19grams Coffee

19grams Coffee: Berlin’s Specialty Coffee Pioneer

Since 2002, 19grams has been one of the specialty coffee pioneers in Germany. Since then, the roastery has continuously grown and now operates four cafés and a roastery in Berlin-Mitte. For over two decades, the team has selected, roasted, and sold outstanding coffees, working fairly and transparently with a close network of coffee producers, always on equal terms.

The 19grams Alex at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 13 in Mitte is also the roastery, where coffee is roasted, trained, and cupped. The coffees are freshly roasted there weekly and then delivered to all other locations. The Specialty Espressos are medium roasted, light yet fully developed, with the natural profile of the coffee fruit in the foreground. With a delicate touch, the fine acids and natural sweetness are extracted from each bean.

Four Neighborhoods, One Roasting Philosophy

What began almost 20 years ago in Berlin-Friedrichshain is now four cafés in Mitte, Kreuzberg, and still Friedrichshain. Each café reflects the neighborhood it is located in.

Regular public cuppings take place, where visitors can taste six to eight current coffees; no prior knowledge is required. Additionally, there are barista, latte art, filter, and roasting courses. Those who wish can discover rare coffee varieties such as Geisha, Sidra, or Sudan Rume. Furthermore, 19grams pursues a zero-waste approach and sources its milk from Brodowin, with a focus on quality, seasonality, and regionality.
