Hot & Honorable

Replica

A very small roastery in Leuven, Replica runs a producer first, single origin program with light, precise roasting that delivers high quality cups. Labels are clean and lot specific, and the range balances tidy washed profiles with measured experiments, with the White Series highlighting top tier classic lots.

Background

Founded in Leuven, Belgium, Replica Roasters is a small, precision minded roastery built around a simple idea, roast clean, transparent single origin coffees on modern, energy efficient equipment and make them easy to understand. The team roasts on a fully electric Stronghold S9X and states quality and sustainability as shared priorities, using renewable energy and a fixed weekly roast schedule to keep batches consistent. The offer list is clearly origin led, with named farms and stations from Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and with process and variety always visible. Occasional fermentation driven lots appear, but the style stays in a light, clarity focused frame.

Panel evaluation

Replica’s coffees taste tidy and sweet with a calm acidity and good definition between origins. Washed and honey lots show the clearest structure, while the occasional yeast or experimental release still lands in a clean frame, more about fruit lift than funk. Bags and product pages make the producer and mill easy to spot, with process, variety, and harvest laid out in straightforward language, so the cup connects quickly to place. Overall it is modern Belgian roasting with a clear technical backbone and an origin first voice.
