About Us
A little bit of background about the Monkeyspeak Coffee Family
Monkeyspeak Coffee was born in 2016 in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. Since 2018 our main offices, workshop and warehouse are in Makati, Metro Manila.
The catalyst was simple and obvious, at least to us, at the time. The most common coffee consumed even in semi-respectable establishments was the 3-in-1 (no disrespect to the manufacturers, but 27 ingredients don’t equal a coffee), followed by brewed (or percolated) coffee. From there we go to commercial equipment, which is hardly affordable, requires professional training and is basically out of reach of virtually any home and a vast majority of F&B establishments.
And so, Monkeyspeak was conceived on the foundation of:
- Introducing to every segment (household, office and hospitality) a way of accessing great coffee at affordable prices, with minimal training, in a space minimalist way’ and
- Educating and informing the Filipino consumer by being an enabler in the knowledge transfer and upward migration to a better-quality coffee experience
We love helping the Philippine coffee lovers and first timers.
Our goal is to be the preferred provider of single serve beverage products and services, accessible to coffee lovers of the Philippines across all market segments..
So, what is it that we do?
Our core focus is on providing space, energy and cost efficient “Single Serve” coffee solutions, which are user friendly, and ideal for HORECA (i.e. Hotels / Restaurants / Catering; Food Service), residential, office, showroom, hotel in-suite, meeting and convention spaces, shared work spaces; etc.
Recently we have made a conscious decision to expand the variety of the offering from mainly the Nespresso system coffees and chocolates, to also include teas and Dolce Gusto compatible capsules.
As well as the ever-evolving range of consumable products we also focus on presenting a versatile selection of equipment and accessories which we actively source with the intention of providing our clients viable and interesting options:
- Equipment such as espresso machines - both compact and commercial
- Accessories ranging from exclusive glassware to cleaning products
- Sauces and Syrups
- Locally sourced Beans & Grounds
- Coffee Drip and French Presses
We have a physical store in Central Square Mall, BGC with a loyal customer base, where anyone can visit to sample from the product range, pick up their favorite pour and accessories, shop for a great selection of gifts and ask our team questions and advice.
However, our primary focus is on three main channels:
- ONLINE – allowing us to reach and be reached by consumers not only in Metro Manila but in every corner of the Philippines no matter how remote and to offer the best variety, value, and service
- B2B (HORECA) – Hotels and resorts nationwide, for their food service outlets and for in-room coffee. Whether an 8-suite boutique resort or a 700 room business hotel, we have the know-how, service standards and value proposition to suit.
-
B2B – Offices and workplaces through coffee subscription packages, creating a superior coffee experience for visitors and employees alike without the major investments in equipment and training, or the countless hours lost in chain coffee shop queues.
For us everything starts and ends with the client. In this regard, our goal is to ensure a seamless and consistently positive customer experience. No challenge is too big or too little to tackle.
We are fully focused on proactively protecting the environment. Our range is almost entirely in Biodegradable and Bio-compostable capsules, while the remainder is fully recyclable. For our corporate clients this translates into a major tick in the areas of environmental management and CSR. While for every one of us and our clients, every cup of coffee is an active step away from contributing to environmental ailing: Healthy Body – Healthy Mind – Healthy Planet.
We are fully committed to supporting local Micro and SME businesses, and always open to collaborations.
If you have an idea you would like to discuss just reach out – it’s easy to reach Vic or Lex without the need to climb the corporate ladder.
