Bertschi Cafe

Founded over 80 years ago, Fritz Bertschi AG is a coffee roastery and online retailer based in Birsfelden, Switzerland. The company specializes in sourcing, roasting and direct-to-consumer sales of specialty coffee beans. Its product range includes more than 50 coffee varieties in formats ranging from whole beans to ground coffee, alongside cascara tea made from coffee cherry husks. Most of the coffee is certified organic (Bio Suisse or EURO-Bio) and Fair Trade (Max Havelaar), with direct import relationships established with agricultural cooperatives in origin countries. The roastery offers a roasting and grinding service (Röst- und Mahlservice) and hosts tasting events. The company emphasizes transparency in its supply chain and explicitly states it imports selected raw coffee directly from cooperatives in producing countries, rejecting intermediaries. Certifications visible on its website include Bio Suisse, EURO-Bio, Demeter and Max Havelaar Fair Trade. The company also operates a factory shop (Fabrikladen) and coffee museum (Kaffeemuseum) at its Birsfelden location.
