About Us

Nestled in the heart of Vienna, Schmähbohne was born from a passion for coffee that echoes the city's legendary coffee house culture. We source the finest single-origin beans from ethical farms in Latin America and Africa, roasting them in small batches to unlock nuanced flavors that tell a story in every cup. Our roasters, inspired by Vienna's Schmäh – that delightful wit and warmth – create distinctive blends that dance between tradition and innovation. With a team of 20 dedicated artisans, from green coffee buyers like Lena Leitner and Zeynep Kaya to head roasters Lukas Gruber and Matthias Huber, we obsess over every temperature profile. Whether for specialty cafes, pro baristas, or home enthusiasts, our coffees are roasted to highlight bright acidity, chocolate notes, or fruity elegance, always with sustainability at heart. Our seasonal offerings infuse Viennese humor and heritage, turning each sip into a moment of joy and discovery. Visit our roastery to experience the magic firsthand.
