about replica roasters

Replica is a micro roastery in Belgium founded from a shared fascination for what human intervention and nature can create together.

We are Jasper and Ester. Together we've built replica to create a playground to do things our way and share it with you. After about 20 years of combined experience in coffee and food, we wanted a space where our pursuit of excellence could thrive while having the freedom to source, create, adapt and launch at our own rhythm. 

The core of replica is craftsmanship. We aim to bring you high quality coffee that is consistently great. Being inspired by nature, going fossil fuel free was the only way for us. Roasting on the fully electrical Stronghold S9X allows us to use 100% local, renewable energy produced by the sun and the wind while replicating our roast profiles.

We only select the kind of coffees that we love to drink ourselves. Clarity, sweetness, juiciness and balance are the attributes we strive for. We have a preference for bright washed coffees or very clean naturals with smooth or silky textures and a hint of florality. You will never find over-fermented or boozy coffees in our line-up.

When selecting our coffees, we work with a few suppliers we trust deeply. We know that they put the coffee producers first. We believe that if more people buy coffee that’s sourced socially and environmentally sound the world would be a better place. We aim to source everything surrounding replica this way, as well as repurposing and reusing at every opportunity.

We source and roast with intention and with love for the product. We want you to enjoy the coffees we love, with maximum impact for the people behind it and minimum impact to the environment around us.
