🏭 Manufacturer & History

Douwe Egberts traces its origins to 1753, when Egbert Douwes and his wife Akke Thysses opened a grocery and colonial goods shop in Joure, the Netherlands. Their son, Douwe Egberts, took over the family business in 1780.

Over the centuries, the company became one of the Netherlands' best-known coffee brands. Douwe Egberts produced a variety of decorative coffee tins, including this nostalgic Friesche Coffee Tin.
