• An espressionist and an espressophile went in search of the perfect espresso. So they tested every flavor, roast and blend imaginable, from the classic to the rare, from the most expensive to the cheapest, from the extra strong to the caffeine-free. But none of them met her taste absolutely and two hundred percent. So they decided to stop searching and start finding: the Röstlabor was born.

  • We strive for the highest quality standards in both our products and our services. Our small specialty coffee roastery sources and roasts some of the best coffees in the world.

    Transparent fair trade, long-standing relationships with the same producers, and pesticide-free cultivation are important to us.

    Our goal is to reduce and improve both our environmental impact and our social impact on the communities that produce our coffee.

    Our coffee is freshly roasted and delivered quickly.

  • Weily

    As an industrial climber, he has turned his hobby into a career. As a passionate espresso drinker, he likes to do things right and has therefore trained as a barista and roaster. Procedure: Creative, surprising and tasting until his knees tremble.

  • Yves

    As a scientist, he permeates the world with his intellect: he sees everything in numbers and statistics, an unsolved problem gives him no peace, both in climbing and in programming. But the perfect espresso is a matter of the heart - which is approached analytically.

  • Ueli

    No bean gets past the employee of the year unroasted. As an espresso «myth buster», he checks every new rumor that circulates among roasters. That's pretty exhausting. That's why Ueli often goes to Ecuador - and watches the coffee grow there.

  • We push our Giesen W15E (15kg) electric roaster and IKAWA Pro sample roaster to their limits.

    We experiment, sample, blend, and heat until we drop. And then we start all over again.

  • But when we have found a perfect taste experience – we reproduce it for our customers time and time again in exactly the same way. That's why we continuously document every single roasting parameter with the Artisan software.

    And, of course, we check the result of every roast. Among other things, by determining and comparing the color using a true-color sensor. Much more precisely than any human eye – thanks to the innovators at Tonino.

  • Here, every bean receives our full attention and care. Because that is precisely the strength of a small roastery that roasts a maximum of twelve kilograms per batch.

  • For our restaurant and office clients, we roast fresh weekly. And we deliver when the roasted coffee has developed its full aroma. Of course, we are also happy to quickly check the grinders and optimize them for the respective blend.

  • Custom blend means:

    We tailor the espresso precisely to the customer's ideas and wishes. The customer receives a unique product of the highest quality, which they can exclusively offer to their guests. We produce and deliver every custom blend exclusively to its creator.

    Would you also like to shine with your own custom blend? With a minimum order of 20kg per week, we will work with you to develop the exact espresso you've always dreamed of.

    You know how it should taste – we know how to make it. All you need to bring is some time and your taste buds. The Röstlabor will take care of everything else.
