Where it all began...

Back in 2019, working as a Commercial Gas Engineer, I found myself working on a Coffee roaster for the first time, this is where I first discovered the Coffee roasting process. From then, I continued to work on several other Coffee roasters throughout the country, gaining more knowledge in the speciality coffee industry. 

As someone who loves Coffee, it has always been an interest, but after further research it became a business idea. In 2024, I decided to take the plunge and invest in a roaster, after scouring the internet for months I found myself on a 400 mile round trip, to collect the Diedrich IR2.5 roaster that we use today.

Soon after, I attended London School of Coffee where I completed a course in Coffee roasting and the business of Specialty Coffee. This has given me a strong foundation to source and roast great tasting coffee.

After spending countless weekends, and any free time I had (along side my full time job), I converted my garage into a micro roastery. From there, I registered the business with the Food Standards Agency, where they visited and inspected the roastery and I'm pleased to say awarded a 5* rating. 

Moving Forward...

My plan is to attend more courses at London School Of Coffee, to continue to expand my knowledge in Speciality Coffee, including coffee sustainability. Furthermore, I wish to network with different coffee importers, who have a good ethos and work with green coffee producers, to improve and support their livelihoods through fair-trade, transparency and good working conditions. I also plan to attend artisan markets, working with local businesses where possible, and to continually monitor our carbon footprint.
