Assembly Coffee

About Assembly Coffee

Assembly are the quality and customer focused coffee roaster based in Brixton, London. They are one of the few coffee roasters in the UK that are pushing the boundaries of each aspect of their business. The Assembly roastery is housed in a 19th century fire station in the heart of London. The Loring roaster alongside a state of the art coffee sensory lab and a couple of event spaces to hold cuppings is a testament to how serious these guys take specialty coffee. Visit Assembly’s Website Launched in 2015 during the annual London coffee festival, Assembly are now showcasing their coffee on a global scale. Their sister company Volcano coffee works formed the foundation of what Assembly coffee is today, enabling the founders to really dig deep into cafe owners’ needs and create a concept that was different to what was already on offer. One of the most obvious differences in their retail coffee especially is the packaging. Not only is the bag a really unique organic rice paper material but the stunning artwork represents the flavours the development team tastes in the coffee. I love the concept of imagery and colour representing taste. It gives you an idea of the profile without suggesting specific flavours and highlights the differences in each of our perceptions of taste. Secondly, the coffee is of the highest standard. There is no compromise in quality and the meticulous quality control that these guys have as a standard is why they are dropping some of the best speciality ground coffees on the market today. The biggest difference in how Assembly operates for me is their collaborations. When talking to their business manager, Ed, he explained how the team is in constant conversation with their customers, whether it’s a retail customer purchasing a 250g bag every other week or a wholesale cafe that orders dozens of kilos per week. The Best Coffee Beans UK | Reviewed We sip and slurp coffee from all over the world. Discover which of these were our teams favourite. This conversation enables Assembly not only to build strong long lasting relationships and understand their customers wants and needs but also keeps their finger on the pulse of the specialty coffee industry. Overall, I have been super impressed with both the coffee that Assembly are producing and the culture that they have created.

Coffee Origin

The Cajamarca from Assembly Coffee Roasters originates from the Cajamarca region of Peru.

A country blessed with epic landscapes, mysterious history and many different cultures, Peru has an enormous amount of places to be explored. It is also one of the largest coffee producing countries in the world. As in many Latin American countries Peru has experienced a fairly turbulent past and the coffee industry has at times suffered because of the countries circumstance.In the 70’s when the government pulled out their support of the industry, coffee production sank, with very little infrastructure existing. Although Peruvian coffee production has now fully recovered from the lows of the 70’s, infrastructure still remains a problem in certain areas of the country, in particular logistics.Some farms have to transport unprocessed coffee to mills that are situated much further away than typically desired. With the tourism industry booming and Peruvian cuisine amongst the most talked about in the world, more speciality coffee is staying put in Peru.
