Every figure here is counted from this roaster’s own listings, not from a profile they filled in. We hold no review scores and no verified certifications for any roaster, and we do not collect them. How we count this

How Butterworth & Son compares

£32.00 – £55.00where the middle 80% of their range sits
+23%against the median of their own market, £39.00/kg
£30.00£60.00 per kilo

Every priced coffee they sell is a tick. The solid line is their median, the dashed line the median of their market. A roaster above the catalogue is not overcharging and one below is not better value — we hold no quality signal of any kind, so a price difference is only a price difference.

Often an accountant’s address rather than the roastery, so this is where the company is registered and not necessarily where the coffee is roasted.

From the public company register, matched to this roaster by name and address, and shown only where that match is confirmed — a probable match shows nothing at all. We have not checked these facts ourselves beyond the match; the linked entry is the authority. If this is your business and something here is wrong, correcting the register will correct this page.

What they say about themselves

Delivery

Free over £30.00, which at their median price is about 3 bags of 250 g. their delivery page

These are claims this roaster makes on its own website and we have checked none of them. The sourcing and packaging ones are about the business rather than any particular bag, so they are never applied to an individual coffee. The delivery total is the exception: it is quoted on each of their coffees, because what you pay to have a bag sent to you is part of what the bag costs.
