The UvA is getting a new supplier for the coffee machines. The procurement procedure has been completed, and the contract has been awarded to Van Zelst. From 1 January 2027, the company will supply our machines with sustainable Wonder Beans coffee. All coffee beans used in the machines will be 100% certified organic.

Wonder Beans works directly with coffee farmers and uses short, transparent supply chains. This provides insight into where the coffee originates from, what price is paid for it and what social and environmental impact is achieved. The beans are carefully selected and slowly roasted in small batches, bringing out their natural flavours and aromas. 

Wonder Beans calls this approach Greed Free: great-tasting coffee produced with care for farmers, the supply chain and the environment. 

Taste the coffees and vote for your favourite 

Previous customer satisfaction surveys showed that students and employees want better-tasting, high-quality coffee. This preference was taken into account during the procurement procedure. We will therefore choose the coffee for our machines together with you. 

You will soon be able to sample several coffees during our tasting sessions and vote for your favourite. The coffee receiving the most votes will become the new standard coffee served by the machines at our locations from 1 January. 

We will announce the dates and locations of the tasting sessions shortly. Keep an eye on the UvA’s communication channels and join us in choosing our new coffee!
