Beanatic Coffee Roasters is a specialty roastery near Zurich, born from more than 20 years of experience in IT and a growing obsession with coffee. The name fuses "bean" and "fanatic," and the team embraces that identity fully. They roast on two induction drum roasters, working exclusively with specialty grade green coffee and refining each batch with care. The roastery is driven by an ongoing pursuit of new coffees, new technologies, and new approaches to the craft. For Beanatic, quality has to be present from the raw bean onward. The result is a focused operation that treats roasting as both science and sensory art.
