Origins and Background

The individual publicly associated with Jeronimo Coffee is Jerry Kaandorp. The company’s own information uses the first name Jerry as the face of the micro-roastery. A local profile from March 2024 identifies Jerry Kaandorp as the person behind the Aalsmeer-based coffee brand.

According to that profile, Kaandorp started roasting at home after searching for coffee that better suited his taste. He initially used a small machine in a shed. The Jeronimo Coffee brand later emerged after friends asked where they could buy the coffee. The brand name is linked in local reporting to a nickname that Ivona’s grandmother used for Jerry.

Roasting method and equipment

The webshop states that the coffees offered are “Slow Roasted.” A detailed technical explanation of the roast profiles is not publicly documented. There is also no public data on the software used for roast curves, green coffee storage capacity, batch size, or exact machine configuration.

The company’s own information states that the coffee is roasted to order. The business also describes direct contact with selected coffee farmers. This information is presented as a company statement. The roastery additionally mentions the use of an induction roaster and solar energy to limit energy consumption. Local reporting notes the transition from a small home roaster to a larger machine, without specifying the brand or capacity.

Coffee Selection

The current offering is divided into two main categories: Blend and Single origin. Documented blends include Blend Lychnidos, Blend Pepita, House Blend Classico, and House Blend Stilton. Single origins listed include Colombia Excelso Decaf, Indonesia Mandheling grade 1, India Monsooned Malabar, Guatemala SHB, and Ethiopia Sidamo Grade 2.

Brasil Cerrado Medium Dark, Kenya Monte Quenia, Colombia Supremo scr.18, and Brasil Cerrado Fine Cup are also documented as product names. The product page mentions roast levels such as Medium and Medium Dark. Prices have been excluded as they may change.

Origin and Supply Chain

The documented origins on the webshop include Colombia, Indonesia, India, Guatemala, Brazil, South Ethiopia, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The product information also mentions several producers or cooperatives. Examples include Sidama Farmers Cooperative Union, Kasaali Farmers, Cerrado Mineiro Coöperatie, and Farmers’ cooperative Kenya.

Blend Pepita is described as a coffee with origins from South Ethiopia and Uganda. Sidama Farmers Cooperative Union and Kasaali Farmers are listed in connection with this blend. The company’s own information links Uganda-related sourcing to Care Plus® “Malaria Free World.” This involves support for 12,000 coffee farmer families in 24 primary cooperatives around Luweero.

A local profile also mentions beans from Brazil, Costa Rica, and Colombia. However, Costa Rica did not appear in the current webshop list used for this profile. This difference shows that the assortment and origins can change over time.

Sustainability and reuse

Jeronimo Coffee mentions various practices regarding energy, packaging, and waste streams. According to company information, coffee chaff and jute sacks are sent to Fa. D. AlderdenWzn and Zn, a rose nursery in Aalsmeer, where these materials are given an agricultural application.

The company also highlights the use of coconut charcoal filters to control odors, CO2-neutral packaging, and the reuse of shipping materials. It further references shipping via DHL and DHL’s stated goal of achieving zero emissions by 2050. Certifications such as Organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, B Corp, or any SCA-related status are not publicly documented.
