A Matter Of Concrete

A Matter of Concrete — AMOC to friends — is a Rotterdam roaster with one of the best backstories in coffee. Founded in 2021 by Rob Clarijs, a former civil engineer and 2019 Coffee Masters champion, it roasts inside the Van Nelle Factory, once the biggest coffee roastery in Europe and one of the first buildings ever built from concrete. Hence the name, and hence the approach: data-driven, technical, precise, obsessive about transparency. Alongside their own roasted coffee they curate brewing gear from the likes of Hario and Fellow. If you like your specialty coffee clever and exacting, AMOC delivers.
