Development was created to be a modern-classic, a side-eye to the old skool. A big, bold profile, but not too dark; a rebellious crowd pleaser.

Big chocolate, smooth caramel, and bursting with dark berries. It owns milky drinks and will stretch to a delicious black coffee. 


Tasting notes describe the sensory qualities of the coffee; batching aroma, flavour, body, acidity and finish together to provide a snapshot of what you can expect. It's a subjective shortcut, but it's our take on it.

This refers to the process we use to transform green coffee beans into roasted coffee. It involves factors like temperature, time, the rate of heat application, and bean density. Different roast profiles result in varied flavour profiles and we roast our own way here at Craft House. Our profiles are unique and give our coffees character. As a specialty roaster we tend to avoid the darker end of the spectrum but we do crowd please. A lighter roast emphasises the bean's origin and acidity, while a medium roast balances acidity and sweetness. A darker roast, brings out bolder flavours like chocolate, caramel and nuts.
Brew to your own beat.

Regular deliveries of freshly roasted specialty coffee direct from the Roasthouse, straight to your door. Play it safe with a bestseller or go off-track and switch things up. Choose your coffee, frequency, quantity and grind, and start, stop, flex or change whenever you like. It’s that simple.
The Story

BLEND CRAFT

Blending coffee isn't just about being efficient, it's about providing a consistent, repeatable coffee experience that can become the mark of a roaster or place.

Blends are carefully crafted by combining beans from diverse origins, creating a harmonious profile; a solid, reliable bond of characteristics. This approach allows us to offer a consistent, well-rounded coffee year-round, showcasing the best qualities of each bean. Whether you enjoy your coffee black or with milk, there's a blend out there with your name on it.

While some blends emerge from experimentation, others are created with a specific flavour profile in mind. Regardless of their origin, high-quality blends, expertly roasted, offer a distinct and satisfying brew.

It's important to remember that the composition of a blend may evolve seasonally to ensure optimal freshness, maintain quality, and match profiles. Coffee beans ripen at different times of the year and coffee is a raw, natural product, so you have to go with the flow.

CRAFTSTACK™ Programme

CRAFTSTACK™ is our remastered sourcing and sustainability programme.

We only work with high-grade 100% Arabica beans that meet our strict standards. We can pinpoint exactly where our coffee beans come from and who produces them and we always pay our fair share. It’s only right.

We set standards, make change, and spearhead a fair and transparent approach to coffee. One that builds genuine relationships, rewards quality, and ripples across the wider coffee community.

We’ve set quality foundations and defined expectations for our green coffee partners, established a ‘lens’ that filters our coffee selections, and made commitments to make change as a result.

We prioritise smallholdings and those farms striving to do better. We form long-term relationships, and repeat-purchase harvests to support our producers.

Continued cooperation, harvest-to-harvest makes us all better, bonded. This is the way we forge forward. Progress made, but there’s still more to do.

Roast Breakdown

We commit to every batch of Development, taking a more-is-more approach. We roast each coffee component separately before slowly blending to ensure even distribution of beans.

Roasting the origins separately allows for precise control over flavour development. This method enables us to tailor roast profiles to each beans' unique characteristics, minimising the risk of flavour dominance and ensuring optimal development for each component within the blend. The result is a more nuanced and complex profile.

Our South American coffees from lower altitudes need a gentler touch, lower heat and lower airflow so we can draw out all the flavours without rushing the process. Whereas, our African coffees, grown at higher altitudes, get a little more heat and airflow to keep the roast developing. When two origins come together, you get a beautiful parity.

Our blend base comes from our trusted CRAFTSTACK™ Branded Sacks partners in Brazil, Costa Café, with the top alternating between seasons to achieve the flavour profile.
