Quaffee was borne from a two decade long quest, which was a pursuit for fine quality coffee. This quest has taken form, in our model, to produce a high standard of coffee. From sourcing fine coffees – to – ensuring they are roasted fresh to order, so they can be brewed fresh from bean to cup.
Our belief that there were others that were on similar quests, is what drove us to start Quaffee, and this vision has remained our core philosophy since 2006.
The symbol of a frog symbolises this quest, and serves as a constant reminder to us, ensuring we remain clear in what we stand for. (you can read more about why the frog? – here…)

What is Quaffee?
Quaffee is a collection of coffee loving individuals. On discovering fine fantastic tasting coffee, these quaffers (a person who quaffs what they love only) decided the best way to share their excitement at discovering this fine coffee secret was through a company that dedicated itself to like minded business or domestic based coffee drinkers.
Like many items in life the best things are a carefully kept secret, left for only the experimental few to discover.
All industries have their secrets. Wine makers dabble over the finest terroir to make their single origin wines. The most revered is pure Cabernét. Whiskey makers know single malt whiskey is the most prized and enjoyed. Only the grand-cru area of Champagne produces the world’s finest bubbly.
We quaffers believe we have found some special coffees. And we love to share them, doing so with limited effect to your pocket.
