The Coffee Roastery Carib-Bean

Welcome to Carib-Bean, where the cup holds the story, the coffee is the journey, and every sip takes you somewhere new. This isn’t just coffee—it’s passion, precision, and a whole lot of caffeine-fueled ambition. And behind it all? Nick, a guy who went from vacationing in Curaçao to running one of the island’s hottest coffee roasteries.

From Vacation to Coffee Sensation

Nick’s coffee journey wasn’t exactly planned. One minute he was kicking back on vacation in 2020, and the next, he was knee-deep in the world of coffee roasting. Back in the Netherlands, he trained with top coffee companies, mastering the craft. Fast forward to today, and he’s roasting up a storm in Curaçao, turning locals into coffee connoisseurs one cup at a time.

The Heart of the Roastery: A German Powerhouse

Let’s talk about the star of the show—the roasting machine. Imported all the way from Germany, this high-performance beauty is worth every penny. Because when you’re serious about roasting, you get the Ferrari of roasters.

Running a coffee roastery in Curaçao isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Nick had to figure it all out himself—from sourcing the best beans to setting up complex equipment with zero local experts for backup. Every step, from electrical setups to maintenance, was a trial-and-error adventure (with a LOT of coffee breaks in between). And don’t even get started on the cost of importing every tiny part.

But hey, who ever built an empire without a little struggle?

Flavors That Tell a Story

Nick isn’t just roasting beans; he’s creating a story in every cup. He knows that coffee is deeply personal—often tied to memories with family and friends. His blends strike the perfect balance, mixing rich chocolate and caramel notes, satisfying both traditionalists and adventurous sippers alike.

His personal favorites? The bold, complex flavors of Ethiopian, Kenyan, and Rwandan beans. But he also keeps staples from Brazil and Colombia, ensuring there’s a perfect cup for every palate.

Why Not a Coffee Shop? The Bigger Dream

Instead of simply opening a cozy little café, Nick had a bigger vision—to create an experience. A place where people could see the roasting magic happen, appreciate the craft, and truly understand what goes into every single bean. That’s how Carib-Bean was born—a concept that brings the behind-the-scenes action straight to the people.

If his coffee had a personality, it would be a rugged man with a heart of gold—bold, strong, unapologetic, yet smooth and intriguing. And if it were a celebrity? Johnny Depp. Mysterious, effortlessly cool, and layered with depth. One sip, and you’re hooked…

The Espresso Standard: No Fluff, Just Flavor

Nick’s go-to? A straight-up espresso. No fluff, no distractions—just pure, concentrated coffee excellence. Whether you like your coffee black and bold or smooth and sweet, Carib-Bean is the place to get your fix.

Nick has been roasting his way to success, one batch at a time. If you’re in Curaçao and need a serious caffeine hit, do yourself a favor—get to Carib-Bean.

Your taste buds will thank you.
