Peest has recently become the coffee capital of Drenthe. They started their own coffee roaster on the COSIS care farm. After a thorough preparation, the process now gets steam. With a first order that landed well.
Coffee is indispensable in our eating and drinking pattern. But starting such a burnerij, you don’t ‘just’ add it. Just check: at cose they thought a year and a half ago starting a burner. “Yes, we have been patient,” agrees supervisor Erwin Veenstra. “But we are now loose.”
And how. Veenstra went to Deventer to get the hang of the intricacies of the coffee burns. “And someone from the Czech Republic came to give us a two -day course.”
The beans, mostly from Africa, enter Peest unprocessed. On the care farm they are keen for mild to strong coffee. The clients of cose pack the ‘liquid gold’ and then stick the whole. The delivery service then delivers the order to the customer.
The residents of the care farm plunge en masse on the project. Veenstra: “The clients love it. They are enthusiastic and feel important. For me, they are goosebumps.”
Cose is busy finding enough customers for the beans. One of the lucky ones are customers of the food banks in Hoogeveen and Assen. They find from today Made in Peest-Foffie on the shelves.
