Marta and Philip found each other through a shared passion for coffee, and after years working in the industry, they moved to Ystad in southern Sweden to open the town's first micro roastery in 2015. The open roastery concept invites customers to drink coffee, talk about coffee, and browse brewing accessories in a space that doubles as workshop and shop. Signature blends stay on the menu year round, but their contents rotate with the seasons, as do single origin offerings chosen for what is freshest and most interesting at any given time. Kompass also conducts business in coffee consultation, media production, and music, reflecting the founders' varied interests. The roastery ships within a week of ordering and operates on a philosophy that puts farmer, planet, and taste in equal standing. As Philip has put it, life is too long not to drink good coffee.
