Populus Coffee

Based in Berlin, Populus Coffee is a specialty roaster sourcing and roasting single origin coffees from Peru, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Honduras. Their style leans bright and clean—think juicy Perus, floral Ethiopians, and well-structured espressos. New coffees drop regularly, and they even sell "Work in Progress" trial roasts from their quest to perfect each profile. Head roaster Ellie won German Roasting Champion 2026—the first non-binary and first non-cis male champion—and is competing at Worlds in Brussels. A monthly subscription keeps your cupboard stocked. The roastery sits at Naumburger Straße 4 in Berlin, though there's no cafe to visit. Just great beans, thoughtfully roasted.
