Welcome to Standout Coffee, where we don’t just roast beans – we roast dreams.

Standout Coffee is a Stockholm-based micro roastery working with some of the rarest coffees in the world. Founded by Swedish Barista Champions Oskar Garberg and Alexander Ruas, Standout Coffee was built around a simple idea: coffee can be more expressive, transparent, and memorable when every detail matters.

We source exceptional coffees from some of the most progressive producers in the world and roast them with quiet precision to reveal clarity, elegance, and origin. Every release is selected for character rather than volume. Rare coffees. Fresh harvests. Limited lots. Available briefly.

From washed high-elevation Gesha lots with delicate florals to deeply expressive modern fermentations with layered fruit complexity, our focus has always been on coffees that create emotion in the cup while remaining structured and clean.

Today, Standout Coffee ships coffee to a global community of coffee professionals and enthusiasts in more than 90 countries. Our coffees are brewed in homes, coffee bars, competitions, and tasting rooms around the world.

The company was founded by:

Oskar Garberg — Swedish Barista Champion, Nordic Barista Champion

Alexander Ruas — Swedish Barista Champion, Nordic Barista Champion, Swedish Brewers Cup Champion

In 2024, Standout Coffee was awarded Best Nordic Roaster at the Nordic Coffee Festival, a recognition of the work, consistency, and philosophy behind the company.

The ambition is not to follow trends, but to keep pushing the boundaries of what coffee can become when craftsmanship, sourcing, and experience work together.
