About Buisman:
Founded by the Buisman family in the 19th century, Buisman is a brand primarily known in the Netherlands. The product is a powder that enhances the flavour of coffee, giving it a darker and fuller taste. Originally a blend of burnt sugar and sometimes roasted grains, Buisman offered a way to improve the taste of coffee without needing to use extra coffee. Although Buisman is less popular today than it once was, it remains a nostalgic reminder for many people who incorporated the product into their coffee rituals.
