Coffee Pirate

coffee pirate takes roasting seriously, and berlin notices. the mühlenstraße address puts you in friedrichshain, a neighborhood that stopped pretending to be anything other than itself years ago, which suits an independent roaster just fine. what you get here is coffee sourced and roasted with actual intention, not a house style assembled to please everyone at once. the east berlin location isn't incidental either, this stretch of the city has its own pace, and a roastery that's built a local following here has done it on the quality of what's in the bag. if you're deciding when to go, earlier in the day tends to reward you, when the roasting work of the week is freshest in whatever's being pulled.
