Manhattan Coffee Roasters is deeply rooted in the belief that coffee should be an extraordinary experience. Based in the dynamic harbor city of Rotterdam, it is steered by seasoned coffee professionals Ben Morrow and Esther Maasdam. We're particularly inspired by their focus on mind-blowing, exceptional coffees and their commitment to close cooperation with producers. Their expertise honed over 30 years and numerous competitions, aligns with our vision of excellence in coffee. Manhattan Coffee Roasters' emphasis on sweetness and provenance, and their enthusiasm for collaborating with equally passionate producers and traders, mirrors our excitement for the future of coffee and its community. Additionally, their homage to local history and international aspirations, drawing inspiration from Rotterdam's connection to New York through the Holland America line, reflects the journey from local to global in the coffee industry. Joining them on this adventure feels like a natural and exhilarating step for xBloom.
