LOT61 Roastery

LOT61 Roastery is publicly linked to Archangelkade 17 in Amsterdam, an address in the Westpoort district. Simultaneously, the company presents Kinkerstraat 112 as its primary public location, with Archangelkade 17B as an additional site. This combination suggests a business structure where the roastery in Westpoort is positioned alongside the existing city shop.

In its own brand history, LOT61 uses the phrasing “Born in Sydney. Raised in Brooklyn. Roasting in Amsterdam” and notes that the brand has been “Serving friends since 2003”. Public sources name Adam Craig and Paul Jenner as the founders, describing them as childhood friends from Sydney. Adam Craig is further mentioned as a co-founder who previously ran coffee bars in New York before moving to Amsterdam.

LOT61’s first Amsterdam espresso bar and roastery on the Kinkerstraat opened in 2013, according to public records. One source cites June 1, 2013, as the opening date. For the roastery location on the Archangelkade, no separate opening date has been clearly established in the reviewed sources. In its own communications, the company emphasizes craftsmanship, education, and circularity.

Available public information shows that LOT61 primarily works with its own roasted coffee under the name LOT61 Coffee Roasters. In the reviewed menu and location materials, no other permanent coffee roaster is clearly documented for the Amsterdam roastery and café operations. Consequently, their own roastery is central to both the product range and the company’s presentation.

On its education pages, LOT61 mentions various brewing methods, including AeroPress, French Press, Chemex, espresso, V60, and moka pot. This overview aligns with a specialty coffee approach where both espresso and filter brews have their place. Additionally, the public product and location pages list drinks such as cappuccino, flat white, espresso, filter coffee, cold brew, and matcha.

Several names appear among the publicly listed products. For coffee, LOT61 mentions Bombora, Zimzala, FIVR, and Fresh Water Decaf. For chilled brews, Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Black and Oat Latte Cold Brew Coffee are also listed. Furthermore, matcha products are part of the public offering. An article on production reports that the cold brew is available year-round at the Kinkerstraat café, via the webshop, and at other hospitality venues in Amsterdam.

On the contact page, LOT61 refers to “education workshops and more”. This is elaborated upon in a separate article titled “Brewing with Dani”, where the company mentions workshops for aspiring baristas and hobbyists, including Introduction to Coffee, Barista Skills Foundation, and Home Barista Workshop. According to the text, these sessions take place in groups at the flagship café on the Kinkerstraat or in a private format.

LOT61 also presents itself as a brand that connects coffee with broader cultural programs through events. On the LOT61 Amsterdam Centraal page, the event headings “BREW CREW” and “COFFEE RAVE” appear with the notice “Stay Tuned”. Concrete schedules or fixed dates are missing from the reviewed text. However, the same location page mentions collaborations with local creatives and musicians, centering on craftsmanship, music, and community.

Collaborations with KLABU, Foodlogica, The Hoxton, and ClinkNOORD also appear in the company’s public journal. Regarding ClinkNOORD, it is explicitly mentioned that several training sessions and events were organized together. Additionally, reports surrounding Mastercard Hotelnacht 2025 mention a Ceremonial Matcha Masterclass at LOT61 in DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station. This indicates a programming that goes beyond daily coffee sales.

In its sustainability communications, LOT61 uses circularity as a guiding principle. On its story page, the company describes a mission to become a circular coffee brand. In doing so, it mentions reusable or highly recyclable products and reducing the carbon footprint. Transport, energy, materials, and water are also cited as parts of this approach.

On LinkedIn, LOT61 speaks of ethically sourced specialty coffee from farms that operate with ecological and social sustainability. Furthermore, the company describes an approach aimed at reducing emissions “from seed to cup”. Its own journal also mentions a multi-year partnership with This Side Up, an Amsterdam coffee trader. This collaboration is linked to fairness in the chain, regenerative agriculture, and coffee from an advanced agroforestry system in Ethiopia.

Other public examples concern waste streams and reuse. For instance, it is described that Andres Jara, Roots, Rice & Beans, and the Stadsgroenteboer collect coffee grounds weekly for compost and mulch. According to the text, this material is therefore no longer thrown away. Furthermore, LOT61 mentions a trajectory with Green Insights regarding circular transformation and B-Corp certification, plus a collaboration with Eleanore Troost of Carecups for a reusable takeaway cup. In Dutch hospitality trade press, compostable coffee pads and transport by sailing ship from Brazil and Colombia have also been mentioned.

LOT61 appears in several international and Dutch publications. The Coffeevine wrote about the opening in Amsterdam on June 1, 2013. Global Graphica later that year described the company as an espresso bar and roastery on the Kinkerstraat. In 2021, a Sprudge Maps Spotlight followed. In 2023, LOT61 appeared in an overview of roastery cafés in Amsterdam in Barista Magazine.

For 2024, Dutch attention was given to the opening of LOT61 Amsterdam Centraal Station, including in food and lifestyle media. As formal recognition, the B Corp certification is prominent in both internal and external materials. In the reviewed sources, no separate price list specifically linked to the Westpoort location on the Archangelkade was found. Consequently, the public profiling of that location remains primarily based on address details, company communications, and the broader brand history of LOT61.
