Felfel enters the coffee business
Felfel, which is active throughout Switzerland in sustainable staff catering, is expanding its business segment and entering the coffee business with the newly created "Gavetti" concept. The catering service provider relies on socially responsible coffee and also focuses on vegan consumers.
The young company Felfel is now known throughout Switzerland for its specially developed refrigerators and digitally controlled logistics: This allows companies without staff canteens to be supplied with fresh and sustainably produced food. This has resulted in a new form of modern catering for employees. Now this concept is to be extended to coffee consumption in the office.
400 farmer cooperatives in Peru
Under the newly created brand "Gavetti by Felfel" coffee is brought into Swiss offices. It is a special coffee: the coffee beans come from over 400 farmer cooperatives in Peru, Nicaragua & Honduras - 120 of which are women-only businesses. Ten francs from each bag of coffee beans delivered from the Latin American countries goes to the "Mujeres y Café" project, which supports Peruvian women farmers with training and production equipment. "Gavetti coffee farmers produce only organic coffee, and no synthetic fertilizers or chemicals are used," says Felfel-
co-founder Daniela Steiner, "and they are part of a Fairtrade association." As a result, the wages that can be paid to the Gavetti farmers are above the average level.
Swiss quality coffee machines
The Gavetti coffee is also processed on this ecological line until it foams and spreads its fragrance in the cup in the office. The roasting is done by an Italian family business, and the coffee machines are produced by a Swiss manufacturer. There is no unnecessary packaging material such as aluminum capsules. The roasted coffee goes directly into the machine, the coffee grounds are composted and turned into biogas in Switzerland. Porcelain cups are encouraged instead of paper cups, and vegan oat milk is available in addition to Swiss cow's milk.
Twenty coffee recipes
The core of the offer is the all-round service: beans, roasting and machine are provided, and daily deliveries and cleaning are made. In total, the Gavetti coffee machine offers over twenty recipes - from cappuccino to ristretto - which can be rounded off with cow's milk or oat milk. But the coffee machines can do even more: thanks to the support of innovative technology, it adapts the passage of the coffee to the weather - always with the aim of ensuring the ultimate coffee enjoyment.
The offer of Felfel in detail
"Gavetti by Felfel" offers its customers an all-round carefree package. Thanks to digital logistics, the daily filling of the coffee machine is guaranteed, as is the delivery of all components for daily coffee enjoyment, such as porcelain cups or, alternatively, biodegradable paper cups, sugar, or even cow's and oat's milk. "With Gavetti, we can offer a strong coffee experience to companies that want to be great hosts for their employees without requiring them to hire additional staff," says Felfel co-founder Emanuel Steiner.
