Hello there!
I'm Sandro Roth.
I am Bar Sandro.
Industrial designer by trade, coffee cocktail obsessive by accident. What began as a 100-day coffee and cocktail challenge during the pandemic turned into a hobby, then a first competition — and a first title.
I've also seen competitions from the other side of the table, serving twice as a judge at coffee competitions. Today I work independently as Bar Sandro: guest shifts and café takeovers around the world, coaching the next generation of competitors, and building drinks with a designer's eye for detail.

The concept
A bar in a suitcase.Coffee cocktails in a flash.
Bar Sandro doesn't have a fixed address. It pops up for a night behind someone else's bar — a café in Vienna, a cocktail bar in Vancouver — and brings a short menu of coffee cocktails with it.
- 01
Take over
A guest shift at your bar or café. I work alongside your team, with your coffee and your space.
- 02
Pour
A one-night menu of coffee cocktails, built around your beans and local spirits.
- 03
Move on
Then the suitcase is packed for the next city. What stays: the recipes, the photos and a few new regulars.

Espresso Beans
My own single-origin espresso: 100% Parainema, naturally processed at Finca Los Cipreses in Nicaragua. Dark chocolate, ripe plum and red wine, with a hint of cedar wood — rich as a straight shot, smooth under milk and made to go into a coffee cocktail.
