Stow Coffee Roasters was founded in Ljubljana in 2016 and runs its roastery in Kamnik, with the stated aim of lifting Slovenian coffee to an international specialty standard. It was set up from the start as three connected parts with the roastery, cafés in Ljubljana, and Stow Academy, which has grown into one of the country's main coffee education centres. The roastery buys seasonally and works with single origins alongside rare, competition-level lots, which it sells under the Stow Rare label, sourced from well-regarded farms and producers. Roasting for espresso is aimed at balance, clarity and sweetness, while the filter range is built to show each coffee's origin character, its variety, terroir and processing method.
