Schvarz Kaffee

About This Coffee

This 70/30 blend is inspired by espresso from Florence (FLR airport code). It is the strongest roast in the product line, emphasizing spicy and full-bodied components while remaining chocolatey and low in acidity. The blend consists of 70% Brazil from Cerrado Mineiro region in Minas Gerais at 750-1,000 meters altitude, processed naturally, using Catuai variety. The remaining 30% is India from Karnataka region at 1,200 meters altitude, washed processed, from smallholder cooperatives. The coffee particularly unfolds its full potential as espresso or café creme.

Schvarz Kaffee

Arthur Fuchs and Erkan Karakaya founded Schvarz Kaffee in 2015 in Düsseldorf's Flingern Nord district, establishing their roastery inside the historic Alte Farbwerke industrial complex. The team sources beans directly from small farms and cooperatives with a focus on long standing relationships, sustainability, and fair pricing across multiple origin countries. Their creative identity shines through blend names inspired by airport codes: VRN for Verona, FLR for Florence, LAX for Los Angeles, and DUS for their home city. Head of Coffee Luthfan Satrio Pradipto, an Indonesian coffee professional, won the 2024 German Brewers Cup Championship and represented Germany at the World Brewers Cup in Chicago that same year. Fuchs and Karakaya also co founded QUBE, an Indonesian specialty coffee importer, further deepening their connection to origin and giving Schvarz an unusually direct pipeline to exceptional Southeast Asian coffees.
