Brandgenoten is part of Don't Skip Coffee, located in Oss. We roast coffee and we train the people who brew it.
First understand what to look for, then order what fits. We roast, evaluate, and deliver, and at our cupping table, we explain why.
How I got here
In 2012, I was captivated by coffee, and that never changed. I took my first steps at Bonanza Coffee Roasters in Berlin, and have never left specialty coffee since. I worked at various cafes and roasteries, including Stooker Specialty Coffee in Amsterdam, where from 2017 onwards I became a barista trainer in addition to being a roaster.
In 2020, I entered the world of green coffee at The Coffee Quest. There, I learned everything about sourcing, quality, and why you need to know exactly where your coffee comes from. Since then, I've been training coffee roasters, which has been my passion for years.
Now I am Head-Roaster at Giraffe Coffee Roasters, and also a consultant and roasting trainer for other roasteries. I help them with their roasting, their processes, and choosing the right coffee. Always with the same goal: more quality, more insight, and more enjoyment in coffee.
Brandgenoten is where I bring all of that together: the coffee I select and roast myself, and the training courses through which I pass on what I have learned over all these years.
How we roast
Light or dark is not a judgment of quality. The longer we roast, the more you taste the roast and the less the origin. We roast most coffees light to medium. We only roast dark for those who explicitly request it.
