What are the European alternatives?

I mean, as far as beans go, they will just not be grown in Europe.

As for roasters, I'd encourage you to look to your local roasters. Freshly roasted and freshly ground beans make for significantly better coffee.

We actually do have EU-grown coffee beans, though not that much. In Spain there's one. The Canary Isles also have some.

I stand corrected, but still, I doubt this supply could sustain the demand from the full European market? I also have my doubts on whether the climates on offer in Spain/The canaries are ideal, given coffee's quite particular climate demands.
