Rose Coffee Roasters

What's in the box: Freshly roasted specialty coffee from Zurich, most likely a changing single origin from the Origins range, though the site does not state bag size or delivery frequency.

Rose Coffee Roasters is a Zurich roaster that sorts its coffee into three clear ranges. Daily (green label) covers blends, decaf and approachable origins meant for espresso, moka and milk drinks. Its House Blend is described as milk chocolate, hazelnut and sweet, and is listed at CHF 11.00. Origins (rose label) is the rotating single origin line. It currently features a washed Guji Rassa with notes of lemon, peach, jasmine and black tea at CHF 17.00. Obsessions (silver label) is for rare lots, such as a Kotowa Las Brujas Geisha at CHF 40.00. The site invites you to "follow a new origin," which points to a recurring option built around the changing single origins. However, the front page does not explain subscription terms, delivery frequency, bag sizes or shipping, so check those before you sign up. A short quiz asks how you brew (filter, espresso machine, moka or AeroPress) and gives you a shortlist, which helps if you are new to specialty coffee. The roaster says it buys from producers it works with closely and roasts in Zurich every week. The ranges are easy to understand, and the spread from everyday coffee to rare lots suits most budgets. The main gap is the lack of clear detail on how a recurring delivery works.
