Roasteries you can visit

Visiting a roastery is the best way to understand coffee. You can see the raw green beans, watch them transform in the roaster, and taste the finished product while it is still warm. The smell alone is worth the trip.

These 91 roasters combine a public space with some form of training or educational offering. That might be a formal tour programme, regular cupping sessions, brew workshops, or simply a cafe where staff are happy to explain what is happening behind the scenes.

If you are planning a roastery visit, call or email ahead. Some run scheduled tours on specific days. Others are happy to show you around whenever it is quiet. Weekend mornings tend to be the best time, when the roaster is running but the cafe is not yet packed.
