Fjord Coffee Roasters is a renowned Berlin-based roastery whose mission is to discover and convey the most exotic and pure flavour profiles of fine coffee. Thanks to its close cooperation with farmers and its precise approach to roasting, it ranks among the absolute European leaders that define modern coffee culture.
Strong partnerships and pragmatic decisions were behind the creation of the roastery. It was founded in 2016 by Morgan Love (co-founder of the iconic Silo Coffee), Kresten Thøgersen (founder of the renowned Father Carpenter) and James Maguire. The original idea was born out of a need to provide top quality coffee for their own businesses in Berlin - instead of each roasting their own coffee, they decided to combine their expertise and build a joint brand. This move allowed them to focus fully on uncompromising quality and sustainability throughout the supply chain, from farm to cup.
Today, Fjord Coffee's main focus is on wholesale collaboration and educating coffee enthusiasts. Their roasting philosophy is based on a deep respect for the farmers' work; they strive not to influence the beans, but only to "enhance" their natural character. They use a unique combination of conduction and convection roasting on a Probat cast iron machine, which allows them to experiment and bring to market limited editions whose complexity fascinates baristas and home coffee lovers around the world.
Coffees from Fjord Coffee Roasters
Blackberry, mango, hibiscus
Kenya Gathaithi AA
Fjord Coffee RoastersKenyan coffee from the Nyeri region is an absolute classic on the specialty coffee scene. This lot from the Gathaithi Cooperative is a perfect example of a simple name hiding something truly exceptional.
The Gathaithi Coffee Growers Cooperative Society was founded in 2000 and brings together approximately 1,600 smallholder farmers working on the slopes of Mount Kenya in the Tetu region. The AA grade denotes the largest bean size on the Kenyan market—and it is precisely this size that guarantees exceptional clarity and intensity in the cup. Harvesting takes place from September through mid-January, with each batch undergoing careful washed processing. The varieties grown here are legends of Kenyan coffee breeding—SL28 and SL34 from Scott Laboratories, supplemented by a smaller proportion of the more resilient Ruiru 11 and Batian varieties. It is precisely SL28 and SL34 that are responsible for that typical Nyeri character: dark fruit, floral acidity, and dense sweetness. The Berlin roastery Fjord Coffee Roasters roasts it light for filter brewing so that the profile remains clean, structured, and free of unnecessary bitterness. In the cup, blackberry and hibiscus make their presence known first; as the coffee cools, the juicy sweetness of mango comes through. This is exactly the kind of Kenyan that makes you fall in love with specialty coffee forever.

This specialty coffee from the Gathaithi Coffee Growers Cooperative combines the SL28 and SL34 varieties—legends of Kenyan coffee renowned for their exceptional quality in the cup—with the more resilient Ruiru 11 and Batian varieties. The result is an espresso with a crisp blackberry acidity that gradually gives way to a sweetness reminiscent of ripe mango, rounded out by the delicate floral notes of hibiscus. The shot remains sweet and well-rounded even as it cools, and when combined with milk, it evolves into a berry-and-cream profile.
