Cocodori

More About Cocodori

Cocodori is a coffee company based in Groningen. The business is linked to Richard Burema and Gerben Wiering, who are publicly documented as the founders. The company lists Groningen as its location, with Oude Ebbingestraat 66 as its primary address. Public information regarding the exact start date of Cocodori is not entirely consistent. LinkedIn lists 2020 as the founding year, while an article from July 2024 describes how Richard and Gerben entered the consumer market in 2022, marking the birth of Cocodori.

Origins and Name

According to available sources, the inspiration for Cocodori stemmed from office coffee. The founders wanted to drink better coffee during work hours. In another account, they noticed customers apologizing for the quality of their office coffee. From this observation, a business was built around coffee for corporate clients, the hospitality industry, and consumers.

The name Cocodori is interpreted as an abbreviation for “Coffee Company Done Right.” This explanation aligns with the business-oriented perspective highlighted in multiple sources. The company focuses not only on loose coffee but also on machines, accessories, and advice on coffee usage.

Roasting, Blends, and Methodology

Cocodori describes its coffee as freshly roasted. However, it is not publicly documented that the company owns its own roasting equipment. No data has been found regarding a specific roaster model, production capacity, roasting software, or a dedicated head roaster. A neighborhood newspaper article from November 2025 states that Richard and Gerben have coffee beans roasted, create their own blends, and sell Cocodori coffee to consumers and the hospitality sector.

Available information suggests a methodology where blends are regularly adjusted. Factors such as flavor profile, brewing method, roasting method, and origin play a role in these adjustments. Documented roast levels include medium roast for Single Origin: Highland Harmony from Guatemala and for Daily Drip: Filtermaling.

Coffee Selection

The documented offering consists of multiple whole beans and ground coffee. Mentioned products include Huisblend: Nine to Five, Single Origin: Highland Harmony, Single Origin: Yellow Bourbon, Daily Drip: Filtermaling, and a Coffee Tasting Pack. The product names provide insight into the company’s positioning between everyday coffee, single-origin coffee, and tasting packs.

Huisblend: Nine to Five is described by Cocodori on LinkedIn as a blend of 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta. Single Origin: Highland Harmony is documented as 100% Arabica, medium roasted, and originating from Guatemala. Single Origin: Yellow Bourbon is also 100% Arabica and comes from Brazil. Daily Drip: Filtermaling is a medium-roast filter grind featuring coffee from Guatemala, Honduras, and Brazil.

Origin and Supply Chain

Publicly documented origin countries are Guatemala, Brazil, and Honduras. For two products, a direct product-origin link is known: Highland Harmony comes from Guatemala and Yellow Bourbon from Brazil. Less information is available regarding the rest of the supply chain. Names of farms, producers, cooperatives, importers, or exporters are not publicly documented.

Cocodori and secondary sources refer to fair trade and a fair price for farmers. However, no farmgate prices, FOB prices, or transparency reports have been found. Purchase volumes, contract forms, and harvest years are also not publicly documented. As a result, public information on the procurement chain is limited to origin countries and general principles.

Sustainability and Certification

Cocodori published a page about Rainforest Alliance coffee on July 30, 2023. Product and category pages also repeatedly refer to Rainforest Alliance coffee. An article by Dossier Mastenbroek states that Cocodori aims to avoid coffee beans with a negative impact on nature and wants to give farmers a fair price. This is a secondary source and not a published audit.

No publicly quantified data was found regarding waste policy, packaging reuse, CO₂ emissions, or emission reduction targets. Additionally, there is no documented public sustainability report, B Corp status, organic certification, or Fairtrade certification. For readers, this means that the available information primarily consists of product listings and general statements.

Sales, hospitality, and locations

Cocodori sells through its own website, with separate sections for business use, hospitality, and home use. The website lists coffee, machines, accessories, tips, inspiration, and customer service. Product categories include coffee beans, ground filter coffee, coffee machines, and accessories. Documented machine names include FACILenjoy FE17, Faema President, Faema E98 UP, Jura, and Quick Mill.

A dedicated Cocodori article mentions four locations where the coffee is served or sold: Struis at Kraneweg 62, Bar Barrie at Folkingestraat 3, Bistro Boys at Folkingestraat 46, and Fietscafé Spaak at Oude Boteringestraat 66. Additionally, a collaboration with Van Jurjen is documented, in which wine and Cocodori coffee were combined as a corporate gift.

Struis and public visibility

A dedicated Cocodori-branded roastery café or tasting room is not publicly documented. However, Struis at Kraneweg 62 is linked to Cocodori. Visit Groningen lists Struis as a coffee-to-go address and notes that the coffee there comes from Cocodori. A neighborhood newspaper article mentions Peggy, Richard, and Gerben in connection with Struis and states that Richard and Gerben run Cocodori from Oude Ebbingestraat.

No public documentation was found regarding prices or competition mentions for Cocodori. Direct coverage in international coffee media such as Sprudge, Perfect Daily Grind, or Daily Coffee News was also not found in the available information. However, Cocodori has been mentioned in regional and local publications, including Dossier Mastenbroek, Visit Groningen, and Wijkkrant Schilderswijk.

Team and activities

Richard Burema is publicly linked to Cocodori as a co-founder and entrepreneur. Gerben Wiering is also documented as a co-founder and is associated with Cocodori and Struis. Cocodori’s LinkedIn page lists a company size of two to ten employees. Peggy Bouwer is mentioned as the public face of Struis, but not as a documented roastery role at Cocodori.

Public activities surrounding Cocodori include a World Coffee Day event featuring a coffee cart at the adult intensive care unit of the UMCG. Cocodori is also mentioned in connection with a three-year agreement regarding Okerblauw and the FC Groningen Business Club.
