De Koffieboer

What De Koffieboer does

De Koffieboer b.v. is a Dutch B2B provider of fully automatic coffee machines and complementary beverage equipment, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Colijnsplaat, Zeeland, Netherlands. The company supplies, installs, and services coffee machines, water coolers, protein shaker machines, soup machines, and vending machines to over 1,000 business customers across multiple verticals including offices, healthcare, education, manufacturing, hospitality, sports/wellness organizations, and municipal government. Named customers include VT Group (maritime logistics), Bouwcenter Esselink (building materials, customer since 2010), and Gemeente Noord-Beveland (local government).

The core technology is a portfolio of award-winning fully automatic coffee machines (Barista 2.0 and Barista Pro variants) that grind fresh beans, brew, and froth milk on demand, with on-site calibration by technicians to match De Koffieboer's matched consumable range. The company holds Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, and BIO organic certifications on its product lines.

De Koffieboer operates a hybrid revenue model combining recurring monthly rentals of machines with ongoing consumables supply (coffee beans, tea, soup, milk, sugar, cups, biscuits, cleaning products) delivered via its own route-based delivery network on a four-week cycle, supplemented by PostNL for out-of-area customers and a password-protected B2B webshop. The go-to-market combines consultative field sales (with a 3-step product selector tool and free trial placements), showroom visits, and inside sales. Direct telephone support and in-house technical service, delivery, invoicing, and back-office operations are all managed internally with a lean 5-employee team.

3. Consumables (coffee, tea, soup, milk, sugar, cups, biscuits): Ongoing sales of coffee beans (fresh roast, instant, fresh brew, capsules), tea, soup, milk, sugar, cocoa, protein shakes, cups, biscuits, cleaning products, and filters. Sold via B2B webshop and route delivery. Repeat purchase revenue tied to installed machine base.
4. Technical service and maintenance: Technical support and maintenance services provided to machine owners and renters. Includes repair visits and on-site recalibration when coffee type is changed.
