Get To Know Us

About

With our coffee roastery, we make the countless varieties of the coffee plant tangible for you. All have their own characteristics that vary depending on the growing region and microclimate. It's a bit like grape vines: each variety brings its own natural aromas that significantly influence the taste and character of your coffee.

We bring out this variety of flavors through our precise roasting. We consciously avoid the majority of the very dominant, classic roasting aromas that only arise after very long or hot roasting. The result is coffees that taste very different and therefore always surprise. Do you love coffee? Try our beans!

The Start

That's how it all started

In 2014, Aurore and Philip opened Café Marcel in Freiburg's city park, and Mats joined them shortly after. Their goal was to bring delicious espresso with finely frothed milk to Freiburg. In their small café, the two started with the most essential equipment: a high-quality grinder and an espresso machine. Soon after, they also became enthusiastic about the sweet and fruity notes of lighter roasted, single-origin coffees. A second coffee grinder was needed to properly share this passion with their customers.

The coffee beans used to come from various small and medium-sized roasters in Germany and Europe. Their enthusiasm for coffee quickly turned into a passion. So, in the spring of 2018, the three of them founded Günter Coffee Roasters. They wanted to roast coffee according to their own specifications. It's served at Merianstrasse 8 in Freiburg's old town from 10:00 Monday through Friday , and Saturdays from 9:00 to 18:00 o'clock. 17:00

GREEN COFFEE

Quality and growing conditions at a glance

We source our green coffees from selected retailers who are dedicated to specialty coffee. It is important to us that our partners not only keep an eye on the special quality of the coffee beans but also the entire supply chain. This means that we get detailed information about how the coffee is grown and the coffee farmers can build long-term relationships. We also source some of our coffees directly from the farms in order to achieve the greatest possible transparency about the growing conditions. You can find out more in our article on coffee trading.

We roast all coffees on our 15 kg drum roaster from Giesen. In order to continually develop, we record every roasting process and taste the freshly roasted coffees in our weekly quality control, cupping. This means that every roast always tastes exactly how it should taste.
