More About Het Maalhuis
<h3>From Kookotte to Het Maalhuis</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Het Maalhuis is a family-owned business in Huizen that roasts coffee, sells equipment, and provides training. Egbert and Maartje Siegers started the company in 2011 under the name Kookotte. According to Egbert, the business grew out of his passion for coffee roasting and espresso machines. In 2018, the shop moved from Bussum to Huizen. Since September 2024, the company has used the name Het Maalhuis. This change was linked to expanded activities and the arrival of their son, Pepijn. Het Maalhuis is a trade name of Kookotte vof, with KvK number 80444776.</p></div>
<h3>Shop, café, and opening hours</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>The location at Havenstraat 32 combines a coffee equipment shop with a café, seating, and a terrace. The published opening hours are Thursday and Friday from 09:30 to 18:00, and Saturday from 09:30 to 16:30. Tuesday and Wednesday are reserved for workshop appointments. The café serves espresso, decaffeinated coffee, and loose-leaf tea, among other items. An external café guide mentions plant-based milk and facilities for children. A separate tasting room is not publicly documented.</p></div>
<h3>Roasting and production</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Het Maalhuis states that they roast weekly in Huizen and adjust their stock to match expected demand. An older process description notes that the moisture content of green coffee is measured beforehand. A designated master roaster then sets the roast profile. According to that description, a roast cycle takes eighteen minutes. After roasting, the coffee is cooled, a stone separator removes foreign material, and the coffee is temporarily stored in silos.</p></div>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>In 2019, the company reported the purchase of an electric production roaster for use with rooftop solar panels. The brand, model, and capacity have not been disclosed. Current production volumes and software for roast profiles are not publicly described. Product pages list medium-roast options such as Ethiopia Guji Washed Sidamo and Brazil Santos Fancy Astrid.</p></div>
<h3>Assortment and Product Information</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>As of July 18, 2026, the official coffee category listed seventeen products. These include blends, single-origin coffees, decaffeinated options, and a monthly coffee. Packaging is available in 250, 500, and 1,000 grams, either as whole beans or ground in multiple settings. The monthly coffee is not part of the permanent assortment. On the research date, the June selection was listed as: Costa Rica Terrazú – Don Garron.</p></div>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Not all product information is consistent. The page for Java Blawan Estate also uses the name Java Jampit Estate and lists different altitudes. As a result, the precise origin remains unclear. The product Puur – Mexico HG Organic contains the term “Organic” but does not mention a certifier, certificate number, or supply chain details.</p></div>
<h3>Origin and Transparency</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>For some coffees, Het Maalhuis names producers or cooperatives. For the Costa Rican monthly coffee, Coope Tarrazú R.L. is mentioned, with approximately 3,000 members according to the company page. Ethiopia Guji Washed Sidamo is linked to Ethio Gabana and three washing stations. The Brazilian coffee is said to come from South Minas and is connected to Cooxupé. For Java, Perkebunan Nusantara in East Java is named.</p></div>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Public data on importers, contract volumes, farm-gate prices, or independently verified direct-trade agreements is lacking. As a result, public information remains limited to origin names and product descriptions.</p></div>
<h3>Sustainability</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>The company describes its resealable packaging as “climate-neutral.” The calculations, the certifying body, and the chosen emission boundaries have not been published. In 2022, Het Maalhuis stated that the bags contain no aluminum and can be recycled in the Dutch PMD stream. Customers could also have their own packaging filled at that time. The company also mentioned the collection of used Jura Claris filters and the use of solar power in the shop and workshop. Recent figures regarding waste, emissions, or external certification are not publicly available.</p></div>
<h3>Sales, business clients, and training</h3>
<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-constrained"><p>Sales are conducted through the webshop and the shop in Huizen. According to the product pages, webshop orders are normally delivered on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, depending on stock availability. The company also supplies the hospitality sector and businesses. Pepijn handles weekly deliveries, according to the team page. Brasserie Huis van Eemnes named Het Maalhuis in 2026 as a local supplier or service partner for coffee and machines.</p></div>

Two basic training sessions in November 2024 and January 2025 were listed as sold out. The mention in European Coffee Trip refers to a guide note, not a competition result. Coffee prices, national roasting titles, or independently assessed product distinctions are not publicly documented.</p></div>
