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.
