African Coffee Roasters EPZ - Kenya
Roasting coffee where it’s grown isn’t just possible—it’s the future.
In 2015, Coop Denmark and IFU set out to change the game, launching a state-of-the-art roasting facility in Kenya. The goal? To give East African coffee producers direct access to international markets, greater control over their product, and a stronger voice in the global coffee conversation.
At African Coffee Roasters, we’re proving that roasted coffee can be commercially exported from producer countries—reshaping the supply chain and rewriting the narrative. By focusing on producer needs, unlocking market opportunities, and connecting farmers to coffee lovers worldwide, we’re building a model that’s ethical, responsible, and built to last.

Expanding Horizons:
Our First Entry into the U.S. Market
Our shared mission goes beyond exceptional coffee. We are committed to empowering the communities that make every sip possible. From partnering with women farmers to ensuring equal profit-sharing, we focus on creating meaningful change. In the traditional coffee industry, only about 10% of the $200 billion annual retail value of coffee goes back to the producing countries. Our model shifts over 50% of that value to the farmers, millers and roasters who craft these fine coffees. We believe that is a more fair value distribution.
So, if you are in the USA, go check out www.pressocoffees.com and explore their new unique and premium product line of hand-roasted coffees delivered straight from Africa to your doorstep!
From African Coffee Roasters to America:
The Adventure Continues
At African Coffee Roasters, we are thrilled to bring the essence of Africa to the American coffee scene in collaboration with Presso Coffee. Presso is more than just coffee—it’s a celebration of adventure, flavor, and the untold stories of the people behind every single coffee bean. Sourced and hand-roasted at our facilities in Kenya. By keeping the roasting process local, we ensure that every cup you enjoy has a positive impact on the farmers in Africa.
