Our Story

From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in specialty coffee, discover the journey that defines lowbacetkc.

The Beginning of Our Journey

lowbacetkc was born from a simple passion for exceptional coffee. What started as weekend experiments with a small home roaster in Breda has evolved into a respected coffee roastery serving discerning customers throughout the Netherlands.

Our founder's journey began during travels through coffee-growing regions, where direct relationships with farmers opened eyes to the incredible potential locked within each green bean. This experience sparked a mission to bring that same level of quality and authenticity to our local community.

Today, lowbacetkc stands as a testament to the belief that great coffee can bring people together, create meaningful moments, and support sustainable practices that benefit everyone in the supply chain.
