NKG Quality Service
We aim to be NKG’s competence centre for the assessment of coffee quality.
Mission
NKG Quality Concept
To achieve our goals, we have developed the NKG Quality Concept. This involves deepening and sharing knowledge about coffee qualities through the introduction of rigorous standards and the training of NKG quality professionals. In this way, we contribute to NKG companies’ ability to deliver coffees that are accurate to the quality specifications of roasters. We also offer comprehensive training and services for third parties.
