About us

We have a pretty simple philosophy: we want to help improve the economic and environmental sustainability of the coffee industry while delivering you the finest quality coffees. And at a fair price by which the farmers and growers who toil for our drinking pleasure receive a greater portion of what we pay.

The current global coffee model is in fact unsustainable. We want to be part of the solution.

We have some clear goals:

to be rigorous in continually improving all our coffees

to use as many plant-based and sustainably certified materials as possible

to make all our coffees
fully traceable

break the stranglehold of the commodity coffee market and low pricing

to build and contribute to programmes that help farming communities thrive and survive

to maintain relationships with our farmers over a long period to build greater stability for them and us

We are not there entirely yet, but we are always working on it.

We are all part of an inter-linked chain of producers, exporters and importers, roasters and consumers. The industry faces unparalleled challenges at every step, including the existential threats from changes in the climate.

Reducing the number of links in the chain, narrowing the profits taken by too many middle-men, building more direct relationships and understanding with farms and farmers and channelling more of the value back down towards the producers by paying a higher price for a higher quality bean can make big improvements.

Investments in better facilities, higher wages and living standards and agricultural and re-forestation programmes to protect and improve the availability and quality of soils and land available to grow coffee is essential for all of us who benefit from the wonderful Arabica coffee tree.

We are not the only ones doing this.

There are many independent coffee companies and very good coffee people who have spent many years contributing towards these goals. We would like to acknowledge our partners including: This Side Up Coffees, Coffee Quest, Beanspire, Sucafina.

It’s a Community thing

This is not a Coffee Club just to make you feel better about what you are buying.

We want to create a community of like-minded people that seeks a bit more coffee knowledge, better coffee experiences, and is interested to know the story behind the bean and the contributions we are making as a group to a bit of a better, fairer world.

By sharing knowledge of quality coffee and sustainable farming, we feel we can connect more people to the farm that the coffee came from.

By joining us and subscribing to our coffees, you will not only enjoy great convenience, but you will taste brilliant coffees, learn more about the journey of the bean and the wider coffee world and perhaps some of the social and environmental issues we can address together.

It’s just the start...

We are SCA CERTIFIED

We are a proud member of the Specialty Coffee Association.

We want to learn from them and share what we know. More knowledgeable consumers raises awareness and raises expectations about all the possibilities for change and improvement in the coffee world.

Using Organic coffees

We believe in the value of reducing the use of pesticides in the production of coffees. We only source pesticide-free coffees. So, all our coffees are either Organic Certified or organically grown.

What does organically grown mean?

Not all farmers and cooperatives have the resources (money and systems) to achieve Organic Certification. It can be onerous to get to this level and it can be expensive. Some of our cooperative partners are working towards this.

But a lot of farmers don’t use pesticides to grow their coffee anyway. They are growing their coffees organically. We support this.

Wherever we can, for our hand roasted beans or our plant-based capsules, we will use organic coffees.

How Subscription works

We’re based in Amsterdam, but we ship all over Europe and the world.
