About the Organization

We transformed coffee into a business model. Well versed in the coffee market and an entrepreneur by nature, our founder decided to create his own brand of coffee in 1961. In the Alentejo town of Campo Maior, in a small warehouse with 50 square metres of space and without many resources, activity started with just two small roasters with a capacity of 30 kg. The relationship with our clients is just the same as the relationship between the man at the counter, and his regular customer, who have come to trust each other and to share life in the flavour and aroma of a cup of coffee.

On-site Supervision and Support

Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance.
