"Roasteries" - the roasteries-finder does exactly: It finds Roasteries in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. With the surround-search the app finds roasters round the current position (25 / 50 / 100 km radius) - first as a list, and if you wish also as a map (this might produce additional costs in foreign countries, depending on your provider - the app informs you also about this possibility). Perfect, if you need coffee beans during your travel. and for coffee-junkies it would be annoying to miss a roastery on your trip… With the free search you can search for roasters directly or you can search for cities and show the results in the map, perfect for planing a vacation. Other functions: - Shows the webpage of the roasters in a own view or in the browser - Call a roastery directly from the app - Send email directy from the app to a roastery - Add Roasteries to your address book - "Report"-button, to give feedback for a selected roaster: f.e. if direct sale is possible, if the info changed or what your impression of the coffee brand is. - Reference source for the coffee brands (very helpful in foreign countries) - how far the subjective comments from Ralf Duggen (german) about the brands are helpful, is your decision. The database comes from http://www.espressosorten.de The website is a independent, add free catalog of about 1640 Roasteries. Here is it possible to add comments for the brands and informations about "best use before" (will be also implemented in one of the next versions of the app) Note: the completeness and correctness of the datas is not guaranteed. Every feedback will help to keep the datas up to date.

Find a great cup anywhere, log every visit, and keep the record of everywhere coffee has taken you. Seen our "Great Coffee Inside" sticker on a café window? This is the app behind it. Shops that care put it up, and the map of all of them is in your pocket. FIND GREAT COFFEE, ANYWHERE Open the map in any city and see the specialty coffee shops around you. Search as you move, and filter by what matters: open now, newest, nearest, or the shops you have saved. When you land somewhere new, Best Near Me ranks the shops within walking distance by rating against how far you would walk. Every listing carries what decides a visit: photos, opening hours, the espresso machine and grinder on the bar, the roasters served, and separate ratings for coffee, service and place. LOG EVERY VISIT One tap saves the moment: the shop, what you drank, a photo, a note. Your visits build into a timeline of your coffee life, chaptered by trip. That flat white in Lisbon two years ago? Still there. SET YOUR YEARLY CHALLENGE How many coffee shops will you visit this year? Pick a number and watch the count climb, visit by visit, with a home-screen widget that keeps score. TAKE A SHIFT BEHIND THE BAR Shake your phone for Coffee Run: a 60-second shift at the counter. Take the order, carry the cup, don't spill a drop. Everyone plays the same floor each day. Your best, your regulars and your Barista Path are yours. TRAVEL LIKE A COFFEE PERSON Roasters was built for the specialty coffee traveller. One reviewer put it best: "It changed the way I travel. I started looking for accommodation only near a coffee shop." Plan the trip around the coffee. This is the map for it. RATE, REVIEW, BELONG Rate the coffee, the service and the place separately, and tag the drinks you tried so the next person knows what to order. See what your city is drinking, follow reviewers around the world, and climb the leaderboard, or quietly read along. AND THE REST Lists to build, public or private. Roasters as first-class citizens, not just cafés. Coffee jobs and events, posted by the shops themselves. Keeps working on a weak signal. Roasters is free to explore and free to log. Roasters Pro adds the power tools: Best Near Me, the open-now and nearest filters, review translation, and unlimited map searches. Great coffee inside. Go find it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Roasteries at none against Roasters's 19. Roasteries also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). Roasters's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 7 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
