KTC is the go-to platform for coffee lovers in the Low Countries!
It has already provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the coffee scene in Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as the latest developments in the coffee world.
For a low price, join us on a journey of discovery into the wonderful world of specialty coffee!
There’s really only one good platform for coffee, tea, and cocoa, and that’s koffieTcacao. The platform provides a lot of great information about coffee, tea, and cocoa. I’m in the coffee industry, so I know they always ask the best experts to write their articles. That way, you can always be sure you’re getting the latest and best information.
It’s always interesting to read. A platform full of well-written research pieces, reviews, opinion pieces, and articles about coffee, tea, and cocoa. Personally, I’m most interested in coffee, and as far as I’m concerned, this topic is covered often enough here!
My favorite platform for daydreaming about travel, enjoying all the latest news, or learning from colleagues and tea producers. KTC’s creative touch always reminds me of how wonderfully beautiful the world is and how thoughtful products inspire people around the globe.
Wonderful stories about coffee. Inspiration for making coffee. Fun reviews of undiscovered coffee shops. I simply love it.
KTC is a wonderful platform, both literally and figuratively. It’s a treat every single time. Interesting articles, fun facts, and plenty of variety, all presented in an attractive layout. The coffee, tea, and chocolate that come with the most delicious (and most comprehensive) subscription are surprising and always special.

How to Read Materials in the Archives
The duration of your membership depends on the type of membership you choose. Below, we clearly explain all the options.
1. Annual memberships: Basic, KTC Box, Friend of KTC (with annual payment)
Your membership lasts for one year. The first year is mandatory.
After that first year, your membership is automatically renewed for one year.
You can cancel at any time after the first year; your membership will then end at the end of the current year.
2. Annual “Friend of KTC” Membership with Monthly Payments
You pay monthly, but your membership is valid for one year. The first year is mandatory. After the first year, your membership is automatically renewed on a monthly basis. You can cancel at any time after the first year; your membership will then end at the end of your current monthly billing period.
3. KTC Box Annual Membership with Monthly Payments (4 boxes per year)
You pay monthly, but the membership is valid for one year because you’ll receive four KTC Boxes during that year (one per quarter). The first year is mandatory. After the first year, your membership is automatically renewed on a monthly basis.
You can cancel at any time, but: your cancellation will always take effect at the end of the current box period (per quarter). This means you’ll still receive the box for the period you’re currently in. After that, your membership will end at the end of that quarter.
This prevents people from canceling right between box deliveries and ensures that everyone receives the box corresponding to the period during which their membership was active.
4. BASIS Monthly Membership with Monthly Payments
This is our only membership that can be canceled on a monthly basis.
Your membership is automatically renewed every month, and you can cancel at any time. Your membership will then end at the end of your current monthly period.
You can cancel your membership at any time through your profile on our website. Go to My Account, open your membership, and select “Cancel.” You will then automatically receive a confirmation.
With the KTC Box membership, your membership renews per box period after the first year. A box period lasts one quarter. You can cancel at any time, but your cancellation will always take effect at the end of the current box period. This means you’ll still receive the box for the quarter in which you cancel. After that, your membership will automatically end, and no further payments will be charged.
For other memberships, cancellation works as follows:
Annual membership with annual payment
You can cancel at any time after the first year. Your membership ends at the end of your current annual period.
Annual membership with monthly payments
You can cancel at any time after the first year. Your membership ends at the end of your current monthly period.
BASIC monthly membership
You can cancel this membership at any time. It will end at the end of the current month.
Delete Profile
Upon request, we can also delete your profile.
Please note: If you pay by direct debit, the cancellation button may disappear within 30 days before your next renewal date. This is because WooCommerce is already preparing the renewal at that point. In that case, please send us a message; we’ll then process your cancellation manually, with the same effective date as if you had canceled through your profile.
Having trouble? Send us an email at [email protected] and we’ll take care of it for you.
During the first year, you can always upgrade your membership to a higher tier. The upgrade takes effect immediately, and your new benefit period begins right away. Downgrading is not possible during the first year, because every membership is an annual membership.
After the first year, you can either upgrade or downgrade. An upgrade takes effect immediately. A downgrade always takes effect at the end of your current subscription period. This can be on a monthly basis (for monthly payments) or annually (for annual payments). Until then, you’ll pay the rate of your current membership.
For the KTC Box membership, changes always take effect at the start of a new box period (quarter). You’ll always receive the box corresponding to the period in which you make the change; after that, your new membership type begins.
You can switch by logging into your profile or by sending us a message; we’re happy to help.
We deliver the KTC box every year around the change of seasons—in March, June, September, and December.
Registration for the box closes 2 weeks before shipment. So, for example, if you sign up for a membership on December 8 and the box is shipped on December 16, you won’t receive your first box until March of the new year.
