More information about Avontuur Espresso
Our organic AVONTUUR coffee imported directly from Nicaragua is a holistically sustainable product that benefits the environment thanks to the clean transport chain by sea and on land, and the producers in Nicaragua thanks to the ecologically sound cultivation.
The taste of this high-quality Arabica coffee is also impressive with its strong and full-bodied flavor with a fine chocolate note.
Grown in small plots under shady trees in the Nicaraguan highlands, the ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked for the best coffee quality and dried into high-quality beans. These beans are then gently hand-roasted into green coffee and espresso beans in the traditional Bremen roasting plant Lloyd Caffee, which preserves the variety of aromas.
The organic beans, transported solely by wind power on our cargo ship AVONTUUR, were sailed from Central America to Hamburg without any harmful emissions. Unloaded by hand from the AVONTUUR in Hamburg, transported to interim storage on cargo bikes and transported to the Lloyd Caffee roasting plant in Bremen by electric van, our AVONTUUR coffee is one of the most environmentally friendly specialty coffees in Germany.
Our organic beans come from a self-governing small farmers' association from the COSATIN/TIERRA NUEVA cooperative in Boaca, Nicaragua. The controlled organic cultivation preserves the fertility of the soil and the health of the farmers.
Our AVONTUUR coffee was purchased directly from the cooperative from the Central American Coffee Import and Export Network (MITKA) at a stable minimum price plus a structural and organic premium and imported by cargo ship. The small farmers' association can be maintained through this principle of solidarity agriculture, which can improve living conditions in Boaco in the long term. The price we pay for the high-quality organic beans is higher than both the world market price and even the fair trade price for coffee.
The organic certification of our company has not yet been completed, which means that our sailed AVONTUUR coffee does not yet carry an organic label, even though it is 100% organically grown and eco-fair.

Our story: During his more than 20 years of work experience in the shipping industry, Cornelius Bockermann was able to see for himself how we humans adversely affect our environment. With his company he carried out heavy transports for the oil industry. It was a lucrative business that earned him a lot of money, but it also made him aware of the impact that global transport shipping has on the oceans. More than 90 percent of global trade is handled by container ships, which are almost exclusively powered by heavy fuel oil. This fuel has long been banned on land and must be disposed of as hazardous waste. This makes the ocean giants quasi floating waste incinerators, for which there are only a few pollutant guidelines and which are subject to hardly any environmental obligations. It became clear to him that something had to change. He asked himself: How can companies and consumers be...
