Douwe Egberts (or DE) is a Dutch company that processes and markets coffee, tea and other foods. The company was founded in 1753.
Douwe Egberts originated when Egbert Douwes and his wife Akke Thysses moved from hometown Idskenhuizen to nearby Joure to start a "store in colonial goods" on March 11, 1753. Douwes and his wife sold items that belong to the pleasures of daily life, including groceries, chocolate and southern fruits.
