MAME Coffee 🇨🇭

MAME Coffee arrived on the Zurich specialty scene in 2016 and, in a remarkably short span of time, established itself as one of the most respected roasters in Switzerland. The name — the Japanese word for 'bean' — signals the founding team's philosophical approach: a deep, meditative attention to the raw material and an unwillingness to let anything stand between the coffee's natural character and the cup. The roastery sources its beans through direct and transparent relationships with farmers, prioritising lots of genuine distinction from producers who share MAME's commitment to care and quality. The roasting style leans toward the lighter end of the spectrum — an approach favoured by the modern European specialty movement — allowing the inherent character of each origin to express itself with clarity and brightness. The resulting coffees are intellectually engaging as well as deeply pleasurable: Ethiopia might offer florals and stone fruit; Colombia, caramel and red apple; Guatemala, chocolate and brown spice. MAME's café and roastery in Zurich has been repeatedly listed among the top coffee destinations in Switzerland and features in leading European specialty guides. The team's hospitality is warm and knowledgeable without ever being intimidating — a quality that makes their space equally welcoming to the curious newcomer and the seasoned connoisseur. MAME represents the very best of contemporary Swiss specialty coffee.
