Frequently asked questions about specialty coffee

Why choose Koffie Kenner?

Specialty coffee is coffee of exceptional quality, scoring at least 80 out of 100 points in professional taste tests (cuppings). This means the coffee contains no defects and excels in complexity, purity, body, and aroma. It's coffee where the entire chain, from farmer to roaster to barista, collaborates with care and craftsmanship.

What is the difference between specialty coffee and regular coffee?

The biggest difference lies in quality, provenance, and transparency. With specialty coffee, you know exactly where your bean comes from, how it was processed, and who roasted it. Regular supermarket coffee is often mass-produced and of lower quality, where provenance and flavor are less important. Specialty coffee beans are usually fresher, more honest, and much richer in flavor.

How fresh is the coffee I receive?

Specialty coffee costs a little more because every step in the supply chain is handled with more care, from sustainable cultivation to a fair price for the farmer. The beans are hand-selected, meticulously roasted, and often traded directly without intermediaries. So you're not paying for bulk, but for craftsmanship, quality, and an ethically responsible coffee chain.

Is specialty coffee always organic or fairly traded?

Specialty coffee is not automatically organic, but often comes from sustainable and transparent chains. The focus is on fair prices, direct trade and long-term partnerships with farmers, which contributes to better conditions and better coffee.
