Still Coffee Roasters

More About Still Coffee Roasters

Still Coffee Roasters is a coffee roastery from Den Haag. The company is publicly linked to founders Sabri and Bandria. No publicly documented information is available regarding the exact founding year. Available business information emphasizes origin, the roasting process, and a small team surrounding the roastery.

The founders describe their backgrounds in data science and engineering. This expertise is reflected in how Still Coffee Roasters explains their craft. The roastery speaks in terms of measuring, logging, testing, and adjusting. At the same time, taste is cited as the final check in the process. As a result, the company presents roasting not just as technical work, but as a sensory evaluation.

Origins and Approach

In their public description, Still Coffee Roasters links their origin to a search for space. Coffee is described as a ritual connected to place, season, and personal attention. While this phrasing provides context for the brand name, it doesn’t replace a factual founding date. For readers, it primarily clarifies who the founders are and where the roastery is located.

The company appears to be compactly organized. In their own explanation of sourcing and roasting, they refer to a two-person operation. No separate public roles were found for a head roaster or other employees, nor is there a broader team overview publicly documented.

Roasting Process and Quality Control

Still Coffee Roasters describes a process where every coffee begins with a sample roast. Green coffee is checked for defects. After roasting, quakers are removed. Furthermore, the roastery documents cupping notes, roast curves, and first-crack times. These details point to a workflow where meticulous registration is standard.

The specific production roaster isn’s full specifications aren’t listed on the official website. However, a production note found outside the main site refers to a Hive Roaster, though this doesn’t constitute a full equipment declaration. It is publicly noted that Still Coffee Roasters roasts on Saturdays and ships on Sundays or Mondays.

The official collection includes, among others, Mystery Coffee, Mutana Hill, El Diviso Ombligon, San Pedro W, San Pedro N, ANAYA LOT03, Janson GNA 1027, Santa Elena, Finca Zarza, Abu GW3220, Janson GWA 985, Purple Haze, and Abu GW3225.

Still Coffee Roasters also mentions auctions as an emerging sourcing route, citing Janson and La Esmeralda as examples of origin-focused goals.

Sustainability and agricultural information

Public certifications or a waste management policy are not documented. However, some product pages contain information about agricultural practices used by specific producers. The page for San Pedro N mentions that Finca San Pedro covers 40 hectares, 24 of which are used for coffee, while the rest is preserved as a forest reserve.

For Santa Elena, agroforestry with native trees is mentioned as a way to support biodiversity. For ANAYA LOT03, it is noted that Finca Anaya integrates guadua bamboo and fruit trees into the farm environment. This data refers to the production sites rather than a broad sustainability program by the roastery itself.
