Douwe Egberts is a brand of coffee, produced by Jacobs Douwe Egberts. It was founded in Joure, Netherlands by Egbert Douwes in 1753 as The White Ox (De Witte Os) a general grocery shop, which later developed into a company dealing in coffee, tea, and tobacco. By 1925 it had changed its name to Douwe Egberts (as in Douwe, the son of Egbert), and had introduced the red seal as its logo. 

The coffee brand Douwe Egberts, especially the cheaper red label, is the traditional coffee drink found in Dutch homes for many years. On the back of the packs of coffee and tea, collectible seals were printed. Traditionally housewives cut these seals to change them for cups, coffeemakers, tea tins etc. This system began around 1925.
