Coffee Collective

Copenhagen, Denmark

Since its founding in 2007 by Klaus Thomsen, Peter Dupont, and Casper Engel Rasmussen, Coffee Collective has been at the forefront of the specialty coffee movement, championing a model that places producers at the heart of their mission. Their philosophy is straightforward yet profound: to create truly great coffee, start with the people who grow the beans.

By engaging in direct trade relationships and paying prices significantly above market levels, Coffee Collective invests not only in exceptional quality but also in the livelihoods and futures of coffee farmers. This commitment enables producers to enhance their production methods and quality of life, resulting in coffees that are as ethically sourced as they are flavorful.

Their dedication to transparency is evident in their operations, from daily roasting that highlights each coffee's unique character to the design of their coffee shops, which serve as spaces where craftsmanship, quality, and storytelling converge. Each location invites guests to experience coffee up close, emphasizing the journey from bean to cup.

In 2021, Coffee Collective expanded their commitment to quality and sustainability by opening the Collective Bakery, where they craft fresh pastries daily, aiming to match the dedication they have for coffee. This addition reflects their holistic approach to creating extraordinary coffee experiences.

Now, under the leadership of CEO Rebecca Vang, Coffee Collective continues to explore coffee's endless possibilities, striving to elevate the industry through transparency, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
