About The Miners Coffee
We are The Miners — a specialty coffee roastery and a coffee shop chain.
Initially, the idea was to open a cultural hub for people to work on their projects while surrounded by like-minded and ambitious people.
We opened our first coffee shop in March 2019, and since then never stopped moving forward and kept expanding; from a single store in Slavíkova, Prague, we moved on to open other locations, including one in Barcelona, Spain. As well as a bakery to serve fresh pastries and desserts daily, a roastery and implemented coffee shops in coworking spaces and offices.
We work only with specialty coffee and often source it directly from the farmers. We do all the hard work and put our minds to doing all the research so our customers can enjoy great coffee. No matter how good your coffee is, you will always need a team of skilled baristas to bring the roaster's vision to life. That is why we created a comprehensive one-week-long training program for all our baristas, which they finish by taking an exam, to ensure they have all the knowledge and skills to ensure we are always ready to serve you the best cup of coffee. Another important area is the machinery; our high-quality equipment includes La Marzocco and Slayer coffee machines.

We successfully crowdfunded compostable capsules compatible with Nespresso machines so that you can enjoy our coffee from the comfort of your home, even without fancy grinders and equipment, for a quick but still well-balanced and tasteful cup of coffee.
