Van Nelle was bought by Sara Lee/Douwe Egberts in 1989. The brand is apparently still sold in the Netherlands, but they may have brought all the Van Nelle products abroad under the Douwe Egberts brand. Anyway, sometimes I drive by the DE roastery in Brussels (it's right next to an expressway) and I can literally taste chemicals in my mouth. I don't know what they do to that coffee, but it ain't good.
This week I am eagerly anticipating the first god shots from my La Spaziale machine....
