Meet the Roaster: Clifton Coffee Roasters
Clifton, Bristol.
From our very first cupping session with Clifton Coffee, we were blown away by just how great their entire range tastes. Their coffee represents a wide range of delicious flavours from fruity to more traditional flavours.
Roasting from the city of Bristol, Clifton Coffee Roasters has been around almost 20 years and produces some of the finest speciality coffee in the UK.
They were originally set up to service espresso machinery for various independent businesses in Bristol. In 2013, they embarked upon their coffee journey for their own interest as much as their customers, delivering coffee quality and education to drive the industry forward.
Fast forward to 2020 and they're award-winning roasters with 95% of their volume bought directly from origin. Clifton works closely with co-operatives, private exporters, NGOs and Indigenous Rights Groups to ensure they sell ethical coffee, free from exploitation and truly traceable.
They've come a long way, now at the forefront of the UK speciality coffee scene supplying not only independent roasters but also Michelin-starred restaurants and 5-star hotels across the UK.
