LOT61 COFFEE ROASTERS. (Amsterdam)
“BORN IN SYDNEY. RAISED IN BROOKLYN. ROASTING IN AMSTERDAM" is not only, the tagline of LOT61, a Third Wave Coffee Roasters pioneer in Amsterdam but also, the story of its founder Adam Craig.

The coffee we serve is more than just coffee. It’s a lifestyle, a way of life, an escape, and it’s inseparable from comfort,” states Ray, the company CEO

"It is all about the terroir- the growing conditions of the coffee. That means the type of soil, the amount of sunlight, water and, more specifically, the actual lot that the beans come from. All these things affect the characteristics of the coffee."
Roast style
At Lot61,they roasts all their coffee manually on a tailor-made drum roaster by Probat. By gently applying heat. They fully develop their beans on the inside whilst keeping the roast light and clean outside. This way they can showcase terroir and the individual taste of each coffee farm.
