Coffee Planet Milestone
ABOUT COFFEE PLANET
Coffee Planet’s mission is simple: to bring specialty-grade 100% Arabica coffee beans to as many people as we can.
Coffee Planet embarked on its journey in 2005 when the local coffee landscape in the UAE was very different from what we see now. With the goal to bring the finest Arabica coffee from across the globe to the masses, they set out to find who was growing the best quality beans, how they were harvesting them, and how they could develop their own signature blends. They work closely with farmers from over 20 countries across the most renowned coffee-growing regions to source the best of the best.
Launching Coffee Planet on the Arabian Peninsula made perfect sense. What better place to learn than the region with a rich coffee history dating back 500 years?
The first undertaking was to improve the quality of the coffee sold on the go, serving freshly ground 100% Arabica coffee to commuters and coffee lovers daily. Once its loyal fanbase was built – within just a couple of years, the company diversified to serve new channels; including leading 5-star hotels, airlines, hypermarkets, and offices.
2008 was a real milestone for Coffee Planet - the year it opened the roastery – at its home, in Dubai. This new facility meant total control of the signature blends and single-origin coffees.
The roastery is the heart of the business, capable of producing 300 tonnes of the finest coffees & 3 million capsules per month. The roastery also meant the reach could expand across the UAE, the wider GCC region, and ultimately the international market, making freshly roasted, specialty coffee available for home baristas through retail partnerships and bringing Coffee Planet one step closer to total coffee domination.
In 2021, Coffee Planet expanded its cafe operations in the UAE with franchise partners, leading to the birth of branded cafes in the bustling neighborhoods of Dubai. Coffee Planet is now a
multi-national success story, not only through the brand but via roasting private label coffee for top companies across the globe. Besides making the products accessible to passionate coffee lovers, we are strongly committed to the coffee industry
as a whole. We source from over 20 countries across the most renowned coffee-growing regions in the world to bring the best coffee to our consumers.
In 2023, Coffee Planet will start brewing in the Philippines. Our goal? To keep growing until everyone in the world has the opportunity to experience our
specialty 100% Arabica coffee.
