What could be better than the intoxicating aroma of freshly brewed coffee on a rainy January afternoon? With the arrival of August 63 in Mitte, you can savor Berlin’s finest coffee and bring home the highest quality roasts. From the tangy-sweet Costa Rican filter “Los Cipresses” to the nutty-chocolatey espresso “Communidade Serra Nova” from Brazil, the roastery offers a selection of seven sophisticated specialty coffees. But it doesn’t stop with the fantastic flavors of the beans, all lovingly roasted in Berlin; the producers are hand selected with care. Managing Director Ken Braz emphasizes sustainable trade and absolute transparency of origin. Their online store explains each product individually and provides insight into its sourcing and production as well as the specifics of its region of origin. It is precisely this dedication that ensures their beans’ quality and the fact that all their coffees have been awarded high cupping scores – the rating system of the Specialty Coffee Association. Our show stopper was The Ethiopian “Dikitu Lot#1”, which will catapult you into seventh heaven with its floral aromas and subtle raspberry notes. Not convinced yet? You can sample the entire range at ice cream shop Spoonful’s coffee pop-up at Auguststraße 63 in Mitte until the end of February.
