Area 51 is a Greek specialty roaster, based around Athens and going since 2016. The focus is single origin, specialty-grade arabica — think Colombia, Ethiopia, Brazil and Costa Rica, each roasted to show off where it's from, with a chocolatey, hazelnutty Brazil among the crowd-pleasers. It's an artisan-scale operation built on the idea of introducing more people to properly good coffee and building genuine relationships along the way. You can get it as whole beans or capsules, and they run barista training and wholesale on the side. A friendly entry point if you're exploring single origin specialty coffee from Greece.
