Hot & Honorable

LF Coffee

A varied, genuinely interesting selection anchors LF Coffee’s program, roasted light and precisely so sweetness, clarity, and place stay in front. The focus is single origin lots with classic processing, and labels are producer forward with farm, process, and lot easy to read. Across seasons the cups are steady and priceworthy, with a clear through line of transparency, restraint, and reliable quality.

Background

Founded in 2017, LF Coffee (formerly Leuchtfeuer) is based in Wedel near Hamburg and roasts with a quality-first mindset and a modern, tech-driven production setup. The philosophy pairs seasonal, high-scoring lots with a light touch on filter roasts to keep sweetness and clarity front and center, while espresso profiles stay restrained to preserve origin character. The range mixes accessible single origins with premium, small-lot selections from producers in Panama, Kenya, Ethiopia, and beyond, including competition-grade releases; detailed product pages explain origin, process, and preparation clearly.

Panel evaluation

Cups read sweet and clean with tidy acidity on classic profiles, while experimental releases add vivid aromatics in a more process led expression. The selection is large, genuinely interesting, and consistently good, giving plenty to explore across seasons. Packaging and product pages are information forward, with producer, harvest context, and processing explained plainly, which builds trust even when flavors are bold. The lineup also includes occasional medium roasted coffees and some blends, which tend to soften origin lines and sit outside our Nordic style focus. Even so, the single origin light roast side is strong enough to merit its place here.

LF Coffee’s roastery in Wedel is a clean, industrial lab-like space where modern roasting equipment and neatly stacked green coffee frame a compact bar at the edge of the production floor. At the counter, a short menu of espresso and filter tastings built from their seasonal lineup of high-clarity coffees turns the roastery into a quiet destination for exploring LF Coffee Lab in the cup.
