Operating from Montferrier sur Lez near Montpellier, Montista draws on more than fifteen years of specialty coffee experience to pioneer an innovative model called Co Roasting. This collaborative approach opens the roastery as a shared space where aspiring roasters and coffee professionals can develop their craft alongside experienced practitioners. The concept transforms the traditionally solitary act of roasting into a community driven endeavor, fostering knowledge exchange and creative experimentation. Educational workshops round out the offering, giving participants hands on experience with every stage of the roasting process. Montista's commitment to sustainable practices and inclusivity has positioned them as a unique force in the French specialty coffee scene, proving that great roasting can also be a collective pursuit.
