The CAFEA Groupe
The CAFEA Group is a strong network of companies with tradition. It brings together businesses with different focuses but common goals: high quality, the same great flavour, and making a success out of every product.
Coffee with history
From green coffee beans for roasting at home in the frying pan in the 19th century to today’s popular product, instant coffee, the CAFEA Group has a fascinating and compelling history to look back on.

Long-term quality proven
DLG awards "Prize for Long-Term Product Quality" - Company continuously convinces in DLG quality tests
(DLG) Deutsche Extrakt Kaffee GmbH from Hamburg has now been awarded the "Prize for Longstanding Product Quality" for the ninth time by the DLG (German Agricultural Society) Food Test Centre. The company award stands for consistent striving for quality and is only awarded if food products have been regularly and successfully tested by the DLG for at least five years.
"Today, quality must be filled with convincing content, it must be comprehensible and a consistent feature of a food product. The 'Prize for Londstanding Product Quality' has precisely this claim. The award winners document their quality strategy as a clear promise of consistent quality assurance and further development, " emphasises Freya von Czettritz, CEO of DLG-Holding.
For many years, companies in the food industry have had their products tested voluntarily by DLG experts. To promote this striving for quality, the DLG awards the "Prize for Longstanding Product Quality". Companies must participate in the product-specific International Quality Tests of the DLG Test Center Food for five consecutive years and achieve at least three awards per award year. From the fith successful participation year onwards, the company is awarded the "Prize for Longstanding Product Quality". If a producer does not participate in a year or does not achieve the required number of awards, he loses his claim to the award.
