Launched in September 2025, the Roaster in Residence project brings a rotating selection of Italian roasteries to the Accademia Gran Bar, alongside our Classic Blend, Accademia’s reinterpretation of the Italian espresso, composed of 80% Brazil and 20% Ethiopia.

Each month, one or two roasters share their perspective on coffee through a curated espresso and filter offering, inviting guests to explore different origins, roasting styles and approaches.

For January, we are pleased to welcome Nowhere Roastery, a Milan-based specialty coffee roastery.

Nowhere was born from years of hands-on experience in coffee shops, training environments and behind the roaster. Their work begins with coffees that have a clear identity, sourced through trusted importers and partners who prioritize transparency, seasonality and close relationships with producers.

Their roasting approach is analytical and intentional. Each profile is designed to respect the coffee’s structure and to highlight origin, process and varietal character, rather than imposing a predefined style. Clarity is favored over intensity, balance over excess, and consistency over shortcuts.
This thoughtful approach results in a small, carefully curated selection of coffees, roasted to be honest, readable and enjoyable — both for professionals and for anyone simply looking for a great cup.
