How do I become a distributor?
Start with a trial order at the minimum buy-in for the tier, then agree an annual target. Territory or channel protection follows performance rather than being granted up front, and consignment is not offered.
01Fit
Who this is for, and who it is not for.
Suitable for
- Importers with an existing coffee equipment portfolio
- Regional distributors looking for a second brand with better margin
Not for
- Buyers asking for national exclusivity before placing a first order
- Agents who want to introduce customers for a commission
02Scope

05Process
How the collaboration runs
| Stage | Buyer input | What we produce | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Channel assessment — Understand how the buyer actually sells | Channel mix, dealer count, territory, current brands | A recommendation of tier and first offer | Tier agreed |
| Trial order — Prove the sell-through before committing to a target | First order at or above the minimum buy-in | Goods dispatched and product data supplied | Trial order delivered |
| Target and protection — Tie protection to performance | Annual target and market plan | Written territory or channel terms with review dates | Annual target signed |
| Review — Keep the terms honest | Actual purchase figures | Renewal, adjustment or downgrade decision | Annual review |
06Products
Where this capability applies today
KAW-FP-01
Filter PaperThe consumable that turns a one-off equipment sale into a repeat order, which is why it is treated as a product line rather than an accessory.
KAW-SET-01
Coffee Set / Gift BoxThe standard pour-over set in one branded box: grinder, PE server, filter paper and kettle, with a fixed core and a limited menu of add-ons.
KAW-SV-01
PE ServerA single-cup server that closes the pour-over loop without the breakage risk of glass, which is why it sits in the standard set.
07Buyers
Who asks for this
Find a second or replacement brand with defensible margin, protected territory and supply that does not dry up mid-season.
Turn an existing coffee customer base into equipment customers without funding a product development programme.
08IP and confidentiality
Who owns what
Distributor pricing, targets and any exclusivity terms are confidential between the parties. Customer lists and end-account information obtained under a distribution agreement are not shared with other distributors, and are not used by KAFFAWERK to compete inside a protected territory.
09Commercial
Where the numbers come from
MOQ, lead time, payment and sample rules are maintained in the commercial terms and sample policy and are read from there, not restated per capability. Quotation currency is USD, default trade term FOB, valid for 30 days.
10Evidence
Basis for these statements
Distribution is buy-and-resell; consignment is not offered as standard.
