Coffee

Our team has sourced the best possible coffee that we could get our hands on from around the world. We have dedicated years of research and developed this to perfect our unique signature blends, ideal for the discerning coffee connoisseurs. 


Coffee Origin

The character of coffee is influenced by the region, terroir, climate and then partnerships. Consider Ethiopia, Colombia & Sumatra to start and get into El Salvador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Kenya, Tanzania & India deliciousness. Then perhaps a Cup of Excellence from Minas Gerais, a washed Huila or a natural from Sidamo. The best people choose their partners well.

At Specialist Beverages we offer a coffee tasting session to experience for yourself how various factors affect your coffee delivery to your customers. We help you select the right answer for your business.  Our team will guide you in this process and advise you on the right coffee for you. It is always about you and growing the value of your brand.


Single Origin

On our travels we have sourced some of the best single origin coffee known to man, which will help take your coffee experience to the next level. We work with several bespoke roasters depending on your needs and understand that no one size fits all.

Our highly experienced technical teams are always on hand to keep your coffee perfect cup after cup.


Bean to Cup

We have a unique approach to using state of the art Bean-to-cup coffee machines.  We give the machine to our master technician who gets to work tuning it far beyond its manufacturers setting.  Our unique technical taste setup programme finely tunes each machine to the specific blend of coffee you chose.  We focus on great quality milk texture with an excellent shot base.  Our process results in superb coffee time after time.


Traditional Machines

We work closely with a wide range of traditional coffee machine manufactures covering all areas of the speciality market. Setting up equipment correctly, preventatively servicing and addressing water issues are key factors to consider. Dialling in specific blends and controlling the shot factors are all part of our technical taste setup programme for traditional's.


Filter Coffee machines

Our goal is to create outstanding filter coffee and use it as a benchmark for your espresso based beverages.  We offer an exceptionally high standard of specialty brewed coffee and state of the art filter brewing machines with gold cup extraction standards and fresh Grind & Serve systems as the price of entry.


Grinders

The coffee grind is probably the most important factor to control and is certainly one that can make the biggest difference if selected & calibrated properly. Preparation is key, and the right grinder will control a consistent dose and texture giving you the ability to create outstanding coffee time after time.


Water Boiler

Energy efficient water boiler with a compact footprint. Plumbs directly into a mains supply. Excellent value for money. Easy to descale and service. Controlled electronically and made with 95% recyclable material.
