Current roasts

We rotate the menu as new lots arrive. Right now there are four on the board. Each one has been cupped at least three times before it goes on sale, and the roast date on the bag…

01Kochere Natural, Ethiopia £13.50 / 250g

From the Kochere cooperative in Yirgacheffe, processed as a natural and dried on raised beds for 28 days. It comes out with a deep blueberry note and a syrupy body that holds up well in a French press or AeroPress. Roasted to a light-medium profile at 205°C drop temperature.

02Kochere Washed, Ethiopia £13.50 / 250g

The washed sibling of the natural lot, from the same cooperative but processed through a wet mill and fermented for 36 hours before drying. Cleaner and more citrus-forward. Lemon curd and a faint bergamot finish. Works best as a V60 or Chemex.

03Finca La Hermosa, Guatemala £12.50 / 250g

A honey-processed lot from Finca La Hermosa in Huehuetenango, grown at 1,750m by the Cifuentes family. Owen found this at a cupping in Amsterdam in February 2026. Brown sugar, toasted almond, and a clean cocoa finish. Roasted slightly darker than the Ethiopians. Good as espresso or a stovetop moka.

04Shardcore House Blend £11.50 / 250g

A rotating two-origin blend built around whatever the two most consistent lots are that month. Currently it's the Guatemalan base with a 30% Kochere natural top. Designed to be forgiving across brew methods and grind sizes. The one to reach for when you're half asleep.

05Monthly Subscription Box £22/month

Two 250g bags per month. Owen's pick of the two best-performing roasts. Ships automatically on the first Thursday after roast day. Pause or skip from your account page with no penalty.

06V60 Starter Kit £34

A Hario V60 dripper (size 02, plastic, the one that actually keeps heat), 40 Hario paper filters, and a 250g bag of the Kochere Washed. Comes with a one-page brew guide written by Owen, not copied from the Hario website.

07AeroPress Kit £38

An AeroPress Go (the travel-sized one that fits in a bag), 100 micro-filters, and a 250g bag of the Kochere Natural. The AeroPress Go is smaller than the original but brews the same volume. Good for summer camping or a desk that doesn't have much room.

08Wholesale 1kg Bag £18/kg

Any current roast in a 1kg resealable kraft bag, roasted to your schedule. Minimum order 3kg. We'll arrange a free cupping session before your first order so you know exactly what you're getting.
