Ritual Coffee Roasters opened in May 2005 with the intention to share amazing coffee with San Francisco and it was only a matter of weeks, or maybe just one, before Ritual had a line out the door. Many of our customers asked what we were doing to our coffee to make it taste so good, while the connoisseurs simply wanted to know what took us so long to get here.
Since then, we've devoted ourselves to sourcing the best coffee in the world by creating unique partnerships with groups and individuals throughout Central and South America. Our focus on sourcing allows us to offer seasonally fresh coffees throughout the year.
We roast coffee daily and ship directly to wholesale customers, our own coffee shops, subscribers and webshop customers. And yet, freshly roasted coffee is just a small part of the equation.
We source coffee directly from the farmer for two main reasons. To guarantee we get the best green beans, and to make sure the farmer is rewarded for the high quality coffee. It is actually quite simple. For the farmer to continue to produce specialty coffee, he or she should be paid extra for the hard work.
In our opinion, enduring quality in coffee starts with financial stability for the farmers. To make a difference, we believe that we have to start with ourselves by making coffee experiences that contributes to this development.
Founded in 2007, Coffee Collective is to this day 100% owned and run by Peter N. Dupont, Casper Engel Rasmussen and Klaus Thomsen. With several competition awards in the bag, including gold in both the World Barista Championship and World Cup Tasting championships, we continue to explore exciting coffee experiences.
Established in 2016, Kaffe Bueno is the first company to ever fully breakdown and valorise spent coffee grounds into active and functional ingredients for personal care, advanced materials, animal and human nutrition.
Through cutting-edge technology and patented applications of the unique coffee molecules, Kaffe Bueno is the pioneer and leader of the coffee upcycling movement.
Our mission is to unlock coffee's health potential where harmful emissions are minimised and coffee’s by-product usability is maximised.
By extending coffee's economical life, we will be able to give back to the people we owe its existence; farmers.
Our vision is to transform the way people perceive coffee; from looking at it as a tool to make it until the end of the day, to look at it as a magical bean with the potential of improving human health by using what lies inside it.
