Hesselink Koffiebranders is a family-run coffee roastery based in Winterswijk, active since 1885. We roast our coffee in-house and set high standards for both taste and responsibility. For us, coffee is not a product—it’s a chain of people. That’s why we invest at the source through the Hesselink Koffie Foundation and work with partners who want to move forward with us. This way, quality grows alongside opportunities for farmers and their communities. In the Netherlands, we’re building transparency you can truly taste. Our blends are available with Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, and organic certifications. Each package includes a QR code, allowing you to follow your coffee’s journey from bean to cup. Our roastery runs on clean energy, and we work year by year to reduce our footprint. This ensures a consistent flavour while keeping the origin of our coffee visible and honest. Our building reflects our values: a thoroughly sustainable location with a BREEAM In-Use four-star rating. We use 100% recyclable monofilm packaging and make the most of our own solar power. For hospitality, businesses and at-home coffee lovers, we provide training, service and equipment that brings out the best in every cup. Every day, we work toward the same goal: coffee that makes you smile, with impa
