Dragan Bakema is an extraordinary actor. He is also a fan of our coffee. And when I see Dragan with Boot coffee, I see absolute enjoyment. Then I see a momentum of happiness through taste.

When I heard about Dragan's solo role in the theater play Taste about 3-Michelin-starred chef Jonathan Kelvin losing his taste, I wanted to go there. I experienced the final try out last week. The world premiere of Taste in the Amsterdome was Saturday, October 9. *

On Sunday, August 29, the NK blind tasting (wine) will take place in Soesterberg. The importance of this competition is great. 25 teams consisting of 4 wine lovers and sommeliers will compete for a participation in the World Championships blind tasting. Only 1 team will represent the Netherlands. The World Championship will take place on 02 October 2021 in the Palais des Papes in Avignon, France.

After the NK BOOT Koffie will be present to serve filter coffee to the contestants.

Since 2019, we have taken a different path with the Kachalu cooperative with the goal of improving the quality of the coffee and getting a better price for the coffee farmer, based on 84 points or higher. It is a bonus system where the farmer gets more money for his coffee if the quality equals 84 points. The higher the score, the more money the farmer receives. This is how we, together with the cooperative, encourage the coffee farmer to take his coffee to the next level. For two years in a row now, Rick, Barend and Dennis jump 3 meters into the air when tasting the sample. You can clearly taste that the bonus system works and that the coffee is incredibly good as a result.

In the Netherlands, an average of 18.6 billion cups of coffee are drunk each year. For many people, coffee is an integral part of everyday life. But where does this drink come from? Who discovered coffee? In this blog you can read more about the history of coffee.

Join us for the Boot Koffie Ride!
Cycling and coffee. This beautiful tradition is centuries old. Now that we are loosening up a bit from all restrictions, this seems like the perfect time to organize a fun bike ride in cooperation with Scuderia La Marzocco. Two routes both starting and ending at our roastery in front of Het Lokaal in Amersfoort. You can choose whether you go for the ''easy'' short route or the advanced long route. Both routes have a stop in Bunschoten where you (of course) get our coffee, made with a La Marzocco mini in a crazy old coffee van!

When we asked actor Dragan Bakema if he wanted to participate in a coffee cupping he enthusiastically replied "yes please". We sent him the Panamaria Espresso and inspired him to write a beautiful story on his instagram about his introduction to Boot Koffie. Happiness through taste.
