Welcome Copper Coffee!
Our next roaster profile is of Copper Coffee Roasters, in Cobham.
Q – Why or how did you get into coffee roasting?
We’ve all worked in the coffee industry for many years, most recently recruiting for roles at many large coffee machine manufacturers. We were looking to try and do something a bit different and somehow landed on coffee roasting!

Whoever the first guy to roast coffee beans was – would love to know the truth behind the origin of a tradition that has stood the test of time

Q – Which causes do you care about most as a business?
The environment is a big one for us, our roaster is electric only and we use Bulb energy (100% renewable energy/green energy) to power everything we do. We use our grinds and chaff at a local allotment and have partnered with some local charities.

Around 100 years ago it was a chicken coop!
