According to available information, they share a background in the hospitality industry and a passion for coffee and the ocean. Surf trips introduced them to coffee from various countries.

Badeta Koffiebranders was founded in 2014 in Amsterdam. The company describes its concept as a place where coffee producers, roasters, and consumers come together. This positions Badeta’s coffee bar not as an isolated entity, but as part of a chain connected to origin, branding, and preparation. No public documentation was found in the reviewed information regarding a specific opening date for the Van Wou / Albert Cuyp location.

It is, however, documented that Badeta recorded the opening of a coffee roastery on March 28, 2018. The company’s own news archives also describe how the first bar with a roastery in De Pijp came into being after Badeta acquired a Probat roaster and a Slayer machine. These details outline the evolution from a hospitality business to a company with its own roastery.

The bar uses coffee from Badeta Koffiebranders itself. The company states that it roasts its own beans and that orders are roasted in its own roastery. The online shop lists various categories, including blend, single origin, decaf, and subscription. Examples of the coffees mentioned are Steady Eddy Original House Blend, Brazilië Samba Reserve, Colombia La Victoria, Decaf Peru, and Ethiopië Chelbesa.

The formats include Barista Skills, Become a Home Barista, and Flavor & Aroma Training.

The roastery is described as a roastery, tasting room, workshop space, and training venue.

Badeta states that it aims to contribute to a more sustainable coffee industry. The company says it builds relationships with coffee producers and buys coffee from small-scale farmers. It refers to environmentally focused agricultural practices and the proper treatment of workers. Badeta also mentions that it pays a premium when it deems it necessary for a fairer share in the supply chain.

A concrete example is the collaboration with Eduardo from the Pedra Preta coffee farm. Badeta mentions an additional payment of 99 euros per bag, intended for research into agroforestry. Other publicly mentioned producer relationships include the Peralta family in Nicaragua, the Vargas family in Brazil, and Juan Andrés Gutiérrez in El Salvador.
