Munich's flagship third-wave roaster, opened in 2013 when specialty coffee was still a whispered rumour in Bavaria. The Müllerstraße café is the public face of the operation — a bright white-tiled room with a Mahlkönig grinder, Marzocco espresso machine, and the quiet intensity of a place that roasts its own beans and treats every pour as a provable claim. There is no schnitzel energy here; no Helles on tap. What there is: Kenyan single-origin pour-overs that actually taste like Kenyan coffee, a flat white built on milk textured to a specification, and staff who will discuss extraction yields with the curiosity of a good sommelier. Man Versus Machine trained many of the baristas who now run their own Munich cafés, which is the clearest evidence of institutional weight.

A pour-over of whichever single-origin is being featured that week — the team rotates through Kenya, Ethiopia, Colombia, and Costa Rica depending on harvest. The flat white is the benchmark milk drink. Pair with a small pastry from the counter; the baked goods are good, but coffee is the point.
Mid-morning from 10am on a weekday when the brunch crowd has thinned and you can get a seat at the window bar. Saturday afternoons are genuinely packed. The roastery itself (not this retail location) is on a quieter street if you want to see the operation.
Glockenbachviertel location, near Müllerstraße U-Bahn. This is the retail café, not the roastery — the roastery is at Adlzreiterstraße if you want the full operation. Laptop-friendly but not laptop-primary; at busy times you'll be politely encouraged to make space. Cards accepted. The team is patient with questions about beans and brewing but they are not in the mood to teach remedial coffee. Germany's specialty-coffee scene runs through this counter.
