Origines Bordeaux: un atelier de torréfaction complet signé IMF
De la sélection des producteurs bio à la maîtrise des profils aromatiques, Origines à Bordeaux fait confiance à la technologie IMF pour sublimer ses cafés de spécialité.
À Bordeaux, la maison Origines s’impose comme une référence pour celles et ceux qui recherchent des cafés et thés porteurs de sens. Fondée il y a 12 ans par Natalia Kupianskaya et Loïc Marion, l’entreprise est née d’une rencontre et d’une conviction: proposer des produits respectueux de la nature, traçables jusqu’au producteur, et torréfiés avec précision pour exprimer tout leur potentiel.
L’histoire commence simplement, avec la vente de thés et de cafés sélectionnés. Mais très vite, le couple constate une limite : le manque de traçabilité des cafés et une approche aromatique insuffisante dans la torréfaction externalisée. En quête de transparence et de qualité, ils décident de se lancer eux-mêmes dans la torréfaction. Un petit torréfacteur boutique de 2 kg leur permet de franchir le pas – et l’enthousiasme immédiat de leur clientèle confirme qu’ils avaient vu juste.
Quelques années plus tard…
L’aventure prend une nouvelle dimension avec l’installation d’un torréfacteur de plus grande capacité. En 2019, après un appel d’offres rigoureux, IMF s’impose comme le partenaire idéal.
«Nous cherchions un outil moderne, capable de garantir la reproductibilité des profils et d’intégrer un système complet avec silos de stockage»
explique Loïc Marion. L’efficacité énergétique a aussi pesé dans la balance: le système breveté de réutilisation de l’air chaud permet de réduire considérablement la consommation tout en limitant l’impact olfactif dans l’atelier – un point crucial pour Origines, qui produit aussi du thé.
Au fil des années, Origines a construit une identité forte. Son nom reflète l’importance accordée à la traçabilité: connaître les producteurs et les coopératives, comprendre leurs méthodes, et valoriser leur engagement écologique. Plus qu’un logo «bio», c’est une philosophie de vie qui unit la maison bordelaise à ses partenaires. Des voyages réguliers, comme la visite de la coopérative La Pradera en Colombie en 2024, nourrissent cette relation directe et humaine avec le terrain.
Aujourd’hui, chaque café est sélectionné pour enrichir la gamme par sa singularité. L’équipe déguste, échange, ajuste les profils de torréfaction afin d’offrir une expérience sensorielle unique. Grâce à la technologie IMF, la régularité est au rendez-vous: des cycles parfaitement reproductibles, une précision sans faille, et en trois ans d’utilisation, aucune panne à signaler.
Avec environ 200 tonnes torréfiées par an, Origines regarde déjà vers demain. L’ambition reste la même qu’au premier jour: donner du sens à chaque tasse, en valorisant les terroirs, en respectant la nature et en alliant innovation technologique et savoir-faire artisanal.
📅 Retrouvez IMF au Paris Coffee Show
Du 13 au 15 septembre 2025 au Parc Floral de Paris – Stand K16. L’occasion de découvrir la technologie qui accompagne des torréfacteurs engagés comme Origines.
Celsius Roasters Lyon: précision IMF pour café de spécialité
De la sélection des grains à la maîtrise de la torréfaction, IMF accompagne Celsius Roasters dans sa quête de qualité.
Celsius Roasters est né en 2022 à Lyon de la rencontre entre deux passions, partagées par Nicolas et Lucas: le vin et le café. Le déclic vient de la comparaison entre ces deux univers, car en France la culture du vin est très développée mais le café, bien qu’omniprésent est relégué au second plan.
«Pour un amateur de vin et de café, c’est perturbant: d’un côté, une carte des vins détaillée, de l’autre, seulement la mention “espresso” pour le café, sans aucune indication sur l’origine et encore moins le producteur»
Expliquent-ils. Ils ont donc décidé de prendre le taureau par les cornes et de rendre au café ses lettres de noblesse, tout en contribuant à rendre la filière plus responsable.
L’objectif?
Faire découvrir l’incroyable diversité du café, et accompagner les consommateurs dans un parcours de découverte et de dégustation éclairée, avec une attention particulière portée aux cafés d’exception.
«Pour nous, la torréfaction est comme la vinification: nous partons d’une matière première de qualité et nous la sublimons dans le respect de son terroir. Notre philosophie est moins mais mieux»
Racontent les fondateurs. Chaque jour, l’équipe s’oriente davantage vers les cafés d’exception, avec un engagement ferme en faveur de la précision, de la sélection à la torréfaction.
La sélection des cafés suit un protocole rigoureux: uniquement des cafés de spécialité, choisis à l’aveugle lors de séances de cupping sur échantillons torréfiés sur un torréfacteur d’échantillons. Cette exigence leur permet de proposer une gamme variée, allant des cafés brésiliens accessibles pour les professionnels en espresso, aux variétés rares colombiennes prisées des coffee geeks. Une diversité qui leur permet de toucher un public large, tout en maintenant un haut niveau de qualité.
«Dès les premières torréfactions, nous avons obtenu une clarté aromatique exceptionnelle. Le contrôle précis des paramètres, l’absence de scorching et la maîtrise des fumées grâce au brûleur intégré sont de véritables atouts pour notre travail en centre-ville»
Aujourd’hui, Celsius Roasters poursuit son chemin vers toujours plus de qualité et de diversité, avec l’ambition de devenir une référence européenne dans le café de spécialité.
