Our most iconic coffee!
Hunkute has been our starting point, just as the philosophy of Joanna Alm and Drop Coffee has been. Direct trade with the utmost focus on transparency, quality, and sustainability for each coffee. Roasted to showcase each harvest with as little disturbance as possible, while adjusting the brewing methods to the coffee—rather than the other way around.

With that very coffee, we started out on a little market, trying to share the exciting world we had just discovered back in 2014. We served Hunkute as a concentrate (espresso) in small glass jars, letting it cool down a bit quicker—barely any crema due to their wide shape. As you can imagine, not a very successful setup from the back of an old van in a small, sleepy town in northern Germany. But from that very first day of serving Hunkute, it was clear: communication is the greatest challenge, yet also the strongest tool to open up a new world and seize the chance to make a change.
That’s exactly what we did—and what we’ll continue to do for years to come.

I hope you enjoy this very special coffee, one we’ve been brewing and celebrating every single season!
