The roaster

The Barn

The Barn is a Berlin-headquartered specialty coffee roaster on a mission to roast the best coffees on the planet. They run cafes in Berlin, Munich, and Seoul. Their lineup spans filter, espresso, and decaf with a particular love for Ethiopian single origins — Genesis, their core Ethiopian coffee, delivers peach and chocolate. Seasonal releases like Kayon Mountain from Guji bring juicy, sugary, iced-tea brightness. Subscriptions send two new single origins monthly. Bundles sorted by flavor profile — sweet, funky, Ethiopian — make exploration easy. Named Roaster of the Year 2025, they're clearly doing something right.
