Enjoy your cup of coffee responsibly
The Netherlands is a real coffee country, we drink an average of 3 cups of coffee per day. A large number for a small country. Unfortunately, not all coffee farmers receive a fair price for their coffee beans. So there is still much to improve in the world of coffee. Fortunately, you can already enjoy fair coffee at KoffiePiraat. This is a selection of the sustainable coffee in our webshop.
illy Normal
We start our list with a brand that has become an indispensable part of the coffee world. Illy coffee is recognizable by its velvety, sweet, aromatic taste with fruity and floral, caramel and chocolate notes. Did you know that the company is also recognizable in the field of sustainability. The company is a leader in the social field and pays a lot of attention to the environment. Illy believes that quality and sustainability are inextricably linked. An excellent product must be sustainable and therefore Illy is a sustainable brand. For example, they give coffee growers a fair price, they work with environmentally friendly methods and they use reusable packaging. Illy was also the first company in the world to be awarded the 'Responsible Supply Chain Process' certificate by DNV GL in 2011.
Caféclub Selezione Rosso coffee beans
The Netherlands is not only good at drinking coffee, we are also good at producing sustainable coffee. Caféclub is the Dutch alternative to Italian A-brands. It is not without reason that the company has the largest professional coffee roastery in Europe. Caféclub only uses excellent coffee beans obtained through fair trade. All Caféclub products are UTZ Certified. This way you can be sure that the coffee farmers use fewer pesticides, but also that the workers work under good working conditions. It is not without reason that UTZ Certified has become the largest quality mark for coffee.
Mövenpick Caffe Crema Gusto Italiano Intenso Coffee Beans
Another sustainable coffee comes from the Mövenpick range. The Caffe Crema Gusto Italiano Intenso is a blend of Arabica beans from Central America and Robusta beans from Africa. The carefully selected beans have been approved by the Max Havelaar Foundation. This foundation is responsible for checking the Fairtrade quality mark in the Netherlands. The focus is on emphasizing the social and societal element of coffee cultivation. This way you can be sure that it is fair trade, farmers are even paid more than on the world market. Fairtrade coffee also focuses on the environment.
Segafredo Espresso Casa coffee beans
Looking for a responsible cup of Italian coffee? Then you will soon end up at the authentic Segafredo. The company produces more than 120,000 tons annually and has the entire production chain in-house. This gives the company a unique position, because they can critically look at the waste flows and energy consumption of the production. This is not only better for the environment but also for the wallet. Founder Massimo Zanetti has also set up the Zanetti Foundation. The foundation aims to help children in poverty and social isolation. The foundation supports local initiatives that focus on improving mental well-being. In this way, the world becomes a little better with every cup of coffee.
Kimbo Extreme coffee beans
We close our list with a strong candidate. Kimbo's intensive coffee is full of temperament and pure taste but also full of good intentions. Kimbo believes that they have a responsibility to the population and this is also reflected in the environmental goals of the company. Each Kimbo coffee bean comes exclusively from a plantation with the Rainforest Alliance certificate. This certificate focuses on the preservation of nature and biodiversity and safe conditions for people and the environment.
