How to read this. Every entry is “worth knowing”, but they sit at different editorial stages. Verified Roaster entries have been confirmed and link to our directory. Research in progress entries are strong candidates we’re still working through. Café and brand entries surface here for completeness even when they may not be a roaster strictly.

Sources include Roastful, Sprudge Maps, Roast Magazine’s Roaster of the Year program, World Coffee Championships, and The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops. This is 0 verified of 270 surfaced; the rest are being worked through in subsequent passes.
