Colombia Decaf

Annette and Mario Rose opened Elstermühle in November 2018 in Leipzig's Bachviertel neighbourhood, bringing a distinctive roasting philosophy to the city's growing specialty scene. Their approach centers on the principle that "the first is better," ending every roast after the first crack rather than pushing to the second, yielding golden brown beans with fine fruity notes and naturally low acidity. Every batch is roasted by hand in small quantities and packed into aluminum free aroma bags, maintaining a hands on artisanal process from start to finish. They source green coffee from origins including Colombia, and celebrate Leipzig's deep coffee house heritage through their Leipziger Käffchen blend. Monthly limited edition "Coffee of the Month" releases keep the offering fresh, while the on site cafe lets visitors watch the roasting unfold in real time.
