Great coffee.
Greater purpose.
Specialty coffee roasted in Chiang Mai. Six cafes across the city, each one locally led. Every cup you buy supports the people behind the bar.
More than a coffee company
1981 Espresso Bar Network exists to develop leaders and build community in Chiang Mai — through the coffee industry. We help local people start small, sustainable cafes where real relationships form over great coffee.
Every bean you buy and every cup you share supports the people behind the bar. We roast in-house, train our partners, and believe a good cup of coffee can open the door to something much bigger.
Faithful. Teachable. Fruitful.
Faithful
We steward what we've been given. Every bean is roasted in small batches with care — the same quality we serve in our own cafes, every single day.
Teachable
We never stop learning — about coffee, about people, about what it means to serve well. Each cafe is run by local leaders who grow alongside their community.
Fruitful
We position ourselves to bear fruit and expect excellence, not perfection. Every purchase supports the network and helps launch the next cafe.
