ETHIOPIA Hambella

7edmitchka was founded in 2018 by siblings Ondrej and Andrea Mišovičovci in the small northwestern Slovak city of Dubnica nad Váhom, where their cafe and roastery sits among post socialist residential blocks. Ondrej, a former hockey player who spent part of his career in America, and Andrea, who came from the hospitality industry, had little coffee experience but drew deep inspiration from Scandinavian roasters and their pursuit of clean, clear flavor without unwanted bitterness. The roastery focuses on light to medium roasts of single origin and blended coffees, all roasted on site and distributed to cafes across Slovakia and Czechia. One of the operation's most distinctive features is its rPET bottle packaging system, where customers pay a deposit that is included in the coffee price and return the refillable bottles to be resealed and sent back into circulation.
