You should add https://www.roastworks.co.uk/ in the UK - they are surprisingly affordable for great quality, their Guji Natural is a staple in my ever changing bean selection I have at home.

You should also add notes coffee roasters from the UK: https://notescoffee.shop/products/iwd-pao-villages-myanmar?v...

This Myanmar coffee is what got me exploring beans outside Ethiopia and Kenya again

Also Story coffee https://www.storycoffee.co.uk/ - their Christmas roast with beans from Sidamo in 2023 has me still thinking about them

And finally Roca Junior from Munich: they are by far the best roasters in Munich and I could name a few more good ones there https://rocajunior.de/

Ok and at least one honorable mention from a trip I recently did to Toulouse: Cerise - outstanding fruity natural processed beans and balanced roasts: https://lecafecerise.fr/boutique-cafes/

I could give many more recommendations of local roasters in European cities, I try to visit as many as possible when I travel, take bags home and mark them on google maps. I guess some are difficult to get shipped/order online but this DB could also be great to find local gems in your area
