Capabilities

We’re obsessed with coffee on every level: from the production and distribution of customised coffees to award-winning coffee machines and essential supporting services for the retail and out of-home market. And while we have global scale, our many local experts make sure every customer gets just the right products and services for their clients.

We’re down-to-earth, straightforward people – albeit ones who live and breathe all things coffee. We talk informally and genuinely because, ultimately, we want to do one simple thing: to enhance people’s enjoyment of the best possible coffee wherever they are.

Group
Buying

Our dedicated and experienced team ensure we secure the best possible coffee grades at the best prices from our office in Geneva, the heart of the coffee trading world.
No matter where you are in the world, odds are that that the coffee you drink has been traded in Geneva. At least half of all coffee bags traded internationally pass through Swiss-based companies. UCC Europe’s procurement of green coffee beans is conducted at our Group Buying Office in Geneva, where our dedicated, experienced and passionate team secure the best possible coffee grades at the best prices for our customers. We are continuously cupping our coffees against our key criteria - quality, flavour, aroma, body, acidity, sweetness - and exploring exciting new options and opportunities for our customers through fresh crop samples. Selection of our coffee is based on ‘cupping table performance’ not opportunistic purchase.
