Meet the Team
Frederik Dreyer
Co-Owner
The versatility and ease of making a great cup of coffee, pretty much anywhere, is what makes Aeropress his go-to brewing method (despite owning almost every coffee-making contraption).
The Drakensberg is Frederik’s second home and on Tuesdays you can find him at Wolwespruit, running the time trial and enjoying his favourite recovery drink, a cold Hazeldean Pilsner.
Pieter Conradie
Co-Owner
A fan of African coffees, Pieter loves the juicy mouthfeel that these coffees typically provide.
Even though he is the guy with the espresso machine, Pieter is a big fan of preparing his morning coffee using a V60 pour-over – always pushing his coffee to its full potential.
However, we strongly advise avoiding discussions on this topic with him as you might find yourself stuck in a never-ending discussion (this guy can go on for hours when asked how he prepares his morning V60).
Fun fact – On meeting Pieter, you might be surprised by the unique qualities of his hair. It is fair to say that he might just be the blondest guy you’ll ever meet!
Leendert Dreyer
Roaster / Web Designer
He joined the team a little later into the game, when they required his skills as Web Designer to help grow the online business into what it is today.
He’s also the full time roaster at Gegrond, being addicted to eating coffee beans, he tastes every batch to ensure its quality 😉
Leendert enjoys his coffee the most with a plunger during his gaming sessions at night.
