• How our coffee is roasted

How is your coffee roasted?

Everything is done on a small scale. We do not sell factory coffee but coffee that is carefully and skillfully prepared in a traditional drum roaster. The coffee is roasted in a 22kg drum roaster and we slowly roast the coffee, usually around 16 minutes or so depending on which coffee we are roasting.

Do you use profile roasting?

Definitely! All our coffee is roasted according to a profile which results in amazing consistency. Each coffee or blend has its own perfect profile. Many people roast coffee just by hand but we think this can lead to inconsistency.

We use a great software system that controls all aspects during the roast. This means that we can control exactly what is happening during the roast and that is very important.

Profile roasting also allows us to 'copy' a previous roast giving us, you guessed it, great consistency. And we can really control the roast, instead of just roasting to a colour or temperature, we can control how we want to get there. Of course we still have our roaster checking the coffee during the roast to make sure that everything is going according to plan.

Where is your coffee roasted?

All our coffees are roasted at the coffee roastery in Sheffield. Once the roast is finished we ship it directly to our customers for next day delivery. Now, that is fresh! And to prove that it is fresh we label each coffee with a roasting date.

Why do you roast only small batches?

A couple of reasons. First of all it allows us to roast many different coffees and roast it all fresh. Secondly it gives, once again, a great consistency.
