The founder

Built by women, brewed with purpose

As a female entrepreneur with a strong educational foundation and certified training in coffee cupping, I have built Gofer Coffee with purpose. From employing over 75% women in our shop to sourcing beans from women farmer unions, my journey is driven by a passion for uplifting and empowering women in coffee.

The purpose

The why behind every bean

Maeden is not only a coffee entrepreneur but also a mother of two boys who constantly remind her why meaningful work matters.

“Their presence in my life fuels my passion to build Gofer Coffee with purpose, integrity and a deep respect for the people behind every bean.”
