Cup specialty coffee is thus the result of the dedicated work of a large group of people who remain anonymous in the mass sale of coffee. In Slovenia, the STOW roaster takes care of the continuation of the process at the highest level, which emphasizes the profile of the individual origin with the roasting method and ensures always fresh, locally roasted coffee.
