Overview

Lot Sixty One was founded in early 2013 by Australian Adam Craig — 'born in Sydney, raised in Brooklyn and roasting in Amsterdam' is the company's own line — together with Paul Jenner, after fifteen years running Culture Espresso and other cafés across Manhattan's fashion-garment district. They opened a small corner café and on-site roastery on Kinkerstraat in Amsterdam-West, and by 2017 the roasting operation had outgrown the café and moved into its own industrial unit in the city's old lumber harbour while supplying espresso bars, hotels, restaurants and fashion stores across the Netherlands.

Known for

  • Founded early 2013 by Australian Adam Craig with Paul Jenner, after running Culture Espresso in NYC for 15 years
  • Antipodean-style espresso bar and roastery on Kinkerstraat, Amsterdam-West
  • Chemex filter program highlighted from the start — early Amsterdam champion of slow-drip
  • Roastery moved to a dedicated industrial unit in Amsterdam's old lumber harbour in 2017
  • Wholesale supplier to many of Amsterdam's Antipodean-run brunch and breakfast cafés

Why it matters

Amsterdam's third-wave coffee scene was still nascent in 2013 — the city had a couple of credible operators but no obvious anchor for Antipodean-style espresso bar culture. Lot Sixty One imported the New York / Sydney café template directly into Oud-West and ended up wholesaling caffeine into much of the new Amsterdam brunch economy; it's effectively the bridge between American specialty's craft phase and the Dutch market.
