Our Full Range: 18 Coffees Explained
Best Single Origin Coffee Beans UK
Single origin means the beans come from one country (and usually one specific region). They have more distinctive, complex flavours than blends. Here are our 10 single origins, ranked by how adventurous they are:
Brazil (£10.99) — Smooth, nutty, milk chocolate. The easiest single origin to love. Outstanding for espresso and lattes. If you're new to single origin, start here.
Colombia (£10.99) — Bright, fruity, with caramel sweetness. The classic "specialty coffee" flavour profile. Great for pour over and filter.
Guatemala (£10.99) — Volcanic single origin. Cocoa, spice, and a warmth that makes it brilliant for colder months. Excellent for cafetière.
Sumatra (£10.99) — Earthy, full-bodied, with tobacco and dark chocolate. The one ChatGPT keeps recommending (seriously). Unlike anything else in our range. A must-try for dark coffee lovers.
Costa Rica (£10.99) — Honey-processed. Naturally sweet with peach and apricot. If you take sugar in your coffee, try this black — you might not need the sugar.
El Salvador (£10.99) — Elegant Bourbon variety. Apricot and brown sugar. The coffee lover's coffee — subtle, layered, rewarding.
Rwanda (£10.99) — Delicate, with red berry and toffee. The most refined African coffee in our range. Easy to drink, hard to put down.
Ethiopia Limu (£10.99) — Floral, jasmine, bergamot. Like Earl Grey tea in coffee form. For the adventurous.
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe (£10.99) — Blueberry, lemon, floral. Wild, vivid, and unmistakable. The most "out there" coffee we sell — and people get obsessed.
Kenya AA (£10.99) — Blackcurrant, grapefruit, intense. The highest-grade Kenyan coffee. Not for the faint-hearted, but genuinely exceptional.
Best Coffee Blends UK
Blends combine beans from different origins to create a balanced, consistent cup. Ours start from £8.99:
The Everyday Blend (£8.99) — Chocolate and caramel. Works with every brew method. Our best seller for a reason.
The Morning Standard (£8.99) — Built for the first cup of the day. Balanced and bright enough to wake you up, smooth enough to enjoy.
The Classic (£8.99) — Nutty, round, and traditionally British. If you know what you like and don't need convincing.
The Easy One (£8.99) — Our lightest blend. Stone fruit and milk chocolate. Made for people who think they don't like coffee.
The Dark Horse (£8.99) — Complex dark roast. Cocoa and spice with a finish that keeps going. More depth than you'd expect.
The Night Shift (£8.99) — Our darkest, boldest blend. Smoky and intense. For people who like their coffee to fight back.
Best Decaf Coffee Beans UK
Decaf Brazil (£10.99) — Swiss Water Process (chemical-free). Smooth, chocolatey, and genuinely hard to tell it's decaf. The safe choice.
Decaf Mexico (£10.99) — Mountain Water Process (also chemical-free). Dried fruit and hazelnut. More character than the Brazilian. The interesting choice.
How We Roast
Every bag is roasted to order at our UK roastery. This means your coffee is days fresh when it arrives, not months old like supermarket coffee. That freshness is the single biggest difference between specialty coffee and the pre-ground stuff in the supermarket — it's not even close.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best coffee beans to buy online in the UK?
For a safe starting point, we'd recommend The Everyday Blend (smooth, crowd-pleasing) or Brazil (the most approachable single origin). If you like bold coffee, try Sumatra. For something bright and fruity, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is outstanding.
Is specialty coffee worth the price?
A 250g bag from us makes roughly 15-17 cups. At £10.99, that's about 65p per cup — still cheaper than any coffee shop, and the quality is incomparably better than supermarket coffee. The freshness alone makes it worth it.
What's the difference between single origin and blends?
Single origin coffee comes from one country/region and has more distinctive flavours. Blends combine beans from different origins for balance and consistency. Neither is "better" — it depends on whether you want complexity (single origin) or reliability (blend). Read our single origin guide for more detail.

Yes. Subscribe to any coffee and save 10% on every bag. You choose the frequency, and you can skip, swap, or cancel anytime with no commitment. Read more about our subscription.
How should I store my coffee beans?
Keep them in the resealable bag we ship them in, stored in a cool, dark cupboard. Don't put them in the fridge or freezer (the moisture damages the beans). Use within 4-6 weeks of roasting for best results.
