Six years of light, roasted deep in a Kyoto lane

Kō Coffee is a small specialty coffee roastery in Kyoto. Six years ago we started with a single small roaster, and we have roasted every batch in-house ever since — not for scale, but to keep the little bit of light inside each bean for you.

We don't chase volume. Every batch is around 5 kg, roasted by hand in small lots. The roaster stands beside the machine from start to finish, judging the exact moment to release the roast by sound, aroma and color.

• Roasting in Kyoto for 6 years — every step from green bean to cup happens in Kyoto
• Direct from the farm — green coffee bought straight from farms in Ethiopia and Guatemala
• Small-batch, hand-roasted — every bean's character respected; no industrial-scale roasting
