Lambo Koffiebranderij

What Lambo Koffiebranderij does

Lambo Koffiebranderij (legal/operating name: Lambo Koffie Service Totaal) is a privately held artisanal coffee roastery headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands, founded in 1992 and acquired by current owner René Leusink in 1999. The company roasts coffee daily on a classic 1956 Probat UG15 drum roaster at 200°C for 15 minutes, sourcing green beans hand-picked in India, Kenya, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. Its product set centers on five freshly roasted signature blends — LKST Espresso, Café Brazil, Café Excellent, Slow Roasted Arabica, and Fresh Brew — sold in 200g to 1kg packs and bundled as tasting "proefpakketten," plus freeze-dried instant coffee under the Ristretto line.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront with next-day delivery and roastery pickup, plus a sales-led B2B motion targeting hospitality (horeca), corporate offices, healthcare organizations, and specialty retailers. B2B offerings include free trial machine placements, on-site installation, barista training, and machine leases from 15 months. Lambo is also a multi-brand dealer for professional coffee equipment from Nivona, Animo, Bravilor, Faema, and Saeco, and resells maintenance consumables, water filters, barista tools, and accessories. A Private Label Koffie service enables businesses to sell Lambo-roasted coffee under their own brand and packaging. Sustainability is addressed via participation in the Efico Foundation, with per-kilogram contributions for business bean purchases.

Reported headcount is 1–10 employees, the entity is privately held with no parent company or institutional investors, and revenue, ARR, or order volumes are not publicly disclosed. Geographic focus is regional, centered on the Twente/east Netherlands area, with national shipping available via the web shop.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Wakuli: Direct-to-consumer specialty coffee roaster operating on a subscription model with transparent sourcing. Comparable freshly roasted bean proposition, but competes digitally rather than through a local B2B roastery footprint.

Broad incumbents

• illycaffè: Global premium Italian espresso brand selling roasted beans, capsules, and machines through retail and foodservice. Comparable premium bean-and-machine offering to Lambo at much larger scale.
• Nespresso (Nestlé): Global single-serve coffee system selling proprietary machines and capsules, including B2B office channels that overlap with Lambo's corporate coffee machine offering. Represents the dominant adjacent incumbent in workplace and home coffee.
• Douwe Egberts (JDE Peet's): Dutch heritage coffee brand and large-scale roaster (now under JDE Peet's) supplying supermarkets, offices, and out-of-home channels. Provides the dominant incumbent benchmark for Lambo's regional B2B and retail bean competition.
• Lavazza: Global Italian coffee roaster with broad horeca and retail presence, including espresso machines and beans. Represents the broader European incumbent that Lambo's artisanal positioning is differentiated against.

Direct peers

• Peeze Koffie: Long-established Dutch specialty coffee roaster focused on sustainably sourced beans, B2B supply to offices and hospitality, and private label services. Direct comparable to Lambo's roast-and-supply proposition and customer segments.
• Simon Lévelt: Dutch artisanal coffee roastery with a long heritage, offering freshly roasted beans, coffee machines, and private label services to horeca and consumers. Closely matches Lambo's B2B + B2C roastery-plus-retail model in the Netherlands.
• Koffiebranderij De Monnik: Small-batch Dutch coffee roastery with daily fresh roasting, B2B focus and a regional footprint similar to Lambo. Comparable artisanal positioning, product mix, and direct-to-horeca go-to-market.
