Simplo World

For August’s box we’re happy to introduce you to Simplo from Warsaw, Poland! We had a chat with Konrad their Head of Product.

What's the story behind Simplo and where does the name come from?

The name comes from the word "simple." That's what we want you to think about coffee. Because it's a simple drink, it has always been. It draws people together from all walks of life and starts conversations. It makes new friendships, strengthens existing bonds and inspires the soul.

SIMPLo began during a conversation over a coffee about how things used to be. Remembering the time when the coffee was the focus; quality and taste being everything. If you deeply care about coffee standards, consider yourself one of us. But, even if you don't count yourself as a coffee aficionado... that's fine too. We dig deep into coffee specifics so you can simply enjoy the taste. How's that possible? You don't have to play the guitar to appreciate rock'n'roll, now, do you? The same goes for speciality coffee. It should be accessible to everyone. We believe everyone should be able to enjoy SIMPLo life. And it's our job to make it happen. Constantly travelling for new flavours, always learning, developing, experimenting... we do all the hard work so that you can find pleasure in top-notch coffee, without any added worries in your cup.

Poland has got a lot of great coffee roasters. Why do you think Poland has such a great coffee scene?

I think it's because people nowadays are more concerned about the quality of coffee but also about other products that are produced locally. It did evolve naturally as demand for good coffee got higher and is still on the rise and to fulfil such demand more roasteries had to be established.

What plans do you have for the future? Is there any project you are working on right now that you are extra excited about?

We are currently working on a few collaborations with other brands. Can't reveal who they are yet but we are super excited about it!

We have three delicious coffees from you in August's box (Bootleg from Guatemala, Lola from Rwanda, and Ora from Ethiopia). What makes these coffees special to you?

With the coffee from Guatemala, it's friendship and of course, excellent coffee produced by Raul Perez. Ethiopia was the first producing country that I have travelled to in 2013 and has a special place in my heart. That'sThat's why we always have coffee from this country on our offer. No magical story with Lola from Rwanda. I simply liked the coffee a lot.
