Svens Coffee Corner

More About Svens Coffee Corner

Svens Coffee Corner is linked to Peer Creative V.O.F. in the available company information. The partnership under firm is listed with KVK number 82342520. The entrepreneurs behind this business are listed as Sven Bomgaars and Andy van Aggelen. The general terms and conditions list Klutenweg 6c in Bant as the business address. In the footer of the webshop, Dokter van Deenweg 108 in Zwolle is also listed as a contact address.

An exact founding year is not publicly documented. The earliest found official documents date back to 2022, including the privacy policy and blog content. A case study by Presteer Online mentions Svens Coffee Corner as a webshop project from 2023. This makes it clear that the business became visible online during this period, but it does not specify exactly when business activities began.

Background and Positioning

The official about page describes the origin of Svens Coffee Corner through an experience with quality coffee. It states that good coffee does not have to be bitter. The stated motivation is to make the taste of freshly roasted coffee accessible at home or at work. This formulation places the business within the market for coffee beans for home use and business users.

The available information primarily presents Svens Coffee Corner as an online store. No publicly documented information was found regarding a café, tasting room, brew bar, or a publicly accessible roastery location. Opening hours, seating, cuppings, training sessions, or a public tasting schedule are also not documented. As a result, the focus is on the online sale of coffee beans and related products.

Roasting to order

The roasting process is described as order-driven. According to the available information, coffee beans are roasted after an order is placed. The website summarizes this process in three steps: order coffee beans, have the order roasted, and receive delivery as soon as possible thereafter. The packaging, according to the documentation, features a roast date, making it clear when the coffee was roasted.

Little has been publicly documented regarding the technical aspects of the roasting process. No public data was found on the type of roaster, batch capacity, software used, or the method for roast profiles. Roles such as head roaster, green buyer, or quality manager are also not publicly documented. Consequently, the operational setup of the roastery remains out of view.

Coffee Selection

The documented assortment consists of various coffees and blends. Mentioned products include Espresso Boa Altura | Direct Trade, Premium Blend, Delicioso Blend, Strong Blend, Special Blend, and Budget Blend. For several products, bag sizes of 250 grams, 500 grams, and 1000 grams are listed. This positions the offering towards consumers or small business users who purchase coffee beans by the bag.

The composition of some blends is publicly stated. Premium Blend, Delicioso Blend, and Strong Blend are described as 100% Arabica products. Budget Blend is described as a mix of 65% Arabica and 35% Robusta. In addition to coffee beans, the webshop also lists storage products and maintenance items. Examples include CoffeeVac and TightVac storage tins, an Aeropress Coffee Set, Durgol Descaler, JoeFrex accessories, and Jura cleaning products.

Origin and Supply Chain Information

A clearly described origin product is Espresso Boa Altura | Direct Trade. According to the documentation, this coffee comes from Fazenda Araujo in Brazil. The farm is located near Manhuaçu, in the Matas de Minas region, at an altitude of approximately 1000 meters. Rafael Araújo is named as the owner. His family has owned the farm since 1976, and he is described as the third generation on the farm.

Various origin countries are mentioned for the blends. These include Guatemala, Brazil, Ethiopia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Kenya, Peru, and Vietnam. Central and South America and Africa are also cited as origin regions for components of the Special Blend. Names of importers, contract types, FOB prices, farm-gate prices, or transparency reports are not publicly documented.

Sustainability and Claims

Formal sustainability certifications are not publicly documented in the available information. No documentation was found regarding B Corp, Fairtrade, Organic/Bio, Rainforest Alliance, or SCA sustainability reporting. Policies on packaging reduction, waste, CO₂ accounting, renewable energy, or emission reduction are also not publicly documented.

The information on Boa Altura does mention the Matas de Minas Coffee Association Council. This organization is described as a regional entity that promotes quality, flavor diversity, and natural sustainability. This provides regional context around coffee cultivation, rather than a certification for Svens Coffee Corner. For CoffeeVac and TightVac products, it is stated that the tins are made from BPA-free plastic. This concerns product material and not a general sustainability policy of the company.

Sales, delivery, and reach

Sales are conducted via a proprietary WooCommerce webshop. The site lists three main categories: Fresh coffee beans, Storing coffee beans, and Maintenance. Shipping, according to the documentation, is handled via PostNL. Orders are processed and shipped on the next business day after payment. For coffee beans, delivery is often stated to occur on the second business day after ordering, with possible delivery on the third business day.

No public information was found regarding a wholesale program, cafes serving the coffee, supermarket listings, or fixed retail partners. Prices, volumes, and distribution channels outside the webshop are also not described in the available documentation. As a result, the visible distribution model remains limited to direct online sales.

Team, content, and external mentions

Sven Bomgaars and Andy van Aggelen are listed as the entrepreneurs behind Peer Creative V.O.F. Sven Bomgaars is also named as the contact person in the privacy policy. Blog posts are attributed to Sven. Other operational roles are not publicly detailed. The site also describes a form of coffee community through blog articles featuring tips, facts, and trends.

Documented blog content includes a post from October 12, 2022, about Boa Altura, and posts from 2024 on descaling and storage containers. Public workshops, cuppings, competitions, tastings, or collaborations with other Dutch specialty coffee companies are not documented. Prices for Svens Coffee Corner itself have also not been found publicly. The mention of the Ernesto Illy coffee competition in 2017 and 2019 refers to Rafael Araújo and his family, not Svens Coffee Corner.
