# Roasters

> Roasters is the specialty coffee app for the community — a guide to 23,000+ cafés and roasters across 126 countries and 3,601 cities, curated by baristas, reviewed by coffee people. iOS and Android. Brand line: "Great Coffee Inside."

Built for specialty coffee — light-roasted, single-origin, dialled-in espresso, the cafés that take their pour-over as seriously as their fit-out. The kind of places coffee people fly across the world for, and the everyday spots worth the walk before work.

Every café and roaster on Roasters is added and reviewed by the community: baristas, roasters, green buyers, and the people who actually drink the cup. No algorithmic ranking, no paid placements, no SEO clutter — just the specialty coffee scene the way it's lived.

Free to download. A Pro tier unlocks advanced filters, list creation, Forums access, and other power features.
