Meet Davy Joly, the man behind coffee roastery 'Grano Verde' from Loppem
Interviewer: Davy, can you tell us how your journey to coffee roasting began?
Davy Joly: Of course! Several years ago I curiously stepped into a coffee fair, where the air was filled with the aromatic scent of freshly roasted beans. That one experience set my journey to the craft of coffee roasting in motion. It was love at first sight – or better said, at the first scent.
The speciality coffee association
Interviewer: That sounds like a magical moment. How did you further develop yourself in the world of coffee?
Davy Joly:With a heart full of passion I decided to follow a barista course in the Netherlands. I obtained my SCA Professional Barista certification, which marked the beginning of a deeper dive into the world of coffee than I had ever thought. Every step, every scent, every tasting fed my love for this art. This intensive training has shaped me into a skilled barista.
Interviewer: And now you run your own coffee roastery. Can you tell us something about Grano Verde?
Davy Joly:Yes, now I proudly bring my passion to life in our roastery, Grano Verde. Every batch that I roast is an ode to the carefully selected beans, the precision of the roasting process and the art of perfecting flavors. I still roast the coffee myself weekly, which ensures ultra fresh coffee for our customers. Our coffee beans are of the highest possible quality and come from farmers who receive a fair price for their products. We bypass the large distribution networks, so that we can keep the price to the end consumer as affordable as possible. This way we ensure that 'fairtrade' is not only fair trade, but also still affordable for the end consumer.
At Grano Verde Coffee Roastery everything revolves around more than just coffee. It revolves around sharing an experience, awakening emotions and creating moments that stay with you.
Interviewer: That sounds fantastic! We hear that you also make coffee on location. Can you tell more about that?
Davy Joly: Absolutely! I regularly go on location to make coffee for events, trade shows, or simply at work as surprise for the employees. It is a great way to let people get acquainted with our coffee and offer them a unique coffee experience.
Interviewer: And you also deliver to businesses, is that correct?
Davy Joly:Yes, that is correct. We deliver to various businesses and also offer white-label options for enterprises that want to have their own brand coffee. Additionally we offer coffee machines for businesses, and for this we make customized quotes to meet their specific needs.
Interviewer: That is impressive. What drives you in your work?
Davy Joly: At Grano Verde Coffee Roastery everything revolves around more than just coffee. It revolves around sharing an experience, awakening emotions and creating moments that stay with you. Every cup of coffee that we make is a chance to make someone's day a little better. Welcome to my world of coffee roasting, where passion comes to life in every cup.
