Artisan Roasters d.o.o. is a small roastery for specialty coffees in Zagreb, which we founded in Lisbon at the beginning of 2021 under the name ‘Café Aroma’. We opened our branch in Zagreb in 2025. For legal reasons, we had to change our name in Croatia.
Our Roasting Philosophy
We roast our coffees neither very light nor very dark – in any case always between the first and the second crack. In coffee jargon, our preferred roast degrees are called City+ and Full City/+, for our espresso coffees.
This is how we optimally balance our coffees between pleasant acidity, maximum aroma, accentuated body and a persistent aftertaste. Our prolonged roasting in the drum roaster minimises chlorogenic acid, making our coffee particularly aromatic and also stomach-friendly.
The Roaster
At the heart of our roastery is a Coffee-Tech roaster from Israel: the Torrefattore FZ-94.

The Founder
My name is Jochen Weber, I am from Stuttgart, Germany. For years I have been passionate about coffee and I have strived to learn as much as possible about the theory and practice of the entire process: from production to classification, cupping, roasting and preparation.
Mission Statement
Our focus are our customers, and our goal is attentive, friendly and fast service and delivery. We want to provide a perfect coffee, an honest product at fair prices, and we embrace responsible ethics.
