Gwatemala Santa Rosa Espresso

Java Coffee launched in Warsaw in 2001 under the leadership of CEO Glen Gregory, who directed the brand toward specialty roasting with a slogan that became its defining statement: Good Coffee Is A Human Right. The company achieved organic certification in 2007 and began offering single origin light roasts around 2010, a progression that reflected the broader evolution of the Polish coffee market from commodity espresso toward specialty awareness. In 2013 Java launched Java University, its barista training program, and opened a roasting plant in Serbia in the same year, extending its operations internationally from its Warsaw roastery on Palisadowa. The company also developed the Youbean automated coffee vending system, an innovation that ran until 2019 and demonstrated Java's willingness to experiment with how specialty coffee could be delivered outside the traditional cafe format. Java Coffee's two decade trajectory from early Warsaw cafe to international roasting operation with organic certification and its own training academy makes it one of the longest running and most structurally ambitious specialty brands in Poland.
