Our Story
Being trained and learning the craft as a classic second wave coffee roaster, our Master Roaster, Christian Waskiewicz loves tradition. That tradition and his European upbringing and life experiences is due cause to represent the “classics” of European roasting styles in a domestic interpretation. To round out the triad of Euro-Classics, which include Vienna and French, Alpen Sierra’s Italian Roast is specifically, but not solely, blended for espresso brewing. The resulting cup character should be bold, bright, rich and sweet. Saluti!
