About Wakuli

We love great coffee. Thats why were building an alternative coffee industry that actually works. For both farmers and consumers.

How By working directly with farmer groups around the world. We set up transparent traceable export lines roast the beans ourselves and sell the coffee straight to customers. So no unnecessary middlemen or resellers. Those short supply chains make sure farmers always get a good price.

Youll find us in 21 (and counting) bars across the Netherlands and online through our own platform. For customers that means freshly roasted specialty coffee thats easy to access relatively affordable and just seriously delicious.

We are building the new coffee brand of the 21st century with a team of like-minded innovators from all over the world. And were looking for you.

Youll be the person who makes Wakulis coffee experiences actually happen. That means running tasting workshops in our bars prepping the mobile bar for events hosting customers and new baristas at the roastery and making sure our barista team is trained on every new product and seasonal drink we launch. Youll also keep our roastery equipment in good shape and be the friendly voice on the other end of the line when a baristas espresso machine starts misbehaving.

Its a hands-on varied role. One day youre guiding ten guests through a cupping. The next youre loading a coffee cart for a festival recording a latte art module for the LMS or troubleshooting a batch brewer. If that mix sounds energising rather than exhausting youll fit right in.

What youll do

• Workshops: Coordinate and run coffee tasting workshops in our bars train baristas and lead baristas to deliver them and help us build toward higher-level workshop formats.
