Half of our name

The third wave of coffee.

Treating coffee not as a product to rush through, but as a craft. That is the Third Wave.

01A short history

Three waves, one direction.

Coffee people talk about three waves. Each one changed what we expect from a cup of coffee.

  1. First wave

    Coffee for everyone

    Coffee became an everyday product in every household. Convenience and availability came first.

  2. Second wave

    Coffee as an experience

    Espresso bars and coffee chains turned coffee into an experience, with new drinks and a culture of its own.

  3. Third wave

    Coffee as a craft

    The attention shifts to the bean itself: where it comes from, who grew it and how to let it taste its best.

THIRD. chooses the third: attention to origin, producer, roasting and brewing.

02How we work

From farmer to barista.

  1. 01

    Origin

    We trace our beans back to their origin.

  2. 02

    Producer

    Direct-trade beans from farms we trust. We honour the farmers and the soil.

  3. 03

    Roasting

    Specialty coffee roasted in-house, with respect for the careful roasting process.

  4. 04

    Brewing

    Our baristas weigh every dose and time every shot.

03Roasted in-house

The bean in our own hands.

By roasting ourselves, we keep the whole journey in our own hands: from choosing the bean to the cup on the bar.

It lets us do justice to every bean, and honour the work the farmers did long before it reached us.

04Brewing

Weighed and timed.

Our baristas weigh every dose and time every shot. Every espresso is a new chance to reach perfection, and every filter coffee a chance to let the bean tell its story slowly.

Taste

Every cup is a tribute to that journey.

Taste the journey. At the bar.
