FAUSTO KAFFEERÖSTEREI

Fausto Kaffeerösterei: Munich’s Sustainable Soul of Specialty Coffee

Step into Fausto Kaffeerösterei and you’re enveloped by the intoxicating aroma of freshly roasted beans—a true centerpiece of Munich’s third wave coffee movement. Founded by Klaus Wildmoser and his brother-in-law, Fausto stands as one of the city’s largest independent roasteries, turning out over 300 tonnes of coffee annually while preserving a hands-on, artisanal approach. For more than 15 years, the Wildmoser family has committed to direct and fair trade, sourcing sustainably grown beans—like the signature espresso direct-imported from Turrialba, Costa Rica—ensuring flavor and ethical responsibility in every cup. The café’s modern yet inviting space, with plenty of seating inside and out, makes it an ideal destination for both coffee purists and casual sippers.

Fausto’s coffee portfolio is a world tour for your senses: from chocolatey Paradiso and robust Simao blends to the fruity, standout Flor de Macala, there’s always something new to discover thanks to their rotating “coffee of the week.” Their Pura Vida line, crafted from traceable and ethically sourced beans and cocoa, exemplifies their dedication to transparency and quality. Beyond coffee, guests can indulge in rich dark chocolates and carefully selected pastries, cementing Fausto as a must-visit for anyone craving authentic, award-worthy specialty coffee with a conscience. For the best experience, try their house espresso or explore a pour-over to appreciate the diverse origins and the roaster's meticulous craftsmanship.
