About Aliena Coffee Roasters

Aliena Coffee Roasters brings a different perspective to Rome's specialty coffee scene. Founded in 2021, the roastery grew out of a journey through Melbourne, London and Berlin, with experience at Allpress and The Barn shaping its approach to coffee. Based in Rome, Aliena works exclusively with single-origin coffees, selecting beans at origin and paying close attention to terroir, botanical varieties and processing.

Its roasting philosophy centres on developing sweetness and acidity while preserving the character of each harvest. From Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees to Colombian and Brazilian lots, the range invites drinkers to explore different origins rather than settle for a single house profile. For specialty coffee enthusiasts, Aliena is a Roman roaster worth discovering.
