About Us

We all need coffee.

Almost like a basic human need — and that’s exactly where Kort was born. In Afrikaans, kort carries two meanings: short and need. And if you’re from here, you know the phrase: “Ek kort koffie!”

That’s who we want to be — the brand you reach for when you need coffee, whether it’s beans for home, coffee for an event, or that moment of clarity where you realise your café can become so much more.

We’re here for all of it.

We roast. We serve. And we treat every batch as if it’s destined for the competition stage.

But Kort is bigger than coffee alone.

We train, equip, and empower baristas, business owners, and everyday coffee lovers to take their next steps — to grow, dream, and move forward.

Kort isn’t just about our brand. It’s about creating space for others. Helping them rise. meeting the need.

That’s what Kort is about.
