Käfer Caffè Espresso Forte

Based in Breitengüßbach, Bavaria, Minges Kaffee has been crafting traditional German roasts since 1932. This third-generation family roastery uses a slow, gentle drum-roasting process—up to twenty minutes at max 210°C—to develop deep, harmonious flavors with notably low acidity. Their lineup spans whole bean, ground coffee, and pods across three brands: Minges, Käfer, and Alvorada. Prices are refreshingly reasonable, with one-kilo bags hovering around €15. They run a factory outlet on-site in Breitengüßbach for locals, and their coffee ships across Germany. No hype, no fuss—just solid traditional coffee roasting passed down through three generations.
