Why you should support “coffee roasters near me”:
The best coffee shops in the country don’t go by the name of Starbucks or Costa, the best coffee shops are the ones who have spent time and limitless effort sourcing the best coffees from around the globe and making them available to you. Drinking high street coffee is the wrong choice for anyone who calls themselves a coffee drinker!
Here is why the high street option should be avoided:
- The coffee is stale! That’s right, due to the lengthy and complex supply chain (which is set up this way to save costs) means that coffee is in transit/storage for so long that it goes off.
- They hide poor quality coffee by using a huge amount of different coffee beans. By mixing in as many as possible, they can hide the low value low taste inclusions.
- They add flavouring to the coffee to make up for the poor quality and poor tastes.
- It is overpriced to say the least! £3 for a coffee which is stale and tasteless, compared to what is available in the speciality coffee market, is unfair pricing for the coffee drinkers out there.
So, head down to the coffee shop “near me”, meet your local coffee roaster, and show them some support by discovering the amazing world of speciality coffee roasters!
