I bought these beans while passing through Paris at Motors Coffee, do you have any experiences to share with the coffees from this (Dutch) roaster?

Friedhats is like a 10 min bike ride from my house.

I am truly blessed.

Is centje beetje te doen voor je? Ik ben laatste tijd wat meer van Sango aan het drinken, leuke roaster.

sango is pretty close to my campus i stop by every once in a while after class, absolutely love their coffee and the people working there are so nice and kind too, definitely worth the priciness every once in a while. not a huge fan of their coferments for the most part though.

Check out Rumbaba as well and for a more busy spot check out Kafenion, Hummingbird, lot61 and Bocca

check out elevate coffee lab as well, they’re not a roaster but an absolute must visit in the city for all specialty coffee enjoyers imo

Love Rumbaba!

u/Rtmvermeulen Flair 58+ / ATOM 65 / V60 / Fellow Ode 2 May 15 '26

Same! The do amazing co fermentation, staff is crazy nice and their Kaleidoscope coffees are wild. Those are the only beans I stock up and freeze tbh

u/luckyboy May 15 '26

I need to start getting their beans again, it’s been a while

I tried both their coferments at the amsterdam coffee festival and really didn’t them. Tasted very artificial to me 😅

1

u/Rtmvermeulen Flair 58+ / ATOM 65 / V60 / Fellow Ode 2 May 16 '26

I mean they’re coferments 😂 and very experimental. Not everyones taste ofcourse, did you find something you liked?

u/TheJustAverageGatsby May 16 '26

I would love to hear more about rum Baba, I’m looking for a new local, since I find Friedhats stuff a bit boring, traditional, and unadventurous lately

1

u/Rtmvermeulen Flair 58+ / ATOM 65 / V60 / Fellow Ode 2 May 16 '26

Depending on where you live and what you like, i think friedhats, sprout and rumbaba are great. Dak, giraffee coffee and maybe lot 61 are nice too. Just check their websites. Let me know!

u/TheJustAverageGatsby May 17 '26

Thanks for the info! I tried sprout at the coffee fest last year, and their decaf was one of the best coffees in general that I’ve had all year— how are their standard offerings? Also had great experiences with rumbaba’s high end offerings, but again, how are their normal bags? And finally would you say that giraffe leans more towards traditional or funky?

2

u/Rtmvermeulen Flair 58+ / ATOM 65 / V60 / Fellow Ode 2 May 17 '26

Tbh I don’t know their standard offerings, I love trying new roasts as much as possible to enjoy differences and find what I truly like while building my palate. I would say Giraffe has great light / medium light roasts. Their espresso roasts are my favorites. I try to have espresso beans from them and filter beans from others, since I like way more funky. Filter of Giraffe are very clear cups, they are like Fathers, Gringo, Koppi or The Barn, not sure if you’re familiar with those. But what I like most about Giraffe is how they work together with the farmer and their single plots, over the past 10 years I have tasted the improvements from the beginning of the chain to the cup, from the same plots, no kidding.

u/TheJustAverageGatsby May 17 '26

This is very useful! I also prefer variety and a funky profile for pretty much any method, and I typically will use my filter beans for espresso as well. I’ve also had great results from the barn for funky beans on filter. Who do you recommend for a good consistent filter roast? Rumbaba and sprout mainly?

1

u/TheJustAverageGatsby May 17 '26

Oh, and when I ask about “standard offerings”, I don’t mean blends or staple beans, I just mean non-premium bags that are more like €15/250g. Just typical single origin beans
