The owner told me that since they’re a very small roaster (Torrefazione in Italian means a bar who roast its own coffee for consumption to the public and sale) they don’t have fixed dates so they roast as needed.
Pic related (not mine) is what you see when you enter the torrefazione, they have these big distributors filled with all the coffee they have on sale (they also have readily available Jamaica blue moon and several other luxury coffees such as Kopi Luwak that you can also have as 1 cup only of espresso if you ask) and when you order they fill your bags and roast new coffee when they’re low on the quantity inside the distributors.

It’s the same as Torrefazione Continental so don’t expect giga fresh coffee roasted on demand twice a week like Trabatti and Caffelab do.

Fun fact: Hodeidah, like Torrefazione Giamaica caffè, use a prewar machine from the 40s to roast coffee and theirs is powered by coal which is based as fuck because it makes leftists seethe.

I got 2 of my single origins roasted yesterday but they substituted one coffee I ordered (an Etiopia Sidamo) with a similar African coffee (Rwanda) because they were out of it and the owner gave me that one because the new Sidamo will be roasted in 10 days and he will give me a bag for free for the inconvenience once it’s ready.

So, in conclusion you need to know when they roast to get the freshest coffee possible, that’s why it’s better to go there in person buying.

Next time when I have more time I’ll go there and only buy fresh coffee, this time since I asked for the delivery I bought coffee for the whole month.

Let’s vacuum seal it and freeze these beans now.
