Our Promise “

Coffee as a pause,
not as fuel.

We believe good coffee deserves good tools — and that good tools make you slow down for a moment. Grind, pour, smell, drink. Three minutes where the world stops pulling.

No coffee here is pushed across the counter in 20 seconds. Here it’s brewed — with the care it deserves and the time you’re allowed to give yourself.

Concept Café

Finally, a place to experience Graycano.

Since 2020 we’ve developed brewing tools for people who take coffee seriously — the cast aluminium dripper, the Cupcanos, the Pourcano. You’ll find our products in 30+ countries. But until now, there was no place to truly experience them.

We built that place.

Everything we make stands in daily use here — not in display cases. You drink from a Cupcano. Your pour-over runs through the Graycano Dripper. At the espresso machine we consciously use the best equipment that exists, even when it’s not from us. What matters is the coffee in the cup.

Same with the beans: much of it we select ourselves, direct trade, carefully cupped. The rest we bring in from partner roasters and Brewers Cup competitors — because they do something we want to celebrate. These special beans live in our Frozen Menu.

Plus Brazilian food from Minas Gerais, Nicole’s home state. Coxinhas, Pão de Queijo, Brigadeiros. Real food. Real coffees. Real tools. All in one place.

01 / TOOLS

Ours & The Best

Filter coffee with the Graycano Dripper, Cupcanos on the tables, Pourcano behind the counter. At the espresso machine we use whatever fits us best — even if it’s not our own.

02 / BEANS

Own Selection + Partners

Our house beans are direct-trade and self-cupped. For special cups we bring in beans from partner roasters and Brewers Cup competitors — served through the Frozen Menu.

Kitchen from Minas Gerais

What Nicole knows as snacks from home, you taste here. Small, warm, honest — and surprising for a German café.

The Location

A café inside
a car dealership.

Sounds strange. Maybe it is, a little. But the Brew Bar sits inside the BMW and MINI dealership on Zwickauer Straße — a place where people pass through every day with time to spare. Test drive, service, waiting time, coffee.

Instead of a pod machine in the corner, we wanted something else. A real specialty coffee bar that stands on its own. High ceilings, quiet light, open view. Whether you’re here for a car or just for a really good coffee in Leipzig: you’re equally welcome.

It’s an unusual place for a coffee. That’s exactly what makes it so good.

Pour Over · Filter Coffee

How we brew your filter coffee.

Our filter coffee always runs through the Graycano Dripper — which we designed ourselves. Cast aluminium, food-safe silicone coating, a geometry that guides water through the coffee bed differently than anything else on the market.

What this means in the cup: a cleaner, sweeter, more balanced profile. What it means in the café: you can watch it being made while you drink.

Choose Your Bean

You decide which bean we brew. Ask about the tasting notes — or let us surprise you.

Grind & Bloom

Fresh ground, then a short bloom. The first 30 seconds often smell the best.

Lava Ribs & Air Pockets

The ribs guide water evenly — the air pockets hold the temperature stable.

3–5 Minutes Pause

That’s all it takes. Take them anyway.

Graycano Dripper

The first dripper made from cast aluminium with food-safe silicone coating. Lava Ribs and Air Pockets for even extraction and stable brew temperature.

Cast Aluminium · Food-safe Silicone · 96/98/66 mm · ~250 g · Made in China & Portugal

Frozen Menu · Special Edition

Beans that normally end up in competitions.

Our Frozen Menu is a rotating selection of exceptional beans — many from partner roasters and Brewers Cup competitors. Flash-frozen right after roasting and portioned so every cup starts exactly where the roaster left off.

Freezing preserves the volatile aromatics that are normally lost in storage. The bean becomes more brittle, grinds finer and more evenly — and the cup becomes cleaner, more expressive, more precise.

→ WHAT

Flash-Frozen Specialty Beans

Beans frozen directly after roasting at −20°C or colder. Locks in flavor — aromatics stay as fresh as on roast day.

→ WHY

Cleaner, More Precise Cup

Cold, brittle beans grind more evenly. The result: less bitterness, more sweetness, significantly cleaner aroma profiles.

