Meet the Roaster: Differente Coffee / DIFFERENTE COFFEE | Café de especialidad
Sourced and roasted in Colombia, with the goal of challenging the conventional and telling the story of coffee in the country is the drive behind Differente Coffee in Caldas, Colombia. This roaster and shop, that was recently voted as Colombia’s best coffee shop by The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops, is helmed by Carlos Escobar, who placed 3rd in the World Brewer’s Cup in 2025.
We briefly met Carlos while on coaching duties in the 2025 World Brewer’s Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia, and again during World of Coffee in San Diego earlier this year. We are inspired by his humility, passion, and eagerness to cooperate and govern back to the coffee community. We are honored to partner with Differente as our guest roaster for the month and to able to share these special coffees with our own community here in Indianapolis.
Currently, enjoy a washed Gesha from producer Jhoan Vergara on Pour Over, delighting us with notes of red apple & jasmine, as well as a fun & funky experimental natural SL-28 from producer Edison Argote on Unique espresso, reminding us of blue raspberry & cherry slushee.
Experience world class coffees from all around the world, only at your favorite neighborhood gas station turned coffeeshop.
It’s a pleasure to serve you!
