About Almalomb coffee
Almalomb is a 18th century water mill. It is my heritage. It is my family’s place. A story told and remembered. Past, present and future. The old mill is no longer functional, it is turned into Almalomb Culinary Retreat & Meetingplace, housing a restaurant, an event place and an apartment house opened to the public in 2015. In 2021 we embarked on a new journey: Almalomb Coffee was born. Stemming from the same passion for authenticity, honest simplicity and outstanding quality Almalomb stands for, we created our coffee business. We opened our coffee processing facility in Pécs, Hungary in 2021 with the vision to bring the perfect coffee experience to as many homes as possible, in a simple and environmentally friendly way.
Our Roastery
We established a small factory with the best coffee processing technology from Italy. We cover the full process from green beans to ready to be brewed coffee in various forms, according to your preferred brewing method and coffee drinking habits. We source green beans, then we test them to define the roast profile which brings the best out of each variety. We offer a sortiment of unique, high quality, affordable coffees. We do not define ourselves as specialty coffee roastery, however we source the best affordable coffees from around the world, which often qualify to the definition of specialty coffee. We offer beans, and coffee grinded to the desired level of fineness, if you have the equipment and interest to brew your own coffee. We produce also capsules, if you wish to enjoy a good cup every day, but you are short on time, or have no special brewing equipment. Our coffee capsules are made with Zero Impact, home compostable Nespresso compatible capsules, with high oxygen barrier and flashed with nitrogen to retain the aromas longer. You can try our products in Almalomb Culinary Retreat and Meetingplace and can order them online.
We also offer private label production services, if you wish to have your own coffee brand or coffee capsules, but you do not have the technology or the capacity. Our operation is scalable in terms of volume and complexity.
Our Team
Our small team comprises of extraordinary characters, who bring a great variety of backgrounds to the party, sharing the passion for exploring unbeaten paths and making the impossible attainable.

Sustainability
We treat sustainability in a holistic manner; our aim is to create and distribute value starting from responsible sourcing, through packaging design, to materials used in the production process. We carefully evaluate each step to minimize environmental impact, consider social and economic impact, while offering outstanding quality, simplicity and ease of use. Our process is transparent and can be traced through the value chain.
Our beans and grinded coffees are packed to industrial compostable bags with ecological ink. These packages must be treated same as milk or juice cartons when you select your waste. Our capsules are packed in fully home compostable materials from the capsules through the box till the ink and glue. Our bio-mass based capsules decompose in 26 weeks in a home environment. If you select bio waste separately you can home composte it like any vegetable-based bio waste. If you live in an apartment or have no composting possibility, you can treat it as landfill waste, and it will decompose at the waste treatment facility. Our packaging design aims to eliminate hazardous or non-compostable components and minimize the usage of unnecessary materials and colors, enhancing the beauty of functional simplicity.
Responsible Sourcing
We try to find coffee farmers and buy from them directly. When it is not possible, we look for farms who are certified as organic, or follow Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance principles. We particularly appreciate to work with organizations, like the Indonesian Orangutan project who are involved in local community and nature preservation initiatives. We believe that all participants in the chain shall benefit from the value created, hence our products and processes are honest and transparent. We intend to share the story of the bean and connect the farm with the cup.
