About Hot Numbers Coffee Roasters
The name is a reference to an old record store that was on a nearby street. This is a testament to the nature of Hot numbers, paying tribute to the traditions and heritage of the local neighbourhood while showcasing some of the finest coffee in the UK and unifying two passions in their niche of coffee with music (or music with coffee). Owner Simon is the driving force behind the Hot numbers; I am still on a journey, one I’ll never tire of. Working as a barista, making great drinks, having great discussions as we share a morning coffee …that’s what I live for! The coffees that these guys roast are some of the best around. They recognise that there has been an incredible amount of work at source for the green coffee to reach them and that is celebrated with each single-origin coffee that they showcase. The coffee menu is constantly changing at Hot numbers and the weekly sample roasting that they conduct is not only furthering their knowledge of coffee origins but also bettering current roast profiles to deliver the best possible coffee to you. At the time of writing this, they had 8 single origins on offer, a decaf and 3 blends.

Coffee Origin
The San Carlos from Hot Numbers originates from Cacahuatique Mountain in El Salvador. The farm named San Carlos Dos is a huge operation of 126 members each with their families living on the land and working as a group with the land split into 25 separate lots.
Our newest offering from El Salvador is a Natural Processed lot from the San Carlos Dos farm.
The wet mill and patios for the processing the coffee is situated at 1400masl up the mountain providing a perfect location for drying the coffees as it is situated facing north/northeast which is the direction of the prevailing winds which helps to maintain stable temperatures for drying coffees.
What To Expect
First sips of this coffee were smooth and buttery, the fruity aromas take a back seat and more rich velvety caramel notes take hold of the taste profile and create a warming and incredibly pleasant mouthfeel (which was even more delicious, as at the time of writing this it was snowing outside).
