Gearbox Coffee Roasters

Let’s be honest: the market is flooded with beautiful, super fancy coffee bags featuring trendy pastel colors or stunning illustrations. Ours? It’s a minimal, matte black bag with a straightforward label that tells you exactly what’s inside. It won’t win a design award, and it isn’t meant to create “hype” on your shelf.
But there is a reason for this. Actually, two:
1️⃣ It’s 100% recyclable. We chose to invest in real packaging sustainability rather than gold foil finishes or non-separable plastics.
2️⃣ We believe in substance. People choose Gearbox for the care we put into sourcing and roasting, for the cup profile, and for the origin. Long story short: you buy the coffee, not the bag.
No fluff, just mind-blowing specialty coffee. What do you look for most when picking a coffee bag?

Great coffee isn’t made in the roaster; it’s grown on the branch.
Quality from day one.
Period.

The wait is over. 🏁 Introducing our latest arrival: Colombia Finca Villa Maria.

This isn’t just any coffee; it’s a stunning Ombligon lot that pushes the boundaries of flavor. Expect a delicate floral entry of pollen and chamomile, leading into the exotic sweetness of lychee. The finish? Incredibly creamy, reminiscent of a freshly baked yogurt plum cake. 🍰

A true masterpiece for your daily ritual. Now live on our webshop.

🚨 🚨 NEW COFFEE RELEASE 🚨 🚨

This amazing coffee comes from Ratnagiri Estate, a pioneering farm in the application of biotechnology to coffee production. Located in the heart of the Western Ghats rainforest, this region offers a unique microclimate, soil composition, and indigenous microbial ecosystem—ideal conditions for native cultivars to flourish sustainably and express distinct cup profiles.

Hemavathi variety: it’s a semi-dwarf variety introduced by India’s Central Coffee Research Institute. Hemavathi is marked by pale green foliage and excellent adaptability to high-altitude conditions. It is highly regarded for its strong disease resistance and pest tolerance, making it a sustainable choice for regions with diverse climates and microbial ecosystems like the Western Ghats.

The process: it’s a 96-hour extended carbonic maceration natural processed coffee. The Brix of the coffee cherries was 25.9 when harvested and they were put in the Bio fermenters after floater removal. The coffee was inoculated with a mix of different lab-grown cultures. The tanks were then purged with carbon dioxide gas, and the coffee was fermented for 96 hours. After removing the coffee, they were directly put on raised beds for slow drying. The coffee was then dried slowly with constant stirring over the next 31 days

Our roaster and CEO Tom posing in front of the coffee wall in our Lab. So many stickers representing so many coffees: different origins, varieties, processes or producers.

So many beans and stories united by one thing: love and passion for this work that brings us surprises every day.

Because at the end, it’s (not) simply coffee!

Even this year we joined for the second edition of this amazing fest.

As usual coffee was a side, we focused on friends, laughs and non serious moments!

A massive thanks to everyone we met in Rome 🚀🧡
