About K Coffee

For decades, the global coffee industry ran on a cruel paradox: Ethiopia grew the most mind-blowing, floral, and complex beans on earth, but exported every single top-tier bean to western cafes, leaving locals with low-grade commercial leftovers. K Coffee staging a brilliant domestic coup. Founded by Kaleb Asraw, this Addis Ababa powerhouse refuses to let the West have all the fun.

Operating out of their ultra-sleek, design-forward hubs like the one in Sarbet, K Coffee grabs Grade 1 micro-lots right from the source—from funky natural Gujis to pristine washed Yirgacheffes—and roasts them with surgical third-wave precision right in the capital. It’s an unpretentious, incredibly vital sanctuary where Addis’s new generation and global coffee pilgrims sit side-by-side.
