About
Drop Coffee Roasters is the Stockholm-based specialty coffee roastery and cafe that has, over the past decade and a half, earned a reputation as one of the most decorated roasters in Europe. Founded in Södermalm — the working creative heart of Stockholm — Drop has placed at the top of multiple World Coffee Roasting Championships and built a sustained reputation in independent specialty press.
The flagship cafe and roastery at Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 10 has been an anchor of Stockholm's specialty coffee scene since the company's earlier years. The team's competition track record — repeated podium finishes at the World Coffee Roasting Championship — gave Drop a measurable credential at a time when many specialty roasters had to argue authority case-by-case.
Drop sits in the Nordic light-roast tradition, but with a roast curve that's slightly more developed than the most aggressive Scandinavian style — the result is a lineup that performs as filter but also pulls well as espresso. Single-origin filter coffees lead the menu, with rotating Ethiopian, Kenyan, and Central American microlots. Subscription and direct orders ship internationally.

Coffee & Beans Review
[Sprudge's Stockholm feature](https://sprudge.com/drop-coffee-stockholm-44099.html) is one of the most-cited profiles of the roastery, capturing both the design and the operational story. [The Coffeevine's cafe review](https://www.thecoffeevine.com/reviews/cafes/sweden/stockholm/drop-coffee/) adds an independent specialty-press perspective, and [Green Plantation](https://www.greenplantation.com/a/drop-coffee-roasters) maintains an ongoing profile. Beyond the press, the competition record speaks for itself — multiple top-three placings at the World Coffee Roasting Championship is among the most concrete third-party credentials a roaster can carry.
The Södermalm cafe is the obvious entry point — a five-minute walk from Mariatorget and right in the middle of what is, by most rankings, Stockholm's best specialty coffee district. The retail shop is well-stocked with Drop's own coffees plus a curated set of brewing gear.
