The origin of coffee

Coffee - and its stimulating effect - was probably discovered in Ethiopia about 1500 years ago. The word coffee comes from the Ethiopian town of Kaffa. A goat herder is said to have seen that his goats became extremely energetic by eating coffee berries. Monks then supposedly made a stimulating drink from the berries.

From Ethiopia, coffee bushes were taken to Yemen, where coffee production was cultivated until coffee drinking became popular in Europe in the 17th century. Elsewhere in the world (Java), new coffee-growing regions emerged. Ethiopia is therefore the oldest coffee-growing region in the world. And a lot of coffee is still grown there. Ethiopia ranks fifth in the world among coffee-producing countries. Coffee is the most important export product.

Our Direct Trade Ethiopian coffee comes from Sidamo, formerly a southern province in Ethiopia. The Suke Quto Producers Association is located in the Guji zone, one of the Oromia regions in southern Ethiopia, not far from the Kenyan border. Originally, the plantation with its washing station and dry mill was about 5 hectares in size. But after a major forest fire, farm manager Tesfaye Bekele took the initiative to distribute coffee and shade tree seeds to the farmers around the plantation to replant together. His love for nature has ensured that the local community now has a steady income.

ZEEUWS COFFEE AND TEA HOUSE

FRESHLY BAKED

We roast our coffee beans twice a week, so the coffee is always fresh.

Orders are shipped daily. If you order before 4:00 PM, your coffee will be shipped the same day.

Some varieties are roasted especially for you, which may result in a slightly longer delivery time. In that case, we will always send you an email so you know that your order is being processed.

WHOLE BEANS OR GROUND?

Many people grind the beans themselves in a fully automatic machine or with a grinder next to the coffee machine.

No grinder at home? Then we will grind the beans for you. With the 250 and 500 gram packages, you can choose your grind.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have briefly summarized the essential information here.

Choose the right coffee grind

Although coffee beans stay fresh longest when left unground, we can also grind the coffee for you. Not everyone has a coffee grinder at home, after all.

We grind coffee for filter, espresso, cafetière, etc. Below is a table showing the right grind settings for different brewing methods. Choose your grind setting before adding the coffee to your shopping cart.

We only grind our beans to order in 250 g and 500 g bags. So if, for example, you want a kilo of ground coffee, order 4 x 250 g or 2 x 500 g. You can then open one bag while keeping the others sealed airtight and therefore fresh.

All coffee is packed airtight in a sealed bag with a valve. The valve lets air out of the bag but not in. If air could not escape, the bag could inflate. Fresh coffee releases gases, after all. This is a natural process.

Grind settings

Grind 2: Turkish Extra-fine ground coffee.
Grind 3: Fine espresso ECM, Quickmill, Ascaso, Rancilio, etc.
Grind 4: Espresso Gaggia, Saeco, Krups, DeLonghi, KitchenAid. Domestic espresso machines. Also for stovetop espresso makers.
Grind 5: Drip coffee Standard drip coffee maker, Jura (for the compartment for ground coffee)
Grind 6: Pour-over For filters filled by pouring water over the coffee by hand.
Grind 7:

Sustainable packaging

To help protect the environment, we reuse as much used packaging material as possible. If boxes are still sturdy enough, we use them to pack orders. Some boxes may look a little more "used" than others. If a box is no longer sturdy enough, it is shredded and used as filling material to protect items such as porcelain and earthenware.

If a box looks damaged when it arrives, please let us know as soon as possible. Ideally, please email us a photo so we can take a look with you.
    Delivery time

    For almost all items, the delivery time is 1 to 2 business days. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, all packages are dispatched. If an order is placed before 4:00 PM on one of those days, it will usually be delivered the same day.

    For coffee, sometimes (when the coffee still needs to be roasted) we need a little extra time. You will then receive a super fresh product. We opt for the highest quality, and that takes a little extra time.
    Pay

    You can easily pay with iDEAL, Mastercard or Visa Card with 3D Secure. Safe and reliable.

    You can also pay by manual bank transfer, of course. Please include your order number so that we can quickly link your payment to your order.
