How to define responsibility?
As coffee enthusiasts, we want to create better coffee for ourselves and share our expertise with our customers.
We roast our coffee with our own energy-efficient Loring Kestrel roaster.
Our selection includes different roast levels for espresso and filter methods, as well as for adventurous specialty coffee lovers. We develop roasting profiles for each coffee, bringing out its unique characteristics while maintaining consistent quality from batch to batch.
2025
Our selection includes familiar coffees and rotating single origin coffees from various coffee-producing regions.
ROST's roastery and shop are located in Lauttasaari, Helsinki. Fresh ROST coffee can be purchased from our online store, our roastery shop, Kaffecentralen's shop in Kamppi, Helsinki, and from selected cafes, restaurants, and K-Group stores.
For us, sustainability means a transparent production chain from farmer to consumer. A mere label on the package is not enough.
We source our coffee beans from reliable wholesalers or directly from farmer representatives. Our most popular products are both Fair Trade and organic certified. Our single-origin coffees come from small farms whose production stands up to scrutiny, even if they don't yet have certifications. Quality, traceability, and fair compensation for farmers are our minimum requirements.
Fairtrade certification
Fairtrade certification guarantees a minimum price for primary production and an additional premium for community development. The system supports the livelihoods of smallholder families and the improvement of working conditions. Our Fairtrade products are identified by this label.
Organic Certification
Organic coffee is produced in accordance with the EU Organic Regulation, and the entire production chain is subject to control. At least 95% of the raw materials must be organically produced. You can identify our organic products by this label.
Energy-efficient roasting
We roast our coffee using a Loring roaster, which has significantly lower consumption and emissions compared to traditional equipment. Our consumer packaging is made of recyclable material, thus avoiding being solely energy waste. We also offer a zero-waste packaging solution through our Zero-Waste concept.
Zero Waste packaging solution
The coffee is delivered in reusable, food-grade 5 kg barrels. We collect the empty barrels during the next delivery for washing, inspection, and another round. If handled correctly, the container is virtually eternal, and no waste is generated at all.
