D’Olde Zwarver Koffie

More About D'Olde Zwarver Koffie

D’Olde Zwarver Koffie is a coffee roastery based in Kampen, with a publicly listed address at Industrieweg 3V. Public records link the business to Maurice Schuurman, whose name appears as the sender on behalf of D’Olde Zwarver Koffie on a professional information page. Available data indicates a small enterprise within the Dutch coffee sector, catering to private customers, the hospitality industry, and corporate clients.

Origins and Naming

The concept was born during a period when the family lived in the Dominican Republic. There, they came into contact with coffee sourced directly from farmers, and a local small-scale roaster played a role in quality sorting. After returning to the Netherlands in 2018, the first Garanti coffee roaster was purchased in 2019.

The name D’Olde Zwarver was chosen in 2020, referring to the Kampen stellingmolen (gallery mill) of the same name. According to available business information, the name creates a link between the roastery’s roots in Kampen and the origin of coffee from Latin America. This gives the roastery a local identity while its offerings rely on international coffee-growing regions.

Roast profile and methodology

The roastery mentions the use of specialty coffee beans and works with light to medium roast profiles. In the product information, Brazil Yellow Bourbon and Tanzania Arabica AA are described as medium roasts. The current roaster model, batch capacity, software used, and production volumes are not publicly documented.

The webshop lists a fixed roasting schedule. Coffee is roasted weekly, with Monday and Thursday as the designated roasting days. Orders for those days have a stated cutoff time of 09:00. The roastery states that no additional stock of roasted coffee is kept. While this approach speaks to their planning and inventory management, it does not provide a full picture of their scale or output.

Assortment and Product Forms

The online offering includes coffee, subscriptions, brewing equipment, maintenance products, gift sets, and workshops. The coffee category shows 23 results, though this number includes more than just loose coffee beans. Core coffees mentioned include Brazil Yellow Bourbon, Tanzania Arabica AA, Colombia Supremo, Guatemala Huehuetenango, Dominican Republic Barahona Especial, Ethiopië Yirgacheffe, and Decaf Colombia Excelso processed via the water method.

Product pages show packaging sizes of 250 grams and 750 grams, with options for whole beans, filter grind, and espresso grind. Subscriptions are documented for several coffees, including Brazil Yellow Bourbon, Colombia Supremo, Tanzania Arabica AA, Guatemala Huehuetenango, Dominican Republic, and Ethiopië Yirgacheffe. A documented tasting pack consists of four 250-gram bags featuring Brazil Yellow Bourbon, Dominican Republic Barahona Especial, Colombia Supremo, and Guatemala Huehuetenango.

Coffee Origin

Available product information provides various origin details per coffee. Brazil Yellow Bourbon comes from Cerrado Mineiro in Brazil and is grown at an altitude of 1,000 to 1,300 meters; the page refers to a Cerrado federation of approximately 3,500 farmers. Colombia Supremo is described as Arabica from the Andean highlands, sourced from multiple small farms. This coffee is selected based on screen size 17/18 and washed for export.

Dominican Republic Barahona Especial hails from the southern coastal province of Barahona. According to the product information, it is processed on the plantation using a patented method known as mieludo. Ethiopië Yirgacheffe is described as washed Arabica from Gedeo and Yirgacheffe, featuring 48 hours of underwater fermentation and 13 days of drying. Decaf Colombia Excelso comes from Huila, Colombia, growing at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,900 meters, and utilizes Castillo and Caturra varieties.

Sustainability and publicly documented data

For D’Olde Zwarver Koffie, no certifications such as Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, B Corp, or organic were found in the consulted public information. This does not mean such initiatives do not exist, but they are not publicly documented in the available material. The Brazil Yellow Bourbon page states that the Cerrado federation strives for socially, fairly, and sustainably grown coffee.

For the Decaf Colombia Excelso, it is noted that caffeine is removed via water decaffeination, without the use of chemical solvents. Furthermore, it is mentioned that the roastery only roasts what is necessary for orders. Public information regarding packaging policy, waste management, emission reporting, or energy consumption is not documented. Consequently, the broader sustainability profile remains limited based on the available data.

Sales, B2B market, and tasting room

Direct sales are handled through their own webshop. Additionally, a business page lists services for the hospitality sector and companies. These include company-specific coffee selection, delivery and maintenance of machines, and options for purchasing, leasing, or renting coffee machines. Outside of their own channels, listings were found at Zoetelief Kampen and on bol.com, including tasting packs and specific coffees.

According to their own information, the roastery also has a roasting and tasting room located at Industrieweg 3V in Kampen. There, the roasting process can be observed and coffee can be tasted by appointment. European Coffee Trip lists the same location as a café, with opening hours from Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00. Espresso, filter coffee, free wifi, and laptop-friendly facilities are also mentioned.

Team, Media, and Activities

Maurice Schuurman is the only publicly mentioned person in the company information. LinkedIn results identify him as the owner of D’Olde Zwarver Koffie. The LinkedIn company page describes the business as a private company in food production, based in Kampen, Overijssel, with 2 to 10 employees. Other roles, including a publicly named head roaster, are not documented.
