Local Roots Dating Back To 1753

A long and rich coffee & tea tradition which can be traced back more than 270 years.

In 1753 in Joure, the Netherlands, Egbert Douwes founded his first coffee outlet. Over a century later in 1895, in Bremen, Germany, Johann Jacobs opened his first grocery business. Then, in 1966 in Berkeley, California, U.S., Alfred Peet opened his first Peet's coffee store. Today we are the world’s largest pure-play coffee company by revenue active in more than 100 markets around the world.
