Rare and sought-after beans: Our Zurheide Feine Kost roasters reveals exclusive insights

Zurheide’s coffee manufactory: bean rarities from our own roastery

We use a Probat 25 kg roasting machine in our store on Nürnberger Straße.
Together with four colleagues, we roast around 50 tons per year, which equates to around 900 kg per week. We supply five Edeka branches owned by the Zurheide family and also produce for our catering outlets, including a special blend for the gourmet restaurant “Setzkasten” gourmet restaurant. The roastery has been in existence since 2009 and has grown considerably since then.

It is very important to us to maintain a personal relationship with our customers. We are happy to advise them directly in the roastery so that everyone can find their perfect coffee – be it in terms of preparation methods, flavors or other concerns.
With a proud 38 varieties from 18 countries of origin, including five directly traded coffees, we offer a wide selection. This means that we buy directly from farms or cooperatives.

Some examples of this are:
• Kenya AA Kiptebes
• Guatemala Organic
• El Salvador El Barbaro
• Colombia La Aldea
• Sumatra Orang Utan

As far as roasting is concerned, we use batches of 15 kg to 25 kg in our Probatone 25 roasting machine, which is made by the renowned Probat company from Emmerich am Rhein.
The machine integrates advanced roasting technology by allowing precise control of temperatures and roasting times. This is crucial to achieving the desired flavor profiles and meeting even the most demanding requirements.
The result: the highest quality coffees with precise flavor nuances and aromas.
