Difference Coffee

Difference Coffee brings each coffee’s origin into capsule form. Founded by Amir Gehl, the company sells coffees from specific estates and identified varieties rather than building its catalog around anonymous blends. Its offering connects home-brewing sales with supply to restaurants and hotels, using capsules compatible with Nespresso machines.

The selection spans distinctly different origins. Daterra in Brazil supplies Yellow Bourbon; St Clouds Estate in Jamaica presents Blue Mountain, and Hawaiian Queen Coffee offers Kona from Hawaii. Finca El Injerto contributes Red Pacamara from Guatemala. Each name links an estate, origin, and variety or coffee designation, allowing the choice to begin with a specific origin rather than simply a capsule’s intensity.

Panama has two distinct offerings: Hacienda La Esmeralda’s washed Geisha from the Nido lot and Elida Estate’s naturally processed Geisha DRD. The catalog also includes Wild Kopi Luwak from Gayo Estate and a Daterra decaf made using the Swiss Water process. Difference Coffee describes sourcing lots through competitions and auctions; that selection approach forms part of the identity the company presents for its coffees.

Flavor descriptions distinguish the products. The brand places Yellow Bourbon in a chocolate-and-citrus range, Blue Mountain in a creamy profile with chocolate and nutty notes, and Elida’s natural Geisha in a sweet, juicy profile. The descriptions provide a starting point for comparing origins and varieties. Roasting and packing the ground coffee into capsules bring those references to a home-brewing process simpler than assembling a grinding and espresso setup.

Gift collections provide another way to compare. Foundation brings together two Brazilian coffees; Legends combines Brazil, Jamaica, and Hawaii. Signature and Collector’s Set broaden the selection, while Grand Collection includes the brand’s Gold Cup. The cup is also available through an invitation-based ordering option. The catalog therefore distinguishes a purchase centered on one estate coffee from a box containing several origins.

The professional offering serves restaurants and hotels, while the online store provides capsules and collections to consumers. For United Kingdom customers, Podback offers recycling bags. The Regent Street headquarters is an office address, not a café advertised for having a drink. Difference Coffee’s offering rests on that combination of origin selection, capsule presentation, and home or professional use.
