From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in specialty coffee, discover the journey that defines lowbacetkc.
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.
Everything we do is guided by our core values and commitment to excellence in every aspect of our business.
We never compromise on quality. From bean selection to final cup, every step is executed with precision and care to deliver the exceptional coffee experience our customers deserve.
We believe in responsible sourcing and sustainable practices. Our partnerships with coffee farmers are built on fair trade principles and environmental stewardship.
