Vu Coffee Roasters

Vu Coffee Roasters is based in Sligo, Ireland, and is the work of a founder who grew up in Vietnam's coffee culture before spending years in Australia's third wave scene. That combination of Vietnamese tradition and Australian specialty influence shapes the approach, which places particular emphasis on understanding bean varieties and processing methods at origin level.

The roastery is notable for its founder having built his own roasting machine, a project that grew from a background in mechatronics engineering and a long-standing interest in coffee chemistry. Vu operates from Sligo with a focus on the Irish market, describing its approach as roasting to the individual customer's taste rather than a fixed house profile.
