Randall Coffee Roasters has roasted specialty coffee in Madrid since 2013. It began as a micro-roaster working only with single origins, and it roasts to order. By its own account it was a pioneer of specialty micro-roasting in the city. Its roastery is in Alcalá de Henares, with a Giesen roaster.

Randall works closely with the farms it buys from, coordinating changes and improvements in processing through constant feedback with each producer, and it imports its green coffee itself by land, sea and air without intermediaries. For a time it served its roasts at a coffee stand in the Mercado de Vallehermoso. That stand has closed, and the team now serves coffee at markets, fairs and corporate events with its Coffee Cart and baristas.

For cafés and other professional clients it supplies wholesale coffee, helps set up new coffee shops and distributes machinery from brands such as La Marzocco, Mahlkönig and Victoria Arduino. Its barista, filter brewing, latte art and roasting courses take place in a training room inside the roastery, for up to five people at a time.

The shop sorts its coffees by roast, for espresso, filter or both, in 250 g and 1 kg bags, whole bean or ground. The Amazonia espresso blend pairs its Brazilian Fazenda Matão and Colombian Finca Roma, and the decaf is a Peruvian coffee from San Martín.
