It provides an open platform for professional exchange, joint tasting of new coffees and discussions on current topics in the roasting and coffee industry.In a collegial atmosphere, roasters of various sizes come together to share their experiences, discuss challenges and gain new inspiration for their work. Each Stammtisch is dedicated to a central topic, which is explored in depth through presentations, expert contributions or cuppings. The focus is on technological developments as well as economic and sensory aspects of roasting.
A special feature of the Rösterstammtisch is the open discussion among peers. Whether it's new green coffees, changing market conditions, innovative roasting profiles or business management issues, the event provides a space for questions, ideas and practical solutions.
The format is aimed at professional roasters who want to develop their skills, expand their network and benefit from the experience of others.
