Recently, Mike McConnell chatted with Danielle and Laura Kosann of The New Potato about Caffe Vita on the Lower East Side:

Caffe Vita roasts all of our coffee on vintage German made coffee roasters. We roast daily in our Ludlow St. cafe using an antique cast iron Gothot roaster from the early 1900s. We are the first and only wholesale coffee roaster to roast on-site in Manhattan.
