The Coffee Virus Startup Village

Editor's Review

Like its location in the Amsterdam Noord building, known as A Lab, The Coffee Virus Startup Village serves as the proverbial water cooler to a hub of high-tech and science-focused companies; as well as university students and faculty staff situated at Amsterdam Science Park. But it’s far more than H2O that The Coffee Virus serves.

Business founder Floris van Luttervelt devotes as much attention to what his guests eat as what they drink. Slow coffee can be ordered as an AeroPress, V60 or from a batch brew, while menu highlights include a deluxe tandoori chicken sandwich or, for vegans, a green curry hummus salad.

The word “virus” might not have the soundest connotation across fields, technology included, but Van Luttervelt emphasizes a viral agent’s capacity to spread and proliferate. It is similar to the spirit he invokes when encouraging his customers to network and exchange ideas, often fuelled by coffee.
