Format An integrated coffee roasting and sales company operating both in B2C (through the Blacklist Club subscription and retail sales in concept stores) and B2B formats (wholesale supply for cafés, restaurants, and corporate clients).
Awards and Recognition Named 2023 Brand of the Year in the Coffee Retailer category, holding dozens of international awards that confirm the high quality of its products and its innovative approach to coffee.
Concept and Unique Features An alternative perspective on coffee: In 2019, the company opened its first concept store—a special space where guests can enjoy not only traditional espresso and filter coffee (to drink in or take away) but also delve deeper into the world of coffee through tasting sets, similar to gastronomic sets in restaurants. This format allows customers to discover new aspects of coffee and understand nuances of its flavor and aroma.
Direct product engagement: Blacklist Coffee Roasters emphasizes direct collaboration with raw material suppliers—the quality of the beans and unique processing methods help preserve the distinct character of each coffee variety. At the same time, the brand supports a zero-waste philosophy: the Cleanskin blend is created weekly from leftover beans, highlighting the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Cleanskin is a specialty coffee, roasted specifically for espresso, made from surplus beans yet transformed into a high-quality product.
Innovative Products and Gift Sets:
A spicy blend for making chai latte
Cocoa powder
Meat seasoning with ground coffee
Special mention goes to the Juice Box gift sets—three 150 g bags of coffee featuring passion fruit, wine yeast, peach, and strawberry. Each set also includes a signature Blacklist pin. The coffee cherries used for the Juice Box are harvested at peak ripeness and then undergo a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation with added fruits and/or wine yeast. Afterwards, they are crushed and dried together with the fruit until they reach the ideal moisture level.
