We opened the doors to our new 220GRAD Rupertinum about two weeks ago. With it, we also began a new coffee partnership: Rwanda.

220GRAD Rupertinum: In March we will open our doors accompanied by new machines.

From a wealth of potential, a company emerges that offers even more.

"Everything is connected to me and Salzburg. But it can only be a love-hate relationship because I am a living, breathing human being. It's not possible any other way. Or I let myself be absorbed, dance along with it, and completely give myself up – building Salzburg out of papier-mâché and icing, and giving myself up. I don't want that." (Thomas Bernhard)  

New cups for the 220GRAD Rupertinum from feinedinge* in Vienna.

This time we are bringing an old sculpture hall in the heart of the city back to life .

Our Christmas coffee Perlbohne: dense and unique - just like the year 2021.

Our packaging will change, and it will be good.

Why we know our producers and yet still want to rely on importers.

Climate change is omnipresent. Never before have events directly attributable to it occurred so rapidly and so quickly. The coffee industry is also affected. In addition to increasingly frequent and severe storms and severe weather events, other weather phenomena play a crucial role for coffee farmers. Drought is becoming an increasingly serious problem in coffee-growing regions around the equator. Regions with sufficient altitude can still shift to higher elevations (around 2200 m!), as is the case in Ethiopia, for example. For Brazil, with its topographically determined low growing altitudes averaging 1000-1300 m for C. arabica varieties, this is hardly possible. This year, a crop failure of 28.5% is expected. This phenomenon is not new, but this development should not be taken lightly. A 2015 study (Bunn et al., 2015. Climate Change 129, 89-101) estimated that Brazil's current harvest volume will decrease by 30 to 85% by 2050. This is an enormous figure considering that Brazil is the world's largest coffee exporter by volume. The Arabica plant, as we know it, is threatened. Some growing regions and varieties will likely disappear. It pains us to think how quickly ways of life and the cultures, knowledge, and history associated with them could be lost forever. At the same time, coffee cultivation in China is increasing, and much hope is being placed in the C. canephora genus (Robusta). Robusta plants are known for their greater resistance to heat, temperature fluctuations, and pests. But only time will tell how this genus reacts to increasing drought stress. So, things are sure to change – for us and for the results in the cup. Who knows, perhaps new varieties, cultivation methods, roasting techniques, or even preparation methods will emerge that we can't even imagine right now.Pantha rhei! – Everything flows!
