Back again in 2025! Best Roaster is a peer-assessed, uncompromising challenge, focused on the real-world skills and expertise of the world’s best coffee roasters.  More than that, it is a celebration of the hard work and dedication that goes into being one of the world’s best coffee roasters.

A total of 27 roasters applied to compete in the initial heats of Nordics Best Roaster, with each roaster being tasked with sending in a bag of coffee of their choosing. All submitted coffees were blind-cupped twice by a jury and we are now pleased to present the roasters proceeding to the final, taking place during Nordic Coffee Fest 2025.
