Caffi
Lahti, Finland
Specialty coffee roastery founded in 2005, roasting small batches by hand in Lahti's Askolla district using a "slow roast" method that emphasizes the beans' own character over dark, burnt notes. Sources specialty-grade coffee meeting Specialty Coffee Association standards, often rare varietals from small, environmentally-conscious farms, and roasts to order rather than to warehouse stock so nothing sits on a shelf. Also sells tea and handmade chocolate. Named Finland's Best Coffee at the Helsinki Coffee Festival for two consecutive years, with baristas and competition coffees regularly entered in national and world barista competitions. Runs retail stores in Helsinki (Lasipalatsi), Vantaa (Flamingo) and Espoo (Iso Omena). Source: caffi.fi.

16 coffeesA northern-Italian-style dark roast blend built for both espresso and filter — robust Brazilian and Papua New Guinean coffees for spiced, smoky-cigar depth and creamy body, rounded out with washed Colombian for added complexity and balance. Source: caffi.fi.
Balanced, smooth, strong, chocolatey
Caffi's darkest roast — a French-roast blend developed for café au lait but versatile enough for filter and espresso. Papua New Guinean beans bring maize-like, smoky-cigar character, natural Brazilian beans add soft weight, and washed Colombian rounds it out with a hint of ripe fruit — full-bodied and dark without losing sweetness.

Balanced, soft, strong, smoky
Caffi's best-selling coffee in the roastery's history — a washed Yellow Bourbon from Fazenda Pantano in Cerrado Mineiro with a soft, round mouthfeel, balanced sweetness and a clean toffee finish. Works across filter, espresso and bean-to-cup machines. Source: caffi.fi.
Roasted nuts, chocolate, toffee
A medium-roast decaf blend combining Ethiopian decaf with Ethiopian natural-process coffee, decaffeinated via the natural EA (ethyl acetate, derived from sugar cane) process — carries 75% less caffeine than regular coffee while keeping pure, fruity, jasmine-toned character and a fresh fruity aftertaste.

Balanced, chocolate, caramel, citrus fruit
An experimental micro-lot from Los Guaduales farm in Huila, Acevedo — whole ripe cherries ferment in oxygen-free containers before sun- and mechanical-drying, giving a wine-like, floral cup Caffi calls a "trick coffee" for how far it strays from a typical Colombian profile. Mandarin, peach, citrus caramel and cocoa notes with pronounced fermentation character. Source: caffi.fi.
Mandarin, peach, citrus caramel, cocoa
A clean, balanced Ethiopian decaf that "doesn't taste decaffeinated" — natural EA (ethyl acetate) process removes caffeine while preserving fruity, jasmine-toned character. Rich and versatile: works for filter, bean-to-cup machines, or Turkish coffee. Source: caffi.fi.
Dried stone fruit, chocolate, apricot
Caffi calls this its strongest coffee — a southern-Italian-style espresso blend (about a third robusta) built for thick, full-bodied shots with dark chocolate and hazelnut character, forgiving enough for home baristas with imprecise grinders. Best as espresso, acceptable as filter. Source: caffi.fi.
Robust, soft, strong, chocolatey, hazelnut
A wild, complex natural-process Sidamo from Daye Bensa's Shantawene lots — dry-processed for pronounced berry character layered with jasmine and stone fruit, and a silky mouthfeel. Recommended for filter brewing (Chemex, V60). Source: caffi.fi.
Blueberry, jasmine, stone fruit

A northern-Italian-style 100% arabica dark espresso blend — Brazilian beans bring body, Colombian beans add nutty, fruity complexity. Works for espresso machines, filter and pod coffee makers. Source: caffi.fi.
Heavy mouthfeel, soft, sweet, low acidity, chocolatey with milk

Caffi's boldest dark-roast espresso — a 60/40 natural-process blend of Brazilian arabica and Indian robusta built for a robust, southern-Italian-style shot with serious punch, also works for filter and milk-based drinks. Source: caffi.fi.
Very full-bodied, soft, sweet, low acidity, chocolatey with milk

Beans aged for 1-2 months in open-sided warehouses along the Malabar coast, exposed to humid monsoon winds — Caffi calls it "perhaps the world's softest coffee." Low acidity and earthy character make it a favorite for gentler cups. Source: caffi.fi.
Exceptionally soft, low acidity, earthy, viscous finish

A vanilla-flavoured blend of Brazilian, Guatemalan and Colombian coffee — natural vanilla aromas add refinement and smoothness over a sweet, full-bodied medium-dark roast base. Works for filter, espresso and bean-to-cup machines. Source: caffi.fi.
Soft, low acidity, cream liqueur aromatics

Soft, low acidity, creamy liqueur character

This year's first new-harvest Kenyan from the Gakundu cooperative on Mount Kenya's southern slope — washed AA-grade beans from SL 28 and SL 34 varieties, cupping juicy with red wine and blueberry character and a dominant grapefruit finish. Caffi calls it its most acidic and juiciest coffee. Source: caffi.fi.
Red wine, blueberry, grapefruit, citrus and berry

Grown on small Eastern Highlands farms (20-500 trees each) on Typica vines that share genetic heritage with Jamaica Blue Mountain, introduced to the island in the 1930s. Washed and roasted medium-dark for a balanced, robust cup with spiced, sweet ripe-fruit character. Source: caffi.fi.
Balanced, robust, spiced, sweet ripe fruit
A natural-processed Red Bourbon from Nova Coffee's Gicumbi processing station in northern Rwanda — light-medium roasted to keep its fruit-forward, nutty character, with stone fruit and plum sweetness, a hint of green apple, and a chocolatey, silky-bodied finish. Source: caffi.fi.
