EILLES KAFFEE - Indulgence with character

Coffee enjoyment with character

New impetus for exclusive EILLES KAFFEE Professional line from J.J. Darboven

Hamburg, March 2025 - The Hanseatic family business J.J. Darboven is modernizing its renowned EILLES KAFFEE brand with the new Professional line. With six high-quality coffee specialties, contemporary tableware and a comprehensive range of accessories, EILLES KAFFEE Professional offers a comprehensive concept that is perfectly tailored to the needs of modern catering businesses.

Emotional and appealing: coffee specialties with character
"A coffee that has been inspiring people since 1873 must have done a few things right. From the careful selection of beans and careful long-term roasting to modern technology that supports the meticulous craftsmanship - all of this makes EILLES KAFFEE so special," explains Simone Müggenburg, Head of Marketing at J.J. Darboven. "With the new Professional line, we have further developed this brand and tailored it to the high demands of the catering trade."

The products

The EILLES KAFFEE Professional line comprises six different varieties as whole beans - with two espresso, two café crème and two filter coffee varieties (the latter also available as ground varieties). This allows the restaurateur to choose from different flavor profiles. For better classification, the intensity of the coffees is shown on a scale of 10, which makes it easier for restaurateurs to select and present them. Characteristic here are the emotional names, which are specifically based on the lifeworlds of the guests:

  • Café Crème Lieblingsbohne - A sweet café crème with a silky texture and a pleasantly spicy aftertaste with notes of cocoa
  • NEW PRODUCT: Café Crème Aromawunder - Each cup reveals a velvety creamy texture, refined with a diverse aromatic palette of nut and chocolate notes
  • Espresso Mood Maker - Classic Italian espresso profile with a beautiful balance of aromatic complexity and full-bodied richness
  • Espresso Tagesretter - Strong espresso with a velvety body, spicy-malty aroma profile and a long-lasting aftertaste
  • Filter Coffee Enthusiast - Spicy notes with a caramel finish are complemented by a medium-strong, velvety body
  • NEW PRODUCT: Filter Coffee Motivator - A strong blend of Arabica beans refined with selected Robustas

EILLES accessories

Perfect combination for coffee and tea specialties

The EILLES KAFFEE Professional line is not limited to excellent coffee specialties. For brand presentation and sales support, J.J. Darboven offers a modern range of porcelain and accessories that is specifically tailored to the needs of catering businesses. A special highlight: the elegant tableware designed exclusively for EILLES in timeless white with the striking EILLES logo. It is available for both coffee and tea specialties and can therefore be perfectly combined. The cross-range concept includes practical items such as sugar sticks, butter cookies, napkins, to-go cups and a vacuum jug.

The new EILLES KAFFEE Professional line will be available for catering establishments from March 2025. The various accessories will be introduced successively over the course of 2025.
