03 Roastery
Why Kranlicht-ND?
When we fire up the roaster at five in the morning, it is still dark outside. The only light comes from the cranes on the other side of the harbour basin.
Hence the name, which means crane light. We roast batch by batch on a small drum roaster and taste every roast before it goes into the bag. Then the beans rest for two days so the aroma can develop.
- 5:00am, the first roast starts
- 12 kgper batch, never more
- 48 hresting time before sale
