Lex is the 2015 and 2016 Dutch Barista Champion and 2016 World Barista Championship finalist.
But when Lex was a kid he wanted to be either a lawyer or a pro-climber.
Today you can still find him climbing, but his focus shifted towards coffee eight years ago when he made his first real espresso at home, on a manual lever machine. The rest is history… In 2011 he founded De Espressobus. A classic Citroen HY foodtruck that he traveled around in, making coffee at festivals and events. He started roasting his own coffee, and opened a roastery and espressobar in Amsterdam called Headfirst Coffee Roasters: A magical place where great coffee was sourced, roasted and brewed.
After Headfirst was shut down, Lex and Dylan decided they had to continue the work, so now one year later, they are back with a brand new roastery.
From a small Island off the coast of Australia, Dylan has travelled some parts of the world, but washed up on the paved streets of Amsterdam and decided to stay. Dreaming of a career in music and sound production, he never realised coffee would lure him into its dark depths. His first job in the industry began in 2007 working for a coffee equipment repair company in Australia (actually). He later moved to London and found a solid footing in the coffee events industry and as a service technician. Finally, in early 2014 he landed his first cafe job, working for Headfirst Coffee Roasters, where he met Lex. After two years of reckless high jinks, some pain and of course joy, that dream came to an end. One year on, in an old garage west of here, Dylan can be found at the helm of his own coffee roastery.

We only sell coffee that tastes great, consistently and with transparency and honesty, and have fun while doing it.
Sustainability is a starting point for us, not an end goal. We buy coffees directly from the farmers or from trusted importers.
We want our packaging to be refillable, reused and recyclable.
We want our coffee to always taste great, no matter who makes it
But most of all, we want you to enjoy it as much as we do.
