„We are men who love coffee. And we love getting others excited about black gold even more."
The people
Dominik and Thomas
Two founders, one drink: Dominik Rider and Thomas Schatz founded their roastery in Aschersleben in 2020. Dominik is a trained roaster who discovered coffee through a small neighbourhood roastery while studying - first a pan, then a home roaster, then several roasteries. Thomas has been a barista since 2008 and deepened his knowledge around the world. Both build organisation, production and distribution on sustainability, fairness and transparency.
The product
Coffee with its own signature
Every coffee here has character, a story and its own design - from Der Rabenschwarze to the 73er Espresso and the Coffee Lab with its especially creative roasts. Alongside them: cocoa, cascara tea, chocolate, liqueurs and gear such as AeroPress, ceramic filters or cold brew makers, much of it developed with regional partners in Saxony-Anhalt. Companies and special occasions get bespoke blends with matching designs.
The place
A workshop in Aschersleben
Roasting takes place in their own workshop on Hohe Strasse using traditional drum roasting, coaxing the aromas gently out of the bean. In 2025 the German food magazine "Der Feinschmecker" named them among the best coffee roasters in Germany. Visitors can join seminars and workshops or get advice in person on site.
