Our story

Shaping the Specialty Coffee Culture

AREA 51 Artisan Coffee Roasters was founded in 2016 – as a specialty project of KAFEA TERRA, the roaster behind Dimello, created specifically for specialty coffee bars.

The name is inspired by the mysterious Area 51 in the Nevada desert: at its own site in Paiania near Athens, the team runs its “secret” coffee research lab. Specialty coffees with unique origins are selected from around the world – for espresso and filter alike – and accompanied with a scientific approach from evaluation and roasting all the way to the cup.

  • Specialty coffeeCarefully selected origins and micro-lots.
  • Freshly roastedIn small batches for maximum flavour.
  • Science & passionResearch, precision and craftsmanship.
  • CompatibleSpecialty capsules for Nespresso®* machines.

The lab behind the cup
