Hannoversche Kaffeemanufaktur

What Hannoversche Kaffeemanufaktur does

Hannoversche Kaffeemanufaktur is a family-owned specialty coffee roastery founded in March 2012 by Andreas Berndt together with his wife and two of their three sons, headquartered and operating from Burgdorf-Heessel near Hannover, Germany. The company roasts coffee using the traditional Vienna drum-roasting process (Wiener Röstverfahren), a long-duration method at maximum 190°C bean temperature for approximately 20 minutes, with each batch individually overseen by a roast master who decides roasting progression based on aroma, colour, and bean surface characteristics. All coffees are roasted separately as single-origin batches (Sortenreine Röstung), with green coffee sourced directly from producers without intermediaries. The portfolio spans over 30 specialty coffees including filter coffees, espressos, organic/Fairtrade certified blends, decaffeinated options, cold brew, drip bags, and proprietary Schloss Marienburg collaborations, plus accessories (Hannah Filtersystem, French Press, branded drinkware), tea, cocoa, and experiential services (barista courses, Latte Art courses, Genussreise tasting journeys, private events for up to 50 persons).

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market. Direct-to-consumer sales run through the proprietary e-commerce storefront at hannoversche-kaffeemanufaktur.de with home delivery across Germany and the EU-27, complemented by two physical retail locations (Hannover city centre opened 2013 and Burgdorf-Heessel opened 2015). A subscription product (Kaffee-Abo) provides recurring deliveries with a 10% subscriber discount and free shipping above €50. B2B and gastronomy customers are served through a dedicated sales motion with a named account manager (Vivian Wiersig), offering bundled coffee, machine, and maintenance packages. Marketing is conducted through a content/SEO blog (Kaffee-Wissen), email newsletter with voucher incentive, Google AdWords and Facebook Pixel paid campaigns, social media channels, and in-person experiential events. The business holds Bio-Kontrollstelle certification (DE-ÖKO-039) for organic products and Fairtrade certification. The company is privately held under a GmbH & Co. KG structure with Kaffeemanufaktur Berndt GmbH as the personally liable general partner, and operates a documented presence in Germany, the EU-27, and China. No external funding, public listing, or revenue figures are disclosed.
