About
Dreams make us travel, grow, advance and direct us towards what fascinates and inspires us. Eric Gervais' dream began in his earliest childhood, when he felt pampered and admired in front of luminous machines filled with everything a little boy wanted; sweets, sweet drinks, crisps, chocolates etc. His dream is to one day own such a machine.
It was in 2001, aged 13, that Eric acquired his first liquor vending machine, with the aim of obtaining a little extra income for his pocket money. The experience lived up to his expectations and Eric sought to expand his acquisition. However, his young age led him to experience disappointments and logistical difficulties. With perseverance and a deep desire to be more financially independent, the story of “Café La Graine” began when he was just a teenager. A young entrepreneur in the making, Eric created a company specializing in filling vending machines of all kinds. Initially, the services were offered on a smaller scale, but the business quickly grew, seeing the number of clients and revenues increase considerably. His dream then just took off.
This meteoric growth allows this young entrepreneur to invest 100% in his company, which allows him to develop several qualities in order to achieve his objectives. Like dreams, Eric continues to evolve and discover what surrounds him. A new passion is born for coffee, but above all on the growing demand for this drink. Still having his vending machine company, he is developing a service offering, namely commercial coffee machines for various businesses.
After some time, he continued to push his dream and aspirations further by focusing on the very basis of coffee making, becoming a roaster himself. This new stage is not without pitfalls, nor without great ease. However, it does not get the better of our entrepreneur who overcomes the new and numerous challenges that this brings. Eric overcomes many hours of work, in order to develop his skills as well as to find the right recipes, transforming a green coffee bean into a tasty and quality product. “Café La Graine” is the culmination of a dream through discipline, investment and perseverance. Today, our philosophy is to promote the feeling of belonging and team spirit at work through coffee breaks. “Café La Graine” wants to be a company that cares about its environment by offering eco-responsible products, as well as a 100% fair trade product. As a result, we are committed to offering you excellent customer service with different service offerings as well as a great diversity and quality of coffee that will satisfy you.
