That’s why we’re building an alternative coffee industry that actually works. For both farmers and consumers.\nHow? By working directly with farmer groups around the world.

Those short supply chains make sure farmers always get a good price.\nYou’ll find us in 23 (and counting) bars across the Netherlands, and online through our own platform. For customers, that means freshly roasted specialty coffee that’s easy to access, relatively affordable and just seriously delicious.\nWe are building the new coffee brand of the 21st century with a team of like-minded innovators from all over the world.
