—— First as featuring with GUSTATORY in our upcoming 09//26 (SEPT.) subscriptions, we travel to Brussels for Wide Awake.
Wide Awake Coffee Roasters was founded as a passion project in 2019 by Rutger. Today Wide Awake are a team of 8 geeky humans from different parts of the world, all passionate about learning and always looking for what’s better and nerding about coffee. Seasoned roasters, baristas, cuppers and service people, Wide Awake release their coffees as one of their 11 Series. Each series represent a certain taste profile that they use to source and roast the world’s best coffees, from Big and Bold to Wild and Funk. Every Series gets 4-5 releases per year, either from farmers with whom they’ve built a long-term relation, or from new, exciting producers.
Brussels is Wide Awake’s hometurf, their playground for roasting and brewing - Wide Awake’s roastery is based in the Magellan Parc at the Brussels canal, home to where they roast small but in consistent batches on a Loring S35.
