About Probador Colectiva

Probador Colectiva is part of the generation that helped shape modern specialty coffee in Turkey. Based in Istanbul, the roastery is known for clean, light roasting and a strong education program alongside its coffee production. Seasonal lots from producers across Latin America and Africa are roasted to highlight origin and sweetness without adding unnecessary roast character.

Whether brewed as espresso or filter, the coffees stay transparent, balanced and easy to understand, reflecting the producer as much as the roaster.

Roastery Details

Coffee Sourcing & Philosophy

Probador Colectiva builds its menu around seasonal coffees selected for clarity, balance and origin character. The team works with trusted importers and transparent supply chains, choosing lots that express the producer's work rather than the roast itself. Roasting stays light and clean, with an omni profile that works equally well for espresso and filter.

Sustainability Highlights

The focus is on traceable coffees, seasonal buying and long-term sourcing partners. Fresh roasting, transparent information and responsible purchasing are treated as part of everyday work rather than marketing claims.

Awards & Recognition

Founded by Çağatay Gülabıoğlu, a former Turkish Roasting Champion, Q Grader and SCA Authorized Trainer. Probador Colectiva has become one of the reference names in Turkey's specialty coffee scene through roasting, education and professional training.
