La Cabra

La Cabra

Roaster · Since 2012

Danish roastery ranked fifth in the world, now across four countries.

Literature student Esben Piper opened the first shop in Aarhus in 2012 with his stepfather, after tasting a Guji from Sidamo. Head roaster Mikkel Selmer won the Danish Brewers Cup and AeroPress Championship in 2014.

Every bean gets one roast profile, set at the cupping table for brightness. La Cabra visits Yirgacheffe and Sidamo in Ethiopia and the New Ngariama cooperative in Kenya several times a year.​⁠​​​⁠⁠​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​​⁠⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​⁠​​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​
