About Gofer Coffee
Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, is home to a rich tradition where coffee is celebrated as a symbol of hospitality, culture and community.
Ethiopian coffee, crafted with purpose.
Gofer Coffee is a woman-led Ethiopian coffee brand built on a passion for exceptional coffee, a commitment to quality, and a belief in the value of transforming coffee at its origin.
From carefully sourced Ethiopian Arabica to roasting and packaging, we are committed to bringing the richness of Ethiopian coffee to the world while creating meaningful opportunities for women throughout the coffee value chain.
Founded by Maeden Alemayehu, Gofer Coffee brings together a passion for coffee, a commitment to women’s empowerment, and a vision for a stronger Ethiopian coffee industry.
Every bean has a story. Every cup creates an opportunity.
At Gofer Coffee, coffee is about more than what is in the cup. It is about the farmers who nurture every bean, the women whose work sustains the industry, and the opportunities created when more value is added at origin.
Our commitment to women is reflected in our business, from a café workforce comprising over 75% women to sourcing coffee from women coffee farmers and their cooperatives.
We believe that quality coffee and meaningful impact can grow together. Every step we take is an opportunity to celebrate Ethiopian coffee, recognize the people behind it, and contribute to a more inclusive coffee industry.

From the origin of coffee to the world.
Our vision is to establish Gofer Coffee as a recognized Ethiopian coffee brand in international markets, showcasing the country’s exceptional Arabica through quality roasting, thoughtful packaging, and authentic Ethiopian coffee experiences.
We believe Ethiopia should be recognized not only as the birthplace of coffee, but also as a destination for world-class coffee roasting, branding, and value addition.
By bringing more value to coffee at its origin, we aim to create new market opportunities, strengthen the Ethiopian coffee value chain, and help ensure that more of the value generated by coffee reaches its source.
