Our coffee is always freshly roasted as needed. We roast and ship our coffee daily Monday through Friday. All "Premium Picks" are roasted exclusively to order. For all other coffees, the roasting date when leaving our roastery is no longer than 7 days ago.

Feel free to sign up for our newsletter or follow us on Instagram @leuchtfeuer to always be informed about our latest selection. As soon as we add new types of coffee, we publish them on our Instagram page and in the newsletter. In addition, we have an info page in the "News" section of our website. Here you can find the current status of future Leuchtfeuer Coffees in the "Coffee Calendar" article.

The short answer is yes and no. Essentially, we comply with Fair Trade requirements, but we don't have the actual certifications. We pay at least four times the fair trade price for most coffees, which means we are well above the fair trade price.

Airtight packaging helps extend the shelf life and freshness of the coffee. That is why our packaging is resealable, so that the coffee in the bags can be easily stored and the aroma is preserved for a long time. In addition, our bags have a five-hole aroma valve that allows CO2 to escape but no oxygen to enter. The oxygen is responsible for the fact that the aroma is lost. Since we use seasonal, i.e. particularly fresh, coffee and store it in a fully air-conditioned humidor before roasting, our coffee is particularly aromatic and retains its aroma for a very long time if stored properly.

Für unsere Espresso Sorten empfehlen wir eine Ruhezeit von 10-14 Tagen (nach Röstung).

Für unsere Filter Sorten sind es 4-7 Tage, die zum „degassing“ reichen

For all our coffees, we deliberately buy only as much as we need until the next harvest, so that you always get the freshest coffee of the season from us. Sometimes, however, we don't buy the next harvest of a coffee if, for example, the cup profile doesn't convince us. When a coffee is sold out, your subscription to that coffee ends and you are not charged any more.
