A strong ambassador: Roland Trettl.
"Real appreciation begins with a good cup of coffee", our pleasant taste ambassador Roland Trettl believes. The top international chef does not, however, believe in buying coffee capsules. What Trettl appreciates the most about Kaffee Partner is the strong passion for taste, design and quality. That makes us quite proud. For more than 40 years we have maintained these values, and enrich our customer's lives every day with fresh coffee, great design and the best level of service."
