In today’s episode, we continue our series on the rise of specialty coffee in France and speak with Mihaela Iordache, Head Roaster at Paris’ iconic Belleville Brûlerie . Founded in 2013, Belleville is a pioneering specialty roaster, known for its high-quality coffees and the staff’s signature Bleu de Travail outfit – the classic French blue workwear jacket that’s become a symbol of their craft. In this conversation, Mihaela shares how France's coffee community and consumer habits have evolved in recent years, and why it took a little longer for specialty coffee to make its mark in a country famed for its traditional café culture.
