About us

The world of coffee has changed dramatically. Better beans, smarter drinkers – unlimited choice. For many, all this change is radically new. But for us it’s just another day at the roaster – since 1822.

What was started in Amsterdam by two local roasters has since grown into one of Holland’s most premium coffee brands. Two centuries of perfecting the craft of slow roasting Arabica beans and handcrafting them into high-quality, well-balanced blends.

Hard-worked quality, attention to detail and personal service – from bean to cup. We have a family-minded approach to our business, and we bring a micro-roaster’s mentality to every batch. We have the in-house knowledge and craftsman’s instinct to select, perfect and roast the best coffee beans. For the world’s most demanding coffee connoisseurs.

As one of Europe’s first coffee roasters, we have always understood that coffee is more than the promise of heritage and ideology. More than a barista’s beard or a compelling story. Coffee is a shared experience that exists between craftsmen and coffee lovers.

As the global coffee industry continues to change, we will remain true to our 200 year-old mission to roast quality coffee.
Every bean. Every batch. Every day.
