OUR HERITAGE

LOCAL ROOTS DATING BACK TO 1753

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 active in more than 100 markets around the world.
