Lot61: Amsterdam's pioneering specialty roastery, globally inspired and deeply committed to circularity, poly-farming, and innovative coffee experiences.

Adam Craig, a founder celebrated by the New York Times for establishing three successful coffee bars in NYC, brought his visionary spirit to Amsterdam, opening Lot61 in 2013. Alongside his childhood friend from Sydney, they pioneered the city's third-wave coffee scene, introducing the specialty espresso bar and roastery concept when it was still a novelty.
Their journey, deeply influenced by witnessing plastic pollution and dying coral reefs in Australia, ignited a passion to create a business with a profound positive impact. This ethos is perfectly encapsulated in their brand's soul: "Born in Sydney. Raised in Brooklyn. Roasting in Amsterdam."Lot61 is on a mission to become a "circular coffee brand," championing the responsible use of natural resources for future generations. This commitment extends to their sourcing, where they prioritize relationships with producers practicing "poly-farming" – a method that naturally regenerates soil by cultivating diverse crops.
Pushing beverage boundaries, Lot61 collaborates with a renowned mixologist to craft innovative 'Seasonal Drinks,' offering a unique twist on their specialty coffee experience. Their dedication to quality, innovation, and environmental stewardship defines their distinctive character in the global coffee landscape.
