Connecting Producers and Roasters Online Since 2015
Algrano was founded by three friends Gilles, Christian and Raphael after spending time together in Brazil. They realized that behind the request from one coffee producer to ‘help me sell my coffee’ there was a much deeper need to address the information asymmetry and power imbalances in the industry, and the internet provided a chance to do things better.

We create change with technology to enable independent producers and roasters to thrive.

entrepreneurs
You can still buy coffee from Alessandro Hervaz, who was one of the first to list his coffee with us. Honey Farms and APAS have made over 180 sales directly to 58 roasters in Europe and the USA.
“As a small producer, when I manage to sell our specialty coffees internationally, I get an average 50% price increase compared to the domestic market, and up to 100%. That makes a big difference to me.”
