Our Organic Student Café

Maria Hernandez, originally from Colombia, and Andrés Hoyos Gomez, a former McKinsey consultant, founded The Beans on Fire in Paris as a pioneering collaborative roasting space. Their model invites over thirty independent roasters to share their facility, making professional grade equipment accessible to a diverse community of coffee professionals. Operating from two Paris locations at 7 Rue du Général Blaise and 61 Rue des Trois Frères, the roastery functions as both a production hub and an incubator for emerging talent. Their philosophy describes coffee as something "played like jazz," emphasizing improvisation, collaboration, and individual expression within a shared framework. Training and education programs further extend this inclusive vision, making The Beans on Fire a vital institution in the Parisian specialty coffee ecosystem.
