Full Spectrum Coffee: A Different Kind of Roastery

At the heart of Shropshire's emerging speciality coffee scene sits Full Spectrum Coffee, a small-batch roastery with a refreshingly different approach. Founded by Tom who is on the autism spectrum and a massive coffee enthusiast, Full Spectrum represents a quiet revolution in how coffee spaces can operate.

Tom's journey into the world of coffee began during his university years in Leeds, where he found himself embraced by a vibrant and inclusive café culture. Particularly formative were his experiences at Stage Espresso and Brew Bar, where proprietors Matt and Martyn fostered an environment that celebrated Tom's enthusiasm and accepted him exactly as he was.

Upon relocating to Shropshire after graduation, Tom quickly discovered that such welcoming spaces weren't universal. With firsthand experience of how challenging the coffee industry can be for neurodivergent individuals—the constant socialising, fast-paced environments, and overwhelming sensory experiences—Tom identified a gap that needed filling.

The Origin

The Suke Shakisso coffee from Full Spectrum Coffee Roasters originates from the Guji Zone region of Ethiopia.

Grown in the volcanic Guji region of Ethiopia, these coffees benefit from high altitudes, nutrient rich soil and a slow maturation, giving them a characteristic depth and brightness.

Natural forest shade and litterfall fertilisation further contributes to the sustainability and quality of these coffees

A classic Ethiopian, this Guji has some pretty hefty fruit notes and a bright acidity.

But the big red berry notes give way to a gorgeous custardy body with a chocolatey finish, something that, when paired with milk as espresso, is uncanilly like a good trifle.

The perfect coffee to offer your nan after a sunday roast!

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
