About Brazuca Coffee
Our story
Our story started when Tiago Gawlinski, born and raised in Brasil, arrived in the Netherlands in 1990. In the years after his arrival, he started to miss the Brazilian way of life. After many years working in various hospitality businesses, the idea arose to create a place with a warm and casual Brazilian vibe, where typical drinks and bites can be enjoyed.
With this idea in mind, Tiago opened the doors of Casa Brazuca at the Rijnstraat in Amsterdam in 2008.
A few years later, Tiago started roasting his first batches of coffee on a Giesen W1 at Casa Brazuca, combining his job as a barista with coffee roasting. With the roasting process taking place in front of the customers, a new kind of interaction had sprung to life and Brazuca Coffee was born. To this day, Tiago still carefully selects Brazilian specialty coffees and roasts them with craftsmanship in Amsterdam.
Brazuca Coffee is all about the Brazilian lifestyle: taking a moment out of your day to sit back, relax and drink a cup of coffee. Head over to our Coffee and Accessories page if you want to have a look at our carefully selected coffee beans and coffee equipment.
Our vision
Brazuca’s coffee is carefully selected and imported from Brasil. We roast our fresh coffee in a traditional way in Amsterdam. Behind every coffee bean there is a story of love, dedication and awareness towards the environment and well-being of people. So sit back and enjoy our coffee, knowing that you are supporting a higher purpose.
Did you know that we offer Swiss Water Decaf? This coffee aligns with health and sustainability trends and is made with the innovative power of Swiss Water Process to gently remove caffeine from the coffee beans. Try it out for yourself!
Our mission
Since we opened our first shop, our mission is to strive for a sustainable future for our planet. We choose partners who share our vision and values. Therefore, our goal is to produce our coffee in a way that contributes to the rise of sustainability initiatives.
The Brazuca Way of Life
Brazuca stands for the Brazilian way of life. Create a laid back atmosphere with Brazilian music and enjoy the best Brazilian coffee there is. Enjoy the taste of our coffee by being in the moment, either at home, in a coffee bar or at work.
When you’re making your own Brazuca coffee, it’s useful to know what kind of coffee you’re most likely to appreciate. If you’re new to the specialty coffee scene, our Mistura Fina Seasonal Espresso Blend is the perfect choice for you. We developed this blend nearly 10 years ago, so it’s safe to say we’ve had the time to perfect it over the years. The components of this coffee also depend on the season, so your coffee is always a pleasant surprise. The Paulista Blend is also a great option and is ideal for milk based coffees such as cappuccino and latte.
Are you already a seasoned veteran of speciality coffee? Then try our Sítio Baixadão, Vinhal Uvada, DaTerra Full Bloom and the Tropical Natural. These coffees are made for you.
