Coffee Roasters in the Netherlands — Complete Overview with Prices

How Many Coffee Roasters Does the Netherlands Have?

The difference? Large coffee chains roast hundreds of thousands of kilos per year for supermarkets and the hospitality sector. Specialty roasters often work with small batches of just a few dozen kilos per week, with a focus on flavour, origin, and freshness. You will find both models in this catalogue.

Prices of Specialty Coffee in the Netherlands

De prijzen in de catalogus lopen uiteen van €0.03 tot €400.00 per kilo, al liggen de meeste specialty koffiebonen tussen ongeveer €35 en €70 per kilo. Voor een gebruikelijke zak van 250 g komt dat neer op circa €8,75 tot €17,50, terwijl uitzonderlijke aanbiedingen en zeldzame micro-lots buiten deze bandbreedte kunnen vallen.

Bij een gemiddelde prijs van €45.06 per kilo en ongeveer 53 shots per kilo kost de koffie circa €0.85/shot. Zo kun je branders zowel op de prijs per kilo als op de geschatte koffiekosten per shot vergelijken.

From Micro-Roaster to Large Roastery

Dutch roasters work at very different scales. Some roast hundreds of kilos a week and supply dozens of coffee bars. Others roast small 5 to 10 kg batches and sell directly through their own webshop. Many of the most highly regarded Dutch roasters are, in fact, small businesses run by one or two people.
