Freshly Roasted Specialty coffee

Coffee blends

Our coffee blends bring together some of our favourite coffees from direct trade relationships in Rwanda and Costa Rica.

Our coffee blends are roasted slower than our single-origin coffees, which helps to tame some acidity making these more suitable for use with milk. The slower roast also makes our blends more suited to espresso brewing, especially for anyone new to brewing espresso.

Choosing a blend

Coffee Blend FAQ's

Which coffee blend is best for espresso?

Our Nova and Workhorse coffee beans are great for espresso (especially if you love chocolate/nutty notes). They both contain the same two coffees however, the Nova blend is roasted slightly darker than Workhorse and contains more Brazil making this our most traditional style blend.

If you prefer a juicy, fruity blend with an elevated cup score and loads of character the El Zumo is definitly the one to try!

Can I use a blend to make filter coffee?

Yes, all our coffee blends make great filter coffee! We would recommend either the Workhorse of El Zumo as the most suitable blends for brewing filter coffee.

The Workhorse blend will showcase tasting notes that include chocolate, nuts and caramel.

The El Zumo blend will showcae tasting notes that include cherry, strawberry and blueberry.

How ethical is your coffee?

Our coffee beans from Brazil, Costa Rica, Rwanda and Kenya are traded directly making sure that growers receive a fair price for their hard work.

Coffees that we don't source from producers directly, are bought from specialist importers. We choose to work with importers that have similar ethical values and are focusing on paying prices that are well above fair trade.


You can learn more about this in our Transparency Report.

Our coffee blends are always freshly roasted on our Loring eco roaster. Buying freshly roasted coffee beans and grinding fresh will help you to produce the best possible coffee. Checkout our range of coffee grinders. 

We are also able to grind all of our coffee blends to order.
