About Us
At Waltaero Koffie Co, we believe a great cup of coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a moment of upliftment. Our story is woven from a deep-rooted love for exceptional coffee and a commitment to a better future.
The name "Waltaero" comes from a mix of personal history and our vision.
"Walt" is from our family name, "Van der Walt," a nod to the people and heritage behind every bag.
"Aero" represents our unique air roasting process, a clean and modern method that gives you a vibrant, flavourful coffee with a much lighter footprint on the planet. For us, "Aero" is about the air we breathe and our promise to help keep it clean for generations to come.
And "Koffie"?
It’s the Afrikaans word for coffee, a beautiful nod to the rich history and diverse origins of coffee itself. Afrikaans, a language born in Africa, has a beautiful story of its own, blending cultures and histories, much like the perfect coffee blend.
Finally, "Co." stands for "company" but, for us, it means "the one who eats bread with you." It’s a classic word that reminds us that we're all in this together—from the farmers who grow our beans to you, our customer. We are a community, sharing in the joy of a good cup of coffee.
