A Matter of Concrete (AMOC): High-end specialty coffee from Rotterdam

A Matter of Concrete (AMOC) is a specialty coffee roaster based in Rotterdam, Netherlands , founded in 2021 by Rob — one of the most complete profiles within European specialty coffee.

At BrewFusion , AMOC represents the perfect balance between innovation, technical precision and top-segment coffees , with a selection ranging from impeccable classic profiles to ultra-exclusive experimental lots.

Philosophy: Coffee as an investment

At AMOC, coffee is not just a beverage, it's an investment in flavor, experience, and longevity .

Their approach is based on:

  • Select only top-segment coffees
  • Building strong and lasting relationships with producers
  • Constantly develop roasting processes and profiles

This positioning places AMOC within the highest segment of specialty coffee in Europe .

Selection based on blind cupping

One of the pillars of A Matter of Concrete is its completely objective selection process: all coffees are evaluated using blind cupping .

This means that every coffee has a fair chance, without bias based on origin, producer, or hype.

The result:

  • Perfectly executed classic coffees (e.g., clean and balanced Brazilian coffees)
  • Experimental and rare coffees with unique profiles
  • Exclusive high-scoring lots (86+ / 90+ SCA)

Always with a clear objective: to offer complex, clean and profound coffees.

Classic coffee vs experimental coffee

AMOC works with two main lines within specialty coffee :

  • Classic profiles: balanced, clean and consistent coffees, ideal for daily consumption
  • Uncommon profiles: unique coffees, with rare varieties, innovative processes or unusual sensory profiles

This is where innovative producers and projects like these come in:

  • CATA Export
  • Nestor Lasso
  • Los Nogales Farm
  • Linarco Rodríguez
  • Fidel Huancas

With coffees that include processes such as co-fermentation, anaerobic and experimental , as well as exotic varieties and dessert coffee profiles.

Roasting: precision technology

In his roastery, AMOC uses a Loring S35 Kestrel , one of the most advanced and efficient machines in the world.

Its setup includes:

  • High energy efficiency roasting system
  • Sovda color sorter for perfect grain selection
  • Tasting room and quality control
  • Processes designed for maximum consistency

The result is clean, expressive, and technically flawless coffees.

Real sustainability (not marketing)

AMOC adopts an honest approach to sustainability:

  • Certified renewable energy (Gold Standard)
  • Active waste reduction
  • Logistics optimization
  • Direct relationships with producers

Their philosophy is clear: not to greenwash, but to make real decisions with impact .

Packaging: design + sustainability

One of the most distinctive elements of A Matter of Concrete is its packaging system:

  • AMOC Jars: reusable containers made from recyclable PET
  • Refill system: lighter and recyclable bags
  • KG bags: a balance between coffee protection and sustainability

The goal: to reduce waste without compromising coffee quality.

Iconic location: Van Nelle Factory

AMOC is located in the historic Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This place was one of the largest coffee roasters in Europe in the 20th century, and today AMOC revives that tradition with a modern and futuristic vision.

AMOC founder Rob has an exceptional track record:

  • Winner of Coffee Masters London 2019
