Great news for all our patrons who are as passionate about the environment as they are about their coffee. We're thrilled to announce an exciting, eco-friendly addition to our coffee purchasing options: Food Grade Reusable Tubs.
Why Reusable Tubs? In our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we've decided to introduce an option that's not only better for the planet but also for your coffee experience. By choosing reusable tubs, you're helping us reduce waste and promote a more environmentally conscious coffee culture.
How Does It Work? It's simple and flexible! You can either bring your own food-grade tub or we can provide you with one for a returnable deposit. This initiative is part of our effort to encourage reuse and reduce the reliance on single-use packaging.
Exclusive Sizes &amp; Savings For the first time ever, we're offering our beloved coffee in bulk sizes &ndash; exclusively available with this eco-friendly option. You can now purchase 500g of your favourite coffee for just &pound;15, or go bigger with 1kg for only &pound;28.

Belper Coffee Now at The Bank! @Belper

At Belper Coffee Co., we love our 1kg electric roaster which allows us to roast in small batches in our garage, delivering our customers the freshest beans possible. But did you know that our journey began five years ago with a humble converted bread machine and the Corretto Method?
It all started when Aaron came home one day wielding a second hand heat gun he had purchased for &pound;10 from a questionable seller on Facebook Marketplace. An even more questionable second hand bread machine purchase followed, and Holly would regularly find Aaron reading the home roasting Reddit at 4am.
Aaron had researched different coffee roasting methods and stumbled upon the Corretto Method, which involves roasting coffee in a modified bread machine. It was a DIY setup, but it gave us the ability to experiment with different beans and roast levels.
We quickly fell in love with the process and the results, and roasting coffee in our garage was our version of the lockdown sourdough starter. (We did the sourdough thing too, but let's just say there's a reason we set up a coffee company and not a bakery)... We loved trying beans from all over the world and seeing what kind of flavours we could get out of them. The blends we sell now are a direct result of us fine tuning the flavours we like in coffee over the last few years, and we are really proud of them.
As a small business based in Belper, we are proud to be part of a thriving community of independent businesses. Follow us on social media to stay up-to-date with our latest offerings and help us support small businesses in Belper!

How it all started!

As we approach the end of another year, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support, kind words and encouragement for our small, independent coffee roasting company. It's hard to believe that it's almost been a full year since we started on this journey, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to share our passion for specialty coffee with all of you.
Over the past year, we have achieved so many of our goals, and we have you to thank for that. We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to sell our coffee in retail at our favorite local deli, Reunion on Strutt Street, as well as to have dipped our toes in the water of market trading when we set up our stall at Hudson's Plant Centre in Duffield in the run up to Christmas.

