19 Grams Coffee Roasters Review

19 Grams Coffee Roasters are based in Berlin, Germany.

One of their main aims is to help their customers enjoy and understand specialty coffee.

It all started in 2002 in Friedrichshain and under the name Tres Cabezas.

Back then specialty coffee was just emerging and the team had a few issues with how coffee was served and consumed in cafes, bars and restaurants.

They were not convinced on the quality but also the trade, production and processing and this was the foundations of what 19 Grams wanted to change.

The Origin

The Simbi Natural coffee from 19 Grams Coffee Roasters comes from the Huye region in Rwanda, Africa.

The team at 19grams have known the Simbi Washing Station for many years: The Washing Station Simbi was founded in 2013 by Abdul Rudahunga.

It enables farmers in the Huye region to prepare their coffee.

Almost 1,500 micro-farms deliver their coffee to the Simbi Station, which employs around 80 people during the main harvest season.

There is space for 300 tons of coffee cherries, which are processed using different methods. From fully-washed beans to sun-dried natural coffee cherries, anything is possible.

Thanks to its experimental and at the same time careful processing, the Simbi Station produces excellent quality.

Simbi coffees have been nominated for the Cup of Excellence several times.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
