, whereas with electric heaters it results in a very dry heat. Wood produces a natural, dry heat . The main difference between wood and conventional gas and electric roasters is the quality of the wood heat and the roasting time .
While conventional roasters need about 15 to 18 minutes (industrial roasters at 900 degrees only 2 minutes), drum roasters with wood fire take up to 25 minutes .

The roasting process with beech wood takes up to 25 minutes
The moisture in the beech wood creates what is known as gentle heat, stopping the drying phase of the roasting process. This extends the entire roasting process, preserving the natural lipids inside and leaving significantly more natural oil in the beans themselves.
We roast our coffee in a family-run roastery in Northern Italy . Once or twice a month we bring the freshly roasted coffee beans in our warehouses to Vienna and Korneuburg .
