Indonesia Sumatra Organic: A powerful Indonesian women's coffee with a wonderful story. Now as "Coffee of the Month": this means that our baristas serve this coffee all month in the store and you will get a 10% discount to taste the coffee at home.

Boot Koffie first opened its store door in November 1973. Now it's the first Saturday in November 2023, Boot Koffie really is 50 years old.

Even Marianne Boot, the archetypal mother of Boot Koffie, is there with her 94 years!

I am also responsible for the annual SKAL audit and its certification. Thanks to SKAL certification, Boot Koffie can continue to sell the various delicious organically grown coffees.

This bold, delicious, buttery smooth coffee with lots of smoky notes, surprised my taste buds. I grabbed my double espresso with two hands and retreated into my own (coffee) bubble for a moment.
