Fjord

Fjord Coffee Roasters is a Berlin-based specialty roaster that emerged directly from two of the city's established independent cafes, Father Carpenter and Silo Coffee. The project was founded by people behind both operations — two Berlin venues that had already built reputations in the city's specialty scene — and channels the sourcing sensibility those cafes developed into a dedicated roasting operation with a stated focus on rare and distinctive lots.

As The Coffee Vine has documented, Fjord is effectively the consolidated ambition of the Father Carpenter and Silo founding teams. The Kofio profile summarizes the origin cleanly: the roastery "was created by combining the same dream of two Berlin cafes." That lineage gave Fjord a specific identity from the start — not a volume operation built around a house profile, but a curated selection of documented single-origin lots tied to specific producers and processing stations.

The current menu reflects that orientation. Offerings span East Africa and Central America: a washed Ethiopian from the Guji zone, a Kenyan AA from the Mutheru washing station, and multiple Guatemalan lots including a washed Bourbon and Caturra from El Progreso's Sierra de las Minas, sourced through Josue Morales at Los Volcanoes Coffee. Morales's operation emphasizes farmer education in biodynamic practices and natural pest management alongside its processing work. Roast profiles run light across the single-origin range — the Guatemala San Antonio espresso, for instance, carries a "Light" roast designation — while a house blend covers the more approachable end of the bar. A taster box set and subscription option for the house blend round out the retail offering.
