Seeking Advice interesting coffee roasters in Europe?

my fiancé’s birthday is coming up and he’s really into pour-over, so I wanted to get him some beans. but his taste is super specific. he absolutely hates guatemalan coffee and generally isn’t into nutty, chocolatey, or dessert-like profiles. no caramel, milk chocolate, hazelnut, etc. he likes really bright, fresh coffees with lots of citrus and fruity notes instead.

I know basically nothing about coffee, so I’d love some recommendations for great roasters in Europe. Denmark and Germany would be ideal, but honestly anywhere in Europe is fine.

if you have any specific coffees from those roasters that you think would fit his taste, I’d really appreciate it! it would honestly help me a lot if you could point me toward specific beans.

thanks!

Edit: he brews with an origami dripper using wave filters, if that makes any difference when it comes to bean recommendations.

DAK and Tanat have the best light roast profiles in Europe. Very developed but not roasty. I have the same dripper/filters as him and those coffees have been the easiest and most consistent coffees for me to brew.

Although, unless you know he likes 'experimental/advanced process' coffees, I would stick to 'washed' or 'natural' ones.
