THE COMPANY

Mission

At Dejima, our mission is to craft high-quality coffee that caters to your unique tastes. We believe coffee should be personal, fresh, and enjoyable—exactly the way you like it. Whether you prefer a light Norwegian roast or a robust medium, we’re here to put you in control of your coffee experience.

Vision

We envision a world where everyone feels welcome to explore and enjoy coffee on their own terms. Dejima is more than just a roastery; it’s a place where craftsmanship meets personalization, ensuring every cup is as unique as the person holding it.

Tim VanDragt

Tim’s journey with coffee began in 2006 at a chocolate and coffee shop, and by 2009 he was self-teaching his way into roasting—starting with a humble popcorn popper. After spending a decade in the beer industry, where he honed his skills in flavor profiling and tasting, Tim returned to coffee in 2023 with a renewed passion. In 2024, he launched Dejima Coffee, driven by the belief that coffee is a complex, ever-changing drink that everyone knows but few truly understand.

THE PROCESS

Step #1

Four clear plastic bags of green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's, labeled with different coffee origins and descriptions, placed on a flat surface.

We start by assessing your taste preferences to understand your ideal flavor profile.

Step #2

Then we select coffee beans based on your tastes and the unique characteristics of their growing conditions.

Step #3

Finally, we roast in small batches using our proprietary profiling method, then bag and deliver your coffee for pickup.
