Visiting Van Gülpen, Germany's oldest coffee roastery
Hosts, participants and the assisting team of the 2016 German Coffee Roaster Championship all shared a pizza at the Van Gülpen roastery in Emmerich, invited there by Lutz Reinhardt-van Gülpen who is one of the competing roasters and also the current director of the company which was founded in 1832.
The meal and a locally brewed specialty beer were enjoyed in the old library / cupping room which has been preserved and moved from the original location into the current building. Many machines in the roastery are as historic as the firm itself and in the production hall few details remind the visitor that it is the year 2016, even though the roastery is very successful to this day.
