People Possession is a Paris-based specialty coffee roastery founded in 2023 by Alexis Gagnaire (also the founder of the acclaimed Tanat Coffee). Exclusively wholesale, the company builds direct relationships with producers to secure rare varietals and unique lots, notably anaerobics and co-ferments. They roast light-to-medium to preserve complexity and package coffee in limited-edition cans featuring original artwork by independent artists and designers. Scoring 90+ points and averaging 4.9/5 across Europe’s top cafés – People Possession has established itself as a standard-bearer for transparency, sourcing, precision roasting and creative branding in the specialty coffee scene.
