Kuntrawant

Coffee culture has been lived in Prato allo Stelvio since 1968 – at that time, the Gander family laid the foundation stone with Cafè Gander, which later became today's "Caffeebar Kuntrawant".

Josef Gander took over the family café and took the next step about 13 years ago : he began roasting the coffee himself. From this once crazy idea, an artisanal roastery has been created with a lot of dedication, which today stands for real taste, passion and character .

The beans come from selected growing areas along the coffee belt and consist exclusively of high-quality Arabica and Robusta qualities. Refined in small batches in the traditional drum roaster, the aromas – from fruity to chocolaty – can unfold their full character.

At Kuntrawant, coffee is an expression of lived passion.

Whether strong espresso or gentle filter coffee: each variety brings its own characteristics into play. Purchasing, roasting and preparation are perfectly coordinated. This creates moments of pleasure with fine nuances: red fruits, pecans, caramel, dark chocolate or nutty-spicy aromas delight in every cup.

With collections such as the organic filter coffee, the "Colpo Finale" espresso or the "Stelvio Endurance" blend, Kuntrawant covers a wide range – ideal for espresso machines, moka, hand brewers or fully automatic machines.

We at PACTORA offer exclusive access to the Swiss market, initially with 3 products. But all other Kuntrawant varieties are also available on request.

• Sotto Banco
• Decaf (caffeine-free)
• Stelvio (Endurance Espresso)

The coffee roasting company Kuntrawant combines alpine tradition with global sophistication. Each bean tells its story – from historic smuggling trails to the hearty enjoyment of today. We are pleased to be able to offer this passion to you and all other Swiss customers.
