Röstbar - hand-roasted coffee

If anyone really understands coffee, it's Mike Schälchlin from Röstbar. What began as a small coffee shop in South Africa is now a fine craft roastery on Lake Zurich.

In Uetikon, on the site of the former chemical factory, Mike roasts coffee specialities for the catering trade - and for you. With the Röstbar, we have a manufactory in our range that not only loves coffee, but lives it.

Black package Röstbar Pfannenstiel Coffee - 50% Arabica, 50% Robusta
CHF 37,00 3 SIZES
Roast bar Pfannenstil, 1 kg beans

Are you looking for a coffee that will accompany you every day without becoming boring? Pfannenstiel is exactly that coffee - our personal house speciality, named after the gentle mountain range just outside Zurich. Like its namesake, this blend of Ethiopian Arabica and Tanzanian Robusta combines history, depth and perspective. A coffee that not only conveys a sense of home, but also impresses you time and time again with its balanced flavour. Pfannenstiel is a harmonious composition of the flowery, fruity notes of Ethiopian Arabica beans and the spicy strength of Tanzanian Robusta. The flavours are reminiscent of dark chocolate, nuts and delicate citrus fruits, rounded off by a full body and a long, caramelly finish. The mild acidity makes it particularly pleasant - both on its own as an espresso and in milk drinks. A real all-rounder with a distinctive profile. With its medium roast level (3 out of 5) and the balanced ratio of Arabica and Robusta, the Pfannenstiel is suitable for almost any type of preparation. Whether as an espresso in a portafilter, as a strong café crème in a fully automatic machine or as a cappuccino - this blend shows its strength everywhere. The dense crema, pleasant flavour and round taste ensure enjoyable moments - whether in the morning, at lunchtime or in the afternoon. The Arabica content comes from the Yirgacheffe region in Ethiopia, known for its floral, complex coffees with a fruity elegance. The Robusta beans come from Tanzania - around Bukoba and Arusha - and bring strength, structure and a pronounced body to the cup. Both varieties are carefully picked and washed by hand.The result: a house coffee with depth and suitability for everyday use that is just as popular with coffee fans as it is with beginners.

Röstbar Hochwacht, 1 kg beans
CHF 42,00 3 SIZES
Röstbar Hochwacht, 1 kg beans

If you love espresso with a signal effect that not only wakes you up, but also impresses you, then Röstbar Hochwacht is made for you. This strong blend of Arabica and Robusta beans comes from four different countries of origin - Brazil, Nicaragua, India and Guatemala - and combines the best of different altitudes, soils and traditions. The name Hochwacht is no coincidence: like a historical signal point, this espresso also announces that something special is coming here. Röstbar Hochwacht impresses with an intense but balanced flavour profile. The nutty, chocolaty notes from Brazil meet the fruity, floral elegance from Nicaragua. India contributes spice and depth, while Guatemala provides structure and harmony. Despite the strong body, the espresso remains mild in acidity and pleasantly soft on the finish. The small proportion of Robusta rounds off the blend and ensures a particularly dense and stable crema. These beans are intended for espresso preparation - whether in a portafilter, fully automatic machine or moka pot. The medium roast level (3 out of 5) ensures that the coffee is not too dark, but still aromatic and full-bodied in the cup. Ideal as a classic espresso or as a base for cappuccino and latte - especially if you value a creamy mouthfeel. Röstbar Hochwacht combines high-quality green coffees from selected regions: Brasil Dulce from Cerrado and Minas Gerais offers body and mild acidity, Nicaragua Tuma brings in fruity clarity and floral notes. The blend is complemented by Indian and Guatemalan beans, which give the blend depth and structure. The careful balance makes this espresso the ideal choice for anyone looking for a coffee that is full of character but at the same time pleasantly accessible - day after day.

Röstbar Coffee 70% Arabica 30% Robusta, 250g Pack, black packaging
CHF 42,00 3 SIZES
Röstbar Brandy, 1 kg beans

Character coffee with history and flavour. If you are looking for a coffee that not only tastes powerful, but also tells a story, then Röstbar Brand is just the thing for you. This blend of 70 % Arabica from Honduras and 30 % Robusta from Tanzania stands for character, depth and a touch of nostalgia. The name is reminiscent of the cleared land where forests were once burnt down - a place steeped in history that today produces a cup of coffee that is as powerful as it is harmonious. The Röstbar brandy combines the chocolaty, nutty notes of Honduran Arabica with the strong, slightly sweet fruitiness of Tanzanian Robusta. The flavours are reminiscent of dark chocolate, roasted nuts and subtle citrus fruits - a full-bodied pleasure with a mild acidity profile. The combination results in a pleasantly creamy cup with a long, toasted finish and a charming spicy nuance that gives the coffee depth. This blend unfolds its full potential particularly well in a moka pot. But the Röstbar Brand also cuts an excellent figure in a portafilter or fully automatic machine - especially as a strong espresso or as a base for cappuccino and latte macchiato. The medium roast level (4 out of 5) ensures a good balance between roasted flavours and the natural character of the beans. The Arabica beans come from the famous Santa Barbara region in Honduras, where they are grown under sustainable conditions on volcanic soil at 1,200 to 1,650 metres above sea level. The farmers there prioritise quality and care with every harvest. The Robustas from Tanzania come from the Kagera region and are harvested exclusively by hand. The shade cultivation at high altitudes ensures a particularly dense bean structure and plenty of flavour. The Röstbar Brand is a blend with character, ideal for anyone who loves strong coffees and values origin and quality.

What makes the Röstbar particularly good

Röstbar stands for uncompromising quality and genuine passion. Mike has decades of experience in the coffee world - and you can taste it in every cup.

His blends bear names from the region such as "Hochwacht" or "Gibisnüder" and are characterised by clarity, depth and character. Whether you like it strong, chocolaty or a little lighter - here you will find coffee to accompany you.

How and what does the Röstbar roast?

Roasting takes place on a traditional GENIO drum roasting machine - slowly, gently and in small batches.

This allows maximum control and individual profiles. Mike observes every curve, every change in colour, every aroma. And if it needs to be a little stronger, he also fulfils customer requests directly at the roasting drum. This results in coffees that are not off the shelf, but made by hand - for you.
