The high quality is appreciated by many people, restaurants and companies.
Special Roasting Method
The Switzerland wide unique method creates a high-quality product. It needs a lot of experience to roast the coffee beans over an open fire. The whole production of the day is destroyed in case the beans burn. Especially relevant for about an hour the highly concentrated staff focuses on different indicators. The sound the beans make in the cast sphere, the colour and the smoke generation. To make sure the colour is always the same the beans need to be inspected always in the same light. Moreover, the roasting process is not finished by taking the beans out of the sphere. The beans are still hot and that needs to be considered too.
