Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
This video features an interview with Ralf Rüller, the founder of The Barn Coffee Roasters in Berlin. He discusses his journey from London to Berlin, his philosophy on sourcing and roasting, and the importance of building a community with farmers and customers.
From European Coffee Trip:
“I'm very close to the product and in that sense, I'm also very close to the baristas and the head barista and the quality on my bar.”
“The roasting you learn by roasting. You can do roast classes. I've never done a roast class. I'm very self-educated.”
“I think the roast philosophy is very close to the sourcing philosophy. I think they are connected.”

26 lots in stock, mostly Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia.
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

Per-lot signals (averaged)
Vary across lots; averaged over 26 in-stock lots.
Bonuses earned (per lot)
Base components are renormalized over whatever signals are available for each lot. SCA + Coffee Review are capped at 40% combined to keep the cupping story from dominating. Bonuses (accolades, awards, editorial coverage) and freshness decay are applied on top.

One thread author's partner ordered The Barn on pour over at a multi-roaster cafe. Another thread author received beans from The Barn through a monthly Kumquat subscription and asked for brewing advice. A third thread author purchased new beans from The Barn and asked about resting and brewing.
…their coffee. Not a big fan of the automated Curtis pourover and sometimes their coffee selection is fairly dark. I ordered Dak on espresso, and my partner got The Barn on pour over. The Dak espresso was by far the best espresso I’ve had in a cafe in over a year. Absolutely phenomenal mouth feel clean complex, just st
