About us

Specialty coffee roasters, at the gates of Paris.

Kafina is an independent roastery born between Colombia and Paris. We select micro-lots traced back to the farm, roast them in small batches in Paris, and serve them to you ourselves at the Saint-Mandé and Charenton-le-Pont markets.

Our story

From the mountains of Colombia to your cup.

Kafina was born from a dream: to share a more human and authentic specialty coffee. We are the children of those who sought their path far from home, and we carry that energy into everything we do.

Our guiding principle is human connection. From selecting coffees to roasting, from the markets to brewing advice: we show the origin, we explain, we learn with you — and we create bonds, cup after cup. At the starting point, there is a conviction: coffee deserves as much attention as wine. Every bean tells a story of a terroir, a family of producers, a way of working.

"We celebrate specialty coffee as an expression of culture, identity, and connection."Origins that unite

Our method

From farm to market,
no shortcuts.

01

Traced selection

Region, farm or cooperative, variety, process (washed, honey, natural): every coffee has a name and a story. All our lots score over 80 SCA points.

02

Artisanal roasting

In small batches, in Paris, at Altura CoRoasters, a collaborative roasting workshop. A custom curve for each origin, roasted as close as possible to the sale date.

03

Sharing & advice

We serve you the coffee ourselves, as beans or ground for your brewing method, with the right settings. And our Barista app guides you at home.
