Father Carpenter, a coffee roaster and café established in January 2015 in Berlin, aims to elevate hospitality and gastronomy in the city by providing a positive, authentic, and memorable experience for all guests. They strive to inspire others in the industry to follow their example.
Initially, Father Carpenter experienced a rapid influx of customers that overwhelmed their small team, followed by a slow period typical for a new business. However, their purpose-driven approach and dedication quickly made them a beloved institution in Berlin. They maintain a modern yet romantic and purist approach to coffee and coffee roasting.
Father Carpenter believes that each green coffee bean has a peak potential for flavor, which is intrinsic to the bean itself. Their goal is to roast the coffee just enough to make it soluble, bright, and sweet, without introducing flavors from the roasting process. They emphasize that coffee should be bright, sweet, and clean. The brightness comes from preserving the natural acidity found in high-altitude coffees, which gives the drink vibrancy. Sweetness is achieved through selecting ripe coffee beans with high sugar content, roasting them to ensure high solubility, and keeping the roast light to avoid excessive caramelization.
Hospitality at Father Carpenter goes beyond mere service. They focus on reducing "negative sticky spots"—moments that could negatively impact a guest's experience. They strive to make guests feel comfortable and well-informed from the moment they arrive, ensuring that any potential confusion or discomfort is addressed proactively.
Transparency and honesty are core values at Father Carpenter. They commit to releasing an annual Transparency Report, detailing their coffee sourcing and providing as much information as possible about their products. They strongly oppose the greenwashing prevalent in the coffee industry and are dedicated to maintaining integrity in their operations.
In essence, Father Carpenter is dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere, roasting exceptional coffee, and fostering a culture of honesty and transparency in the coffee industry.
