Koffiebranderij Dieren

More About Koffiebranderij Dieren

Koffiebranderij Dieren is connected to De Koffie Thuis Winkel in Dieren. The shop began in 2004 as a small specialty coffee shop founded by Folkert Terpstra. The core idea was to enable consumers to brew coffee at home with the right beans, tea, machines, and accessories. The business later grew into both a physical store and a webshop.

According to company information, their own roastery started in 2019. That year, local press reported that house-roasted coffee had been introduced shortly before. Roasting reportedly takes place during fixed, limited hours on the Wilhelminaweg, following consultations with neighbors and the municipality. This gave the shop a production role alongside sales and advice.

The Roasting Process

The roastery selects its own green coffee beans and determines the roast profiles in-house. The documented roaster is a Kuban Supreme 12, a machine mentioned on several product pages. The company describes its approach as small-scale and bases its roasting process in Dieren.

Roast data has been recorded for several coffees. DE LEEUW is described as a Slow Roast of approximately 18 minutes, with first crack at 221°C and a final temperature of 232°C. The profile is designated as medium-dark. DE ALPACA has a roast time of approximately 17.50 minutes, first crack at 222°C, and a final temperature of 236°C. For DE SPECHT, a roast time of 19 minutes is documented.

Assortment and Origin

The brand page of Koffiebranderij Dieren lists 31 products. Documented bean names include DE LEEUW, DE BUFFEL, DE ALPACA, DE EEKHOORN, DE VOS, DE MERINO, DE KAT, DE PAUW, and DE SPECHT. The assortment consists of whole beans and ground variants. Documented packaging sizes include 250 grams and 1000 grams. For DE SPECHT, a 10-kilogram box is also mentioned.

Some of the coffees are described as single origin. DE LEEUW comes from Guatemala Cobán and is documented as 100% Arabica, SHB grade, grown at 1,300 to 2,100 meters above sea level. DE BUFFEL comes from Peru, from the regions of Junín, Cusco, San Martín, and Cajamarca, grown at 1,000 to 1,800 meters. DE EEKHOORN is listed as Honduras SHG Grade 1 from Comayagua, Copan, and Santa Barbara, with COHONDUCAFE as the producer.

Other origins in the range include Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Uganda. DE SPECHT differs from the single origins and is recorded as an Arabica-Robusta blend. The composition consists of 70% Uganda Robusta, 15% Brazil Cerrado Arabica, and 15% Peru Arabica. Thus, the offering includes both origin-specific coffees and a blend for higher volume consumption.

Sustainability and Supply Chain Information

Their own coffees are described as Rainforest Alliance certified. A professional listing also mentions Rainforest Alliance certification for the coffee beans. Additionally, organic data is provided for their own tea brand, Omnibus, including BIO-code NL-BIO-01. Omnibus is linked to Koffiebranderij Dieren and dekoffiethuiswinkel.nl.

The available information provides countries of origin, regions, and in some cases, the producers. Direct farm contracts, FOB prices, or annual transparency reports are not publicly documented. Furthermore, no public data was found regarding waste policies, CO–2 accounting, energy consumption, or packaging recycling goals. Product pages do mention airtight packaging with an aroma valve and a recommended shelf life of four to six weeks after opening.

Retail, distribution, and services

Products are sold via the webshop dekoffiethuiswinkel.nl and through the physical store at Wilhelminaweg 96, 6951 BS Dieren. The store page mentions picking up webshop orders and payment via debit card or cash. In addition to coffee beans, the site navigation includes ESE pads, coffee machines, repairs, cleaning products, tools, Monin products, and organic tea.

Furthermore, demonstrations of coffee machines and brewing methods are documented. The physical store also offers advice on coffee machines and demonstrations of models currently in stock.
