30 tons
of green coffee roasted every day
At Cafés Richard, the art of roasting is expressed in all its diversity. We favour the traditional robe de moine roast, a French hallmark of balance and aromatic elegance.
Our two High Roasting sites in Gennevilliers (Paris region) and Saint-Avertin (Loire region) combine expert craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. This enables us to ensure consistent quality while respecting the unique aromatic profiles of our Signature Blends and Single Origins.
For rarer, more confidential terroirs and for specialty coffees, we rely on artisanal roasting, carried out by our Manufacture or by our Parisian and regional roasters, such as Brûlerie des Gobelins. This tailored approach reveals the unique character of each coffee.
