Our journey to coffee

About us

Having built and sold our family business in 2022 we were looking to see what we could do next. We wanted to create a business that was closer to our hearts and maybe put a smile on people's faces in the morning. After much too-ing and fro-ing we stumbled across coffee.

We kept talking about how surprisingly hard it was to get good coffee and how most of the time what was described wasn’t what you got. We started to think that if we were struggling then maybe others were too. We started chatting to friends and family and quickly realised that we weren’t alone. Lots of people were tolerating average coffee, whilst constantly looking for the cup they really wanted.

We set out to find the best coffee around and then share it with you so you don’t have to spend ages looking yourself.

Our inspiration

It all began with a friend saying how far they travelled to get good coffee and it just got us thinking about the very few times we had actually been blown away by a really good brew. This ignited a passion within us to go and find the best coffee the UK had to offer so you don’t have to and we have been on a mission ever since.

Making a difference

Every day, we wake up with a shared goal: to make a positive difference in the lives of our customers through the power of great coffee. We are driven by the desire to put a smile on our customers faces in the morning as they drink their first cup and help them get ready to face the day. The world is a mixed up, messed up place sometimes and we know how tough it can be but we recognise it’s often the little things that put a smile on our faces and get us through the day. In our small way we want to help with this.
