Coffee at home is now a treat too, with the opening of Ireland’s first J.J. Darboven coffee emporium
Coffee lovers are in for a treat with the opening of Ireland’s first J.J. Darboven luxury coffee emporium. The new retail outlet, now open on George’s St. Lower, Dun Laoghaire, stocks an extensive range of premium coffee from the best known coffee brands worldwide. Brands in stock include Eilles Gourmet Coffee, Alberto Espresso, Movenpick of Switzerland, Alfredo Espressoo and IDEE Coffee; the famous stomach friendly coffee.
As well as the world’s finest coffees, J.J Darboven’s Dun Laoghaire also stocks umpteen flavours of luxury tea from the Eilles and Windsor Castle tea ranges, the renowned Xocao Hot Chocolate and all the coffee & tea making accessories one could ever need – from electric coffee machines to delph and everything in between, making it a true haven for coffee and tea lovers.
“This shop opening is a direct result of customer demand,” said J.J. Darboven Ireland’s managing director Eamonn Mongey, who began his coffee business supplying the hospitality trade in the late 1980s. “J.J. Darboven coffees are renowned across the globe but were little known in Ireland until the 1990s. With Irish people travelling more and returning from having lived abroad, demand increased for these luxury brands – especially in the likes of Michelin starred restaurants and other top catering establishments.” he added.
“In the last few years demand and interest from consumers in these brands led me to the conclusion that Ireland was ready to stop buying acidic low quality coffees and turn to the world renowned J.J. Darboven blends, enjoyed for decades on the continent.” added Mr. Mongey. “We are the sole distributors and retailers of the J.J. Darboven brands on the island of Ireland. One of our most exciting products is the famous IDEE coffee – developed over 80 years ago, it is still the only patented ‘stomach-friendly’ coffee, thanks to its unique roasting process. Our Petra soft-pod coffee machines are also proving a real hit with the Irish coffee connoisseur and we stock 8 different brands of soft-pod coffee, including IDEE pods.” he said.
The J.J. Darboven shop, just beside Argos in Dun Laoghaire, is open Monday to Fridays 10.00am to 5.30pm and on Saturdays from 10.00am until 6.00pm. Stock includes ground coffee, coffee beans, instant coffee, teas and hot chocolate, along with a huge selection of coffee and tea making accessories.
