According to company information, the stand is open at Willemsplein on Saturdays and Sundays from 09:30 to 16:30. Additionally, Ketelbinkie Coffee And Tea is listed at Willemsplein 26 in Rotterdam.

The company uses Ketelbinkie Koffie as a trade name for Mr. Tacq. S.L. Tacq is mentioned as the entrepreneur in the general terms and conditions. The business address is listed as Weegbreestraat 23 F, 3053 JS Rotterdam. In a 2025 interview, Steven Tacq is named as the owner, noting that he had been active in the coffee trade for 22 years at that time.

An exact public opening date for the coffee stand or coffee truck at Willemsplein is not documented. However, Ketelbinkie describes itself as a company that has been active at festivals, events, and corporate locations for over ten years. The business presents itself as a combination of a coffee company, tea supplier, barista service, workshop provider, and mobile coffee bar.

The public coffee location is situated at Willemsplein, a spot on the riverside of Rotterdam city center. Company communications refer to this stand as a weekend location. On social media, Ketelbinkie is described using the terms coffee, loose-leaf tea, barista, and workshops. This indicates that the company’s visible role extends beyond sales to passersby to include on-site coffee services.

In addition to the permanent weekend stand, Ketelbinkie operates mobile coffee facilities. The company utilizes Citro&#23P;n HY vans, Volkswagen T1 and T2 vehicles, a cargo bike, and mobile coffee bars. This setup aligns with their stated presence at festivals, corporate gatherings, and other events.

Ketelbinkie works with coffee from its own roastery. According to company information, the green beans arrive at the roastery located in the former Sunrise lemonade factory. There, batches are roasted in small quantities, with the roast profile tailored to the characteristics of the specific harvest.

The original house blend is described as 100 percent arabica, featuring coffee from Braziliç, Colombia, and India. The webshop lists various products, including 500g decaf, 500g original, 500g special Braziliç, a 1kg special blend, and 1kg original. These products point to both blends and single-origin coffee from Braziliç.

Public sources do not provide a fully current menu for the stand at Willemsplein. However, various brewing methods are mentioned in the workshop information, including Aeropress, Eva Solo, French press, and V60. These methods are documented as part of a filter coffee workshop, rather than as a confirmed permanent menu for the stand.

Alongside coffee, Ketelbinkie offers Natte Thee. Documented varieties include green, Earl Grey, and rooibos. Fresh mint and ginger are mentioned as options upon request. Specials are also listed, including matcha latte, pumpkin spice, fresh mint tea, ginger tea, and iced coffee.

A restaurant platform lists items such as stroopwafel, coffee, tea, latte, and chai latte as frequently mentioned at Ketelbinkie Coffee And Tea. While this provides a glimpse into the products associated with the location, it does not constitute a full menu.

Ketelbinkie offers a variety of workshops, with documented topics including barista skills, latte art, filter coffee, and coffee tasting. This shows the company’s commitment to sharing coffee knowledge alongside their on-site sales and service.

The company is featured at events such as Wereldhavendagen, Defqon, and Vierdaagsefeesten. A 2025 profile describes Ketelbinkie as a roastery, festival operator, Rotterdam coffee spot, and mobile barista enterprise. That same profile notes that the business operates with over 35 part-time baristas and a core team of five.

Ketelbinkie also has a presence in the corporate events market. An event partner lists the company under beverage and catering formats, including corporate parties, live cooking, sit-down dinners, private events, and Concours d’Elegance.

Ketelbinkie states that they work with direct-trade beans purchased directly from farmers, ensuring that growers are fairly compensated. An external location page mentions suppliers in Brazilié, Colombia, and India, specifically naming Felipe in Brazilié, Juan in Colombia, and Shameel in India as their green coffee suppliers.

According to this information, direct contact and long-term agreements are linked to sustainable coffee cultivation and social projects within those regions. For corporate coffee solutions, Ketelbinkie utilizes professional Jura and WMF equipment for office environments.

Ketelbinkie has been featured in several public profiles and mentions. In 2025, an interview with Steven Tacq was published. In 2018, a coffee platform featured an article about their coffee beans, Natte Thee, barista masterclasses, and mobile coffee bars.
