Gorilla

The Gorilla coffee brand was founded by brothers Andreas and Peter Hühsam. They manage the traditional coffee roasting company A. Joerges, whose history dates back to 1847. In 2004, they launched the Gorilla brand, which quickly grew into one of Germany's leading private roasteries and is currently based in Obertshausen.

The secret lies in their single-origin roasting process. Each type of bean is roasted individually using a gentle drum roasting method for 12 to 20 minutes at a maximum temperature of 220°C. Only after this process are the beans combined to create their characteristic blends. This allows the unique aroma of every single bean to fully develop, ensuring an exceptional taste profile.

Due to the quality of the beans and the specific roasting process, Gorilla Kaffee is ideal for fully automatic coffee machines (bean-to-cup machines). However, you can just as easily use the whole beans or ground coffee in traditional Italian espresso machines (portafilter machines) to achieve excellent results.

Gorilla offers a wide range of coffee varieties tailored to individual preferences. The selection ranges from the "Espresso Gorilla Crema No. 1," made from fine highland Arabica beans, to the bold and robust "Gorilla Kaffeehaus-Mischung" (Coffee House Blend). A decaffeinated option, "Gorilla Espresso Entkoffeiniert," is also available, so you can enjoy an intense espresso flavor at any time of day.

Yes, the Gorilla Espresso Impianto is available exclusively in the roastmarket shop. This premium espresso blend consists of the finest South American highland Arabica beans. It features a smooth body, chocolaty notes, and a fruity finish, and tastes particularly exceptional when prepared in a portafilter machine.
