European Roasters for February

Lucid – Belfast, Northern Ireland

Stephen Houston, a celebrated name in the coffee industry, is back for his second Coffeevine feature with Lucid, his Belfast-based roastery launched in 2023. Stephen, known for his kind spirit and expertise, is a former Irish Brewers Cup Champion and secured second place in the UK Roasting Championships 2023.

For February, Lucid presents two delightful coffees:

•Filter: A vibrant Pacamara from Finca Las Brisas, Colombia.

Each coffee is roasted to perfection, showcasing Stephen’s mastery and commitment to quality.

Kafferäven – Gothenburg, Sweden

Founded by Per Nordby, Kafferäven combines a passion for sourcing exceptional coffees with deep-rooted relationships with trusted partners. Named after the Arctic fox, known for its acute sense of smell, this roastery is also an importer of fine coffees.

Global Roasters for February

Metric – Chicago, USA

When we launched our Global Selection, Metric was one of the first names on my wishlist. This Chicago-based roastery caught my eye with its sleek branding, vibrant Instagram presence, and exceptional coffees. After pitching the idea to co-founder Xavier Alexander, he enthusiastically joined the journey.

Founded in 2013 in Chicago’s West Fulton, Metric has evolved from a small café to a major player in the specialty coffee scene. Known for its collaborations with fashion brands, creative ventures, and its in-house magazine, Metric embodies the art of coffee culture.

For February, Metric offers a honey-processed Costa Rican coffee from Don Eli—a delightful treat for filter coffee fans.

Quietly Coffee – Stirling, Canada

Quietly Coffee makes its much-anticipated return for the February edition! First featured in 2019 as part of a Canadian special, this Ontario-based roastery has been on our radar for a comeback ever since.

Founded by Lee Knutilla, Quietly Coffee operates from a serene countryside setting where Lee and his team meticulously source and roast exceptional coffees. After upgrading their equipment last year, they’re back in action with a stunning Honduran coffee from Las Faldas. Sweet, juicy, and elegant—this coffee is a crowd-pleaser.

Paul Ross, a two-time UK Barista Champion and World Barista Finalist, has been a staple of the British specialty coffee scene for years. With stints at Origin Coffee and Kiss The Hippo, Paul has now built something truly special with his own brand, Special Guests.

Decaf Roaster for February

D Stands for Decaf – Vienna, Austria

Decaf drinkers, rejoice! Introducing D Stands for Decaf, a Vienna-based roastery founded by Miriam Boubachta. Inspired by her own caffeine intolerance during pregnancy, Miriam turned her quest for great decaf into a mission. Roasting fresh, high-quality decaf lots on her Stronghold roaster, Miriam has set a new standard for decaf coffee.

For her first Coffeevine feature, D Stands for Decaf offers a surprisingly delicious Colombian decaf from El Vergel, proving that decaf can be every bit as satisfying as regular coffee.