Christmas Sale now on

So exciting to see our ad and write up in The Belper Magazine last week. We'll be coming uo to the end of our first year of trading just after Christmas so its a really good time to get to chat through the story so far and give a little insight into our process and plans! Check out the article below and some of the photos you'll see, as well as the ad that ran along side it!
Thank you again to all those who've helped up get this far!
Article follows:
<h1>Local family turns passion to profits with new home-roasted coffee business in Belper</h1>
Started from home during lockdown, Aaron, Holly and family handle all aspects of Belper&rsquo;s newest coffee roasting company in-house, from inventory management and roasting to marketing, branding and website design. Belper Coffee Co is Belper&rsquo;s first specialty-grade coffee roasters, albeit a self-styled, &ldquo;micro-roasters&rdquo;. They roast from home, in very small batches for local coffee lovers on a weekly basis.
&ldquo;We actually started roasting at home a couple of years before the pandemic hit and always thought it might be nice to make a little to sell to the local community as well&rdquo;, Holly explains.&nbsp; &ldquo;I think the lockdowns really propelled that from a thought to reality, partially as a way of trying to bring some extra money in when we really needed it, and perhaps partially to keep us sane!&rdquo;
<img src="https://cms.itzerott.com/uploads/belper/originals/26358c17-f035-4cc2-86e9-91c7be641c15.jpg" alt="1" width="550" height="551" /><img src="https://cms.itzerott.com/uploads/belper/originals/fea39905-4815-44e6-856d-53996e53c5c0.jpg" alt="4 (medium)" width="329" height="551" />
&ldquo;We are trying to keep things nice and small initially by just focusing on a couple of core &ldquo;house blends&rdquo;, explains former barista, Aaron Itzerott, who together with wife, Holly, is the co-owner of Belper Coffee Co. &ldquo;We're currently offering two medium-roasted blends. The first is a fruity African blend for filters and pour overs, which features beans from Tanzania and Ethiopia. The other we&rsquo;ve crafted for espresso, which is based on a lighter Columbian roast than you&rsquo;d usually find in espresso blends. Our blends are constantly evolving and being refined and we are looking to add a monthly single-origin guest coffee soon as well.
In the past few months, Belper Coffee Co also started trading in the high street, thanks to local deli Reunion Belper on Strutt Street. This has helped reach a wider audience and get people talking! As they look to the future, they also acknowledge that they are in no rush to get there.
&ldquo;Although we have big plans and aspirations for the future in terms of upgrading our capacity and supplying to local cafes, I think we are just really enjoying the fact that this is currently something we can manage at home with the kids. It still feels like a hobby in that way, and I think our customers quite like that too!&rdquo;
All Holly and Aaron&rsquo;s coffees come as wholebean or ground to order in 227g valved and lined paper bags.&nbsp; You can order today via the website,<a href="http://www.belper.coffee/"> www.belper.coffee</a>, and find them on Instagram and Facebook to follow their journey and say hello.

New prices, coffees and FREE DELIVERY!

We are thrilled to announce that our little family-run, home-roasting business will now (as of tomorrow), be stocked in our very first local shop!&nbsp;

As we are very small, we can only stock a handful of bags, but interest is growing fast and so we will be looking to upgrade some of our kit in order to keep up! - Keep your eyes peeled for further announcements on that, but for now, we will restock each week with at least 6 bags of freshly roasted and freshly ground, "Filter Blend" - perfect for your pour over or cafetiere!

Belper Coffee on the High Street!

This morning, we sat down to do our final taste testing for our first brand new blend since we launched back in February this year!
It was always our intention to diversify our coffee offering a little, while ensuring we keep things really simple and manageable, while we are keeping our operation nice and small!
Adding a blend specifically designed to shine as a filter blend helps us focus in on really making the best of different brew methods. Our initial offering, named "Founders' Blend", was intended to work across all brew methods. While being convenient, there is a measure of compromise involved in making a blend fit all scenarios, and moving to two different offerings, one for filter and one for espresso, means we can focus each roast profile in different ways.
<h2>About our new coffees</h2>
Our Filter Blend comprises African origin coffees, which showcase gorgeous ripe berry notes, a lively acidity and light, floral notes in the finish!
Although the focus of this blog post is our new Filter blend, we have of course complimented this with the introduction of a new specific Espresso blend, which now comes in to replace our "Founders' blend". Our new espresso roast, borrows from Founders' but allows for slightly more roast development, bringing forth more nutty and chocolate notes - especially lovely with milk as a latte!
Our new blends are available exclusively through our new website on our new WEEKLY roasting schedule, making it even more convenient to get your taste buds round some locally roasted, home made, specialty coffee in Belper!

New filter blend launches for Belper Coffee Co

<h2>She's a beaut!</h2>
Built to last from industrial cast iron, the Santos No.4 is a dedicated "shop" style grinder, designed to grip and fill coffee bags and last a life time!
Having now spent the last week "dialing in" to get the right grid size for each major brew type we grind for we are now using this in production to meet our increasing demand!
We got a great deal on this even though we had to organise getting it brought up from Devon! Props to Aaron's mum for helping with that, (did I mention we are a family business?) She's got a fair few nicks and scuffs, but she's doing a great job and we are very proud of her!
The switch couldn't come too soon as we were starting to wear out our existing, consumer-level grinder out. Running all that coffee through it was a stressful experience!
Come and say hello when you <a href="https://belper.coffee/order" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pick up your next bag!</a>
