A new specialty coffee roastery built from years behind the bar.
We started with coffee stands, grew into cafes and bistros in Prague, and turned that experience into coffee roasted exactly the way we imagine it.
2026
Šťáva is a new roastery with several years of coffee, bar, and cafe experience behind it.
Zdoňov
We built the roastery close to the rocks, where clean air and quiet give the coffee its own kind of space.
Diedrich DR12
Our main roaster runs on clean propane and gives us the control we need for consistent, expressive profiles.
From coffee stands to our own roastery.
We are a new specialty coffee roastery, founded in 2026, but our experience goes back several years. We first started with two coffee stands, then worked our way toward running brick-and-mortar cafes and bistros in Prague.
That is why we decided to turn our knowledge of coffee into our own product and move it to the next level. Roasting had always been our goal, and we are excited to now share coffee made exactly according to our own ideas.
We built the roastery near Adršpach in Zdoňov, and we believe the local clean air also plays a part in the quality of our beans. We like escaping here from the rush of the big city and the loud life of our cafes.
Matěj, co-owner and our head roaster, bought a house here, so it was natural to connect our interests with his skill and precision.
Because our coffee is simply juicy.
The name came several years before the roastery itself, back when we were testing roasting on a ROEST L100 in our former espresso bar Zašívárna in Nusle. That machine is still with us today for limited releases and sample roasting.
The main figure in our logo is Pan Šťavík. He likes warming himself in the sun, drinks a lot of coffee, and sometimes climbs rocks. He is an athlete in body and soul. The visual identity was created by Ferdinand Kacler, graphic designer and typographer.
Our roasting technology and philosophy.
We roast our coffee on an American-made Diedrich DR12 connected to clean propane. The overall airflow of the machine is just as important to us, and it is unique especially thanks to the cool air coming from the Adršpach rocks.
Together with precision, careful observation of the coffee, and thoughtful selection of flavor profiles, this forms the foundation of our roasting philosophy. The consistency of our coffee is fully in the hands of our roaster Matěj, who can draw one curve after another with remarkable precision.
Who stands behind Šťáva?
Gabriela and Stanislav Hampl are managers, baristas, and spouses. In Prague we currently run three cafes where you can find our coffee: Čekárna near Vyšehrad, Kavárna Dejvického divadla, and Ademi shop & cafe, the flagship for our roastery.
Stanislav has been working in the cafe world for 18 years. He is behind our coffee selection, new ideas, consulting, and takes care of clients who, in most cases, are also his friends.
Gabriela focuses more on the finished product, marketing, and making sure everything else works as it should. You may not see her behind the roaster, but without her this e-shop would not exist.
Matěj Lomský spent several years moving between hospitality businesses and film sets. He can repair both a coffee machine and a car, and his biggest strengths are precision and understanding the roasting machine he controls manually, using probe data and roast curves on the computer.
Matěj is responsible for roasting, packing the coffee, and preparing the shipments themselves, which makes him a fundamental part of the company and the person directly responsible for the quality of your orders.
Roasting was always the goal.
Now we get to share coffee made our way: juicy, precise, and connected to the places and people that brought us here.
