About
Welcome to Drop Coffee Roasters! We’re a forward-thinking, independent specialty coffee roastery and café based in Stockholm, Sweden.
At Drop Coffee, we’re committed to carefully sourcing and producing the highest quality coffee on the planet. We focus on the best of the best – coffees we truly love and have acquired from experts we trust, admire and know personally.
We firmly believe that our roasts can only be as good as the raw beans we source, and that full transparency in coffee trade and business practices is essential to the long-term viability of the entire industry. As such we regularly visit all of the producers we work with abroad and, by tirelessly seeking out the choicest beans and distributing risk evenly across the entire supply chain, we proudly pay several times more than the commodity price for all the coffee we purchase.
We only roast to order, in small batches of 8-16 kg, as this not only ensures freshness, but also zero waste. We pay detailed attention to sweetness, clarity and vibrancy so every coffee’s distinct origin and individual personality shines through. From start to finish, we’re dedicated to the meticulous standards we set for ourselves in sustainability, flavour, and craftsmanship. For us, every drop counts.
BACKGROUND
Drop Coffee was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2009 as a coffee bar near Mariatorget focused on serving tasty coffee. A year later, we started roasting on a 1kg roaster in the back of our shop. In 2012, we made the leap to a 25kg Diedrich roaster and moved production into a dedicated facility to begin supplying wholesale customers. In 2013, Drop Coffee became the official supplier of Kalita brewing equipment in Sweden, and we’ve been brewing together ever since.
In 2018, we relocated our roastery to Rosersberg, just north of Stockholm, where we currently operate as a certified organic roaster. Our coffee bar remains in its original location, although it has gradually expanded in size to accommodate our growing customer base.
Today, Joanna Alm and Stephen Leighton are co-owners of Drop Coffee and run the company with help from a small but mighty team of skilled roasters and baristas. Joanna is a three-time Swedish Coffee Roasting Champion who has repeatedly ranked among the top three roasters in the world. She also authored the book Manifest För Bättre Kaffe (Manifest for Better Coffee).
