Roasting Company Luijendijk arose from the search for quality and fresh coffee. During the weekly searches as a hobby coffee lover it became clear that it is difficult to get really fresh coffee. So the decision was made to start roasting coffee ourselves, it never gets any fresher than that.

Building a roaster for home use turned out to be not easy but possible. After some work there was a fully functioning 1 kilo drum coffee roaster in the living room.

We soon discovered the world behind the cup of coffee. In addition to the special flavours and the freshness of the roasted beans, another world opened up. A world where millions of farmers, professionals, traders, roasters and importers work very hard for the beautiful products we can drink here. But not everyone can make a living out of this trade. This has grown over the years so that many people in producing countries no longer see a future in the production of coffee. We believe that companies and consumers can change this. And this is exactly what Roasting Company Luijendijk is doing.
