About Us

We have been part of the coffee industry for generations since the 1880s, selling coffee to various companies. Unfortunately, due to the current coffee prices established by large corporations, our farm has been barely sustaining enough to pay our hardworking farmers. Large corporations often buy coffee as a commodity, making millions in profits and not giving back to those who do the hard work, often in rough environments. We fear laying off employees who have been working for us for years or even for their entire lives just because the market does not do farmers justice. We made a Kickstarter to kickstart our business and to make living conditions better for those working directly with our coffee beans. All funds will go directly to employees as well as covering the costs of starting a new business. Please read our history to get a sense of why it is important to buy directly from farmers and to cut out the middleman.

In 2016, we opened our own family business, Kafetos (based in Florida), in order to sell our premium coffee directly to consumers in the US while trying to improve the quality of life of our employees. We sell our coffee directly to you, straight from our farm located in the highlands of Guatemala — cutting out the middleman and passing the savings on to you.

For our Specialty Coffee, we grow it, we process it, we export it green, and roast it — all within the family. We take great care to ensure every order is roasted fresh and shipped promptly, preserving the highest quality and freshness from our farm to your door. This is coffee with history, with pride, and with high standards of quality. From the way we pick the red cherries, our unique way of washing and drying, to the way we store it — everything is done with care and with value. Our Specialty Premium Coffee is available directly through our family site www.Kafetos.com.

In the 1880s our story and passion began when our great grandfathers purchased hundreds of acres of farmland on the border of Guatemala and Honduras in order to promote the growing of rich coffee in the highlands. They named the land Bethel, which means "The House of God" or "Gate of Heaven." Our land grows one of the best coffees in the world, and everything that has been planted there grows to be the richest and the best.

What makes this coffee of the highest quality?

Bethel Coffee is grown at a high altitude in a shaded environment. This allows the beans to have a slow development cycle which instills an intense and fulfilling flavor to each bean. The coffee is not only 100% Arabica, but more importantly, it is grown on a large percentage of Bourbon and Typica coffee trees (which produce higher quality beans than other varieties of coffee trees). Finally, the coffee is prepared using an environmentally friendly three-way washing process, which gives the coffee still one more unique quality-enhancing aspect. We also care about our environment — we do not use any harsh substances.

Why purchase from Kafetos?

Because we care about families and fairness within a business. We see big-named companies make millions of dollars from coffee sales while paying very low prices for coffee purchased in foreign lands — often resulting in farmers paying pennies to their workers. We want to change that, and we will. Help us help them by buying directly from us. We promise to provide quality taste with the freshest supply of coffee, roasted fresh from our 2026 crop and shipped with care. Trust us — you will also feel better knowing that you are drinking coffee that is helping fight against poverty and unfairness.

Our 2026 Fresh Crop is here — cropped in 2026 and roasted fresh to order. It's the freshest specialty green coffee you'll ever have.

Did you know that in the current coffee industry, a coffee farmer has two big problems to face?

The first problem is that they, unfortunately, lose control of their product when they sell their coffee fruit to companies and through a middleman — from importers to exporters, to roasters. Companies and middlemen are the ones benefiting from all the consumer revenue. The sad part is that the actual farmers do not ever see any of the revenue created by this buying and selling.

And on top of losing control of the real value, farmers are also victim to a wildly fluctuating and sometimes arbitrary commodities market, which dictates the price of their coffee fruit. A farmer might work hard to produce the same amount of coffee with the same quality every single year but because of the commodities market, they might wake up one day and find out their product might be worth significantly less than the year prior.

But what if we told you, you can do something to change all of that? By buying coffee directly from Kafetos we can assure you that you are buying directly from a family-owned farm, cutting out the middleman. Our supply chain allows our farmers to be involved with our crops all the way to you, the consumer. Our direct sales also allow farmers to make enough money to continue to feed and spend time with their families.

We ask you to do your part as a consumer to get to know the story of the coffee you purchase. Do not just rely on labels that claim to be fair and direct — try to find out where your coffee comes from, buy from specialty grade roasters that deal directly with farmers, and spread the word. Kafetos exists to help give a better life for farmers and to fight off poverty instilled by big-named companies, all while providing you the best quality of coffee you can buy.
