Coffee Collective
Specialty Coffee

Sometimes you just know right away: these folks think like us. That’s how it was when we first came across Coffee Collective—a roastery in Copenhagen that’s been not just roasting coffee since 2007, but redefining it.

Coffee Collective was founded by Klaus Thomsen, Peter Dupont, and Casper Rasmussen. What unites them is their commitment to making coffee an honest, fair, and uncompromisingly good product. Their approach is as radical as it is consistent: direct trade with farms, absolute transparency in pricing, and long-term partnerships that provide security for all involved.

We want everyone involved in a cup of coffee—from the coffee farmers to the guests in our coffee bars—to feel that everything is fair and respectful.

Zu Besuch bei AGA
Eine dieser Farmen ist AGA in Äthiopien. Seit vielen Jahren arbeitet Coffee Collective eng mit dem Kaffeebauern Habtamu Aga und den Menschen vor Ort zusammen. Seine Bohnen zeichnen sich durch eine außergewöhnliche Klarheit und Frische aus – Aromen von roten Beeren, feiner Süße und lebendiger Säure.

The red coffee cherries on the farm and scenes of processing show how much manual labor and care goes into every single bean.

When you taste the coffee, that’s exactly what you taste: it is clear, precise, and bears the hallmarks of an attitude that we know all too well. At Joseph Brot, we also believe that quality is not something that can be found in a manual, but rather something that is evident in our daily work—in our respect for the ingredients, in our patience, and in our honesty toward the people who work with us.

Our partnership with Coffee Collective is therefore more than just a supplier relationship for us. It is an expression of a shared conviction: that food can tell stories and have an impact—both in terms of taste and in the lives of the people who produce it.

That’s why we’re proud that your coffee is now part of our everyday life. For us. And for everyone who drinks it at Joseph Brot.
