Rocket Bean coffee

Rocket Bean is a prominent specialty coffee brand that has become a cornerstone of the Baltic coffee scene. Founded in 2013 and officially opening its flagship roastery in Riga, Latvia, in 2015, the brand was the brainchild of entrepreneurs Mārtiņš Dzenis, Ancis Romanovskis, and Aivars Rodčenko. They transitioned from their initial venture, King Coffee Service (established in 2007 to provide high-end coffee equipment), into full-scale specialty roasting to address a gap in the Latvian market for premium, fresh-roasted beans.

All Rocket Bean products are roasted and packaged at their facility in Riga, which utilizes advanced technology such as the Loring Smart Roaster to ensure precision and sustainability. The brand operates with a focus on 'logical buying,' sourcing green beans from renowned coffee-growing regions like Ethiopia, Kenya, and Central America through trusted importers rather than direct trade to maximize efficiency and quality.

As of 2026, Rocket Bean remains an independently owned entity under the management of its original founders. It continues to lead the Northern European market, balancing its artisanal roastery roots with a robust retail presence and specialty cafes. The company is legally associated with SIA King Coffee Service, maintaining its headquarters and primary operations in Riga, Latvia.