→ WHO

Brewers Cup Roasters

Beans from roasteries and competition baristas we admire. We open the stage — you drink what usually only judges get.

What Brazil brings to the table

Four little favourites.

Four things you won’t find like this anywhere else in Leipzig. Come by and work your way through them.

→ Favourite Snack

Coxinha de Frango

Teardrop-shaped, golden-fried, soft inside. In Brazil you find Coxinhas at every bakery corner — and everyone has their favourite version. Ours has tender chicken ragout, carefully seasoned, freshly fried.

If you’ve never had one: this is the snack that makes people come back. Order two. Then three.

€ 1,40 · also available vegan with palm heart

→ Lunch Classic

Misto Quente

The Brazilian “Misto” is the warm sibling of the sandwich: two slices of soft bread, melted cheese, ham, pan, butter, done. Ours features truffle ham — a small upgrade we treat ourselves to.

Sounds simple. Tastes like a São Paulo afternoon when you only meant to pop in and stayed three hours.

€ 7,90 · vegetarian as Queijo Quente € 6,20

→ Brazil to Go

Pão de Queijo

Gluten-free little balls of cassava starch and cheese. Crispy outside, airy and elastic inside. In Minas Gerais — Nicole’s home — they’re part of breakfast, coffee, everything in between.

We bake fresh several times a day. When the trays come out of the oven, you can smell it all the way to the counter.

€ 1,40 · vegetarian · gluten-free

→ Brazilian Refreshment

Matte Leão Iced Tea

On every stretch of beach in Rio, a vendor walks through the sand with “Mate, Mate!” This roasted mate tea is Brazil’s answer to a hot day — slightly sweet, herbaceous, with lime.

We serve it ice-cold. Fresh lime slice on top. After three sips you’ll understand why Brazilians won’t have summer without it.

From Minas Gerais, with love

Brazil
on a plate.

Nicole, one of our co-founders, has her roots in Minas Gerais. What she brought with her in terms of coffee culture and food culture, you taste at every table in the Brew Bar. Coxinha de Frango, Pão de Queijo, Brigadeiros, Misto Quente — and of course Brazil’s favourite cocoa drink Nescau in the cup.

Brew The Moment — this is also where it comes from. This menu is the one we want to eat ourselves. Small, warm, honest. And that’s exactly why it’s here.

Our Story

Brewing moments
that last a lifetime.

We don’t build tools. We build companions for people who appreciate the beauty of brewing. At Graycano we believe moments at the table last longer than products.

Where it began

Graycano started in 2020 with a simple idea at a kitchen table in northern Germany: create a coffee experience that’s meant to last and that you truly enjoy. From a first sketch of a dripper grew a mission bigger than just brewing.

Felix and Nicole wanted to find a way to slow down in a fast world. The sketch became the Graycano Dripper: cast aluminium, food-safe silicone, rapid preheating, stable temperature, cleaner cup profiles. Robust. Durable. Like nothing else out there.

More than just tools

Graycano isn’t about products. It’s about what happens around them. The moment you slow down. Five quiet morning minutes. The warmth of the cup in your hands. The aroma, the pour, the first sip.

With the Brew Bar we finally have a place that doesn’t describe this feeling — it delivers it.

The team behind the volcano

We’re a small team — and we do everything ourselves. Build, design, pack, code, test, retest, answer every email. Felix leads product and design. Nicole brings strategy, sales, and her Brazilian energy. Frederik builds the tech, logistics, quality.

Two quiet northern Germans, one warm Brazilian. We don’t have it all figured out — but we genuinely care. That gets you surprisingly far.

The Farm in Brazil

Half a world away, in the hills of Minas Gerais, lies Fazenda Jacarezal — the heart of our sustainability project “My Tree”. Run by farmer Paulo and his team, this is where our coffee actually begins.

With My Tree you adopt a coffee tree, give it a name, receive updates and photos. No marketing stunt. Personal, fair, with jobs on site. And when your tree bears fruit: you get the beans.
