Translate the term "Specialty Coffee Roaster" into

by **coffeefreak** » Sat Apr 09, 2005 11:03 am

Specialty Coffee Roaster everybody knows what this is, but I need to have a term like this in Dutch.

Anyone who can translate this into Dutch. Well, actually not translate, because I can do that myself, but give me a good term in Dutch which is an eye catcher for this English term.

Maybe when you can translate this term into German, French, Italian, Spanish, norwegan, Swedish or whatever I might get a good idea on how to translate this into my own language.

Thanks for the help.

Jan,
Do you mean the machine, the person or the store (like "kwaliteitsslager" or "warmebroodjesbakker")?

Koffie-speciaalbranderij...?

I mean the store. Exact the way you subscribe. But Koffie-speciaalbranderij is not quite what I mean.

How do German, French, Italian, Spanish or other countries translate "Special Coffee Roaster"?

How about "ambachtelijke" koffiebrander(ij)? Isn't that like artisan, artesanal, artigiana? Or at least isn't it associated with craftmanship, good quality?

I know I'm not Dutch, but oh well, thought I'd give it a shot

P.S. Kwaliteitslager... never heard that one before, only ever heard keurslager.

I would go for just: koffiebranderij because you already have 'Melangerie' in your name so people will know that you do more than just roasting the beans...

De Melangerie
'koffiebranders sinds...'

...is also an option of course...

(BTW The Himalaya beans are great! Thanks a lot!)

De Melangerie
'koffiebranders sinds...'

Than that would be: De Melangerie, koffiebranders sinds 2005

Don't know if that says "professionals" like you want it to...

Ok... your right... maybe this is better:

De Melangerie
'Vers gebrande koffie'

of:
'exclusief gebrande koffie'

of:
'Ambachtelijk gebrande koffie'

of:
'ambachtelijke koffiebranders'

For so far thanks for thinking about this, but it still is not what I search for.

It should say that we roast coffee, but not regular coffee but specialty coffee. We intend to buy coffee from the auctions of Cup of Excellence. I am in contact with several international coffee roasters and together we will try to buy in several auctions.

So the coffee we might sell later on this year will be special. I need to have a name for this which have the same inpact as "Specialty Coffee Roaster"

Please try again to help me with this.

How about: "brander van zeer exclusieve koffiesoorten"

Or: "brander van kwaliteitskoffies"

Or: "kwaliteitskoffies, exclusief gebrand door..."

Try to search dutch websites for wine importers or other exclusive things... They might inspire you...

Jo2,

Suppose I put this on my business card, will that be the line people will see at first sight.

Good try, but I need better. That's my problem all the time and that's why I put it in this forum hoping someone will come up with "the" line.

Found another one... I'm on a roll here...

"Vers gebrande koffie uit selecte import..."

I'll be dreaming about this tonight... :roll:

Jo2,

You're comming close, but still not the eye catcher I'm looking for. Dream on tonight and hope you wake up with a good one.

What about your plans on your own business.
