“Made for taste, not for show.” Field started in Berlin in 2021 with a simple idea: really good coffee that can just be drunk and enjoyed, without it turning into a test. It roasts every week in Berlin, to order, and ships across Europe, so the coffee arrives days off the roaster.

The range runs from brighter modern coffees to richer, darker ones, and each is roasted to taste good rather than to prove a point. Five blends stay the same all year, with names meant to be remembered and profiles that are easy to tell apart, and a single-origin filter changes with the seasons. Selected blends include a Brazilian Fine Robusta, a quality grade assessed with standards developed for Robusta, which Field spent a long time looking for.

Taster sets put three coffees in one box, and a subscription mixes coffees, bag sizes and grinds, delivered every 15, 30 or 45 days. Field also sells Sage, Lelit and Baratza espresso machines and grinders. It works with partners in cycling and design, including Standert Bicycles and the Berlin brand Ucon Acrobatics, on special-edition coffees, and its Field Trips series profiles partner cafés in Hamburg, Leipzig and Berlin.
