Discover why Monmouth Coffee Roasters are still one of the best.

The team at Monmouth coffee roasters travel extensively throughout the year, visiting the producers and cooperatives with whom they currently work and looking for interesting varietals of coffee and new farms from which to buy.

During these visits they talk to farmers and cooperative members, learning more about the coffee they grow and process and the challenges that they face. They then look to establish a relationship with the grower and exporter of that coffee. They believe that where such a relationship exists, quality, quantity and price requirements can be discussed in an open and equal way. They see this as sustainable, fair and equal trade.

Monmouth coffee roasters started roasting and retailing coffee in 1978. At the beginning they roasted in the basement of their shop on Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, using rather old‑fashioned, direct-flame machines, first a small UNO and then a 1930s Whitmee.

Almost thirty years later in 2007, having opened another shop in Borough Market and outgrown their basement in Covent Garden, they moved into three converted railway arches in Bermondsey. And now after ten years, they have moved their roasting site again, just a little further east to Spa Terminus in Bermondsey where they have converted five arches into a roasting, tasting and office space.

 The coffee at Monmouth roasters is world-famous and are rightfully one of the best coffee roasters in London as visiting any of their outlets is an experience. They offer ever-changing coffee throughout the years which you can buy online to next to their monthly coffee subscription that showcases different regions, methods and roasts.
