- Check with your neighbors to see if they received your order.
- Is your package not there? Contact us via klantenservice@kaldi.nl and we will help you with the next steps.
Do you have other questions regarding your order? Please contact us.
How can I log in to my account?
Because we have switched to a new website system, your account may not yet be recognized. If you log in and your email address is not recognized, please create a new account.
Please use an email address that you have access to, as you will receive a code via email. Even if your account has been created, you will receive a verification code via email when you want to log in again. This method of logging in is more secure for your data than using a username and password.
Didn't receive an email? Check your spam or junk mail folder. Can't find the email there either? Please contact us.
At this time, you cannot view previous orders in your account. We are looking into a solution. Would you like to know what you ordered last time or do you have other questions? Please feel free to contact us.
I want to use my right of withdrawal, how does it work?
Each online order is subject to a withdrawal period of 14 days to return the product without giving reasons, starting from the day of receipt of the product by or on behalf of the addressee. The product can only be returned unused and, if possible, in its original packaging. Ground coffee can unfortunately not be returned. Machines must be returned unused and in their original packaging.
Kaldi shall reimburse all payments made by the consumer, including any delivery costs charged by Kaldi for the returned product, promptly but within 14 days following the day on which the consumer notifies it of the withdrawal. Unless Kaldi offers to collect the product itself, it may wait with repayment until it has received the product. For repayment, Kaldi will use the same means of payment that the consumer has used, unless the consumer agrees to another method. The refund is free of charge to the consumer.
To return a product, please address:
Kaldi Koffie & Thee
Afd. Retouren
Jan van Krimpenweg 7k

For returning the order, the return costs are at your own expense. We advise you to return machines and expensive items insured.

Have you purchased a product from one of the Kaldi stores and are you not satisfied with it? Please contact the store where you purchased the product.

I received an incorrect or defective product.
This is, of course, very annoying! Please send a mail to info@kaldi.nl with your order number and we will find a suitable solution.
- Have you received a broken item? Please email along a picture of the label and a picture of where the product is broken.
- Did you receive the wrong product? Please email a photo of your entire order.
Once we have received your email with the corresponding photo, we will look for an appropriate solution.

About our products
I would like to receive my coffee ground; how do I do that?
Would you like to receive your coffee beans pre-ground? We would be happy to grind them for you.
On the product page, you can select your preferred grind under 'Grind'. Please make sure that you have selected the grind for all the coffee you wish to receive ground.
Have you already placed your order and realized that the grind setting is incorrect or would you like to add a grind preference? Call us or email info@kaldi.nl with your order number, the desired grind, and which coffee it applies to.
Why can I no longer buy my tea?
Kaldi has switched to a different tea supplier. We now have a more extensive range with 60 flavors.
For a number of the teas from the previous range, we have a replacement. The replacement is as close as possible, but is not 100% identical.
Read our blog for more information about our choice for the new tea supplier.
We are currently looking with our tea supplier at which flavors we will be adding. A tea is coming that corresponds to the Lady Grey and Green tea Ginger Lemon from the previous range. If other flavors are added, they will be shared here.

How are the Kaldi Decaf coffee beans decaffeinated?
Our Kaldi Decaf is processed using a mild method in which steam plays an important role.
The method is based on the so-called Lendrich process.
The steam causes the beans to swell slightly and opens the structure of the bean. This makes it easier to extract the caffeine from the bean later on, without subjecting the coffee to unnecessarily harsh treatment. After this pre-treatment, the caffeine is removed from the bean. The beans are then steamed again so that any residues from the process are removed. Subsequently, the beans are dried back to the correct moisture content and can be roasted just like other coffee beans.
The goal of this method is to remove caffeine while preserving the character of the coffee as much as possible. And the result is a full-fledged Kaldi coffee, but without the caffeine.
What is specialty coffee?
Our entire product range now consists of 100% specialty coffee. With this, the coffee and tea specialty store is explicitly choosing coffee with more attention to origin, flavor, and quality.
Specialty coffee is assessed based on quality, origin, and flavor profile. By transitioning the entire range to specialty, Kaldi aims to further deepen the quality of its offerings while keeping them accessible to a wide audience.
Why is there a different tea supplier?
At Kaldi, we are continuously improving our product range. That is why we have made a clear choice. The most important change lies not only in the tea itself, but in the way we work with it. We are now working directly with a specialized tea producer. This allows us to know exactly where our ingredients come from and how blends are composed.
What does this mean for you as a customer in concrete terms?
- With the new tea assortment, you choose:
- More choice: from 24 to over 60 flavors
- Better quality and clearer flavors
- Use of natural flavorings
- More insight into origin and ingredients
- A stronger and more consistent assortment
Would you like to know more about this decision? Read about it in our blog.
Why doesn't the most recent roast date always yield the best-tasting coffee?
During the roasting process, the intense heat causes a high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to build up inside the bean. Immediately after roasting, this gas is trapped firmly inside. If you grind these fresh-roasted beans right away and pour hot water over them, the gas escapes so forcefully that it creates an invisible barrier around the coffee grounds. The water barely has a chance to extract the true flavors; the presence of the gas makes it difficult for the water to come into even contact with the coffee.
The process by which this gas gradually leaves the bean is called degassing. It is arguably the most important hidden flavor factor, because only once the gas has largely dissipated do the aromas have the space to reveal their true character.
