Flashback to unloading our last container of Brazilian coffee from . 🥵💪

We dropped in on today in Braintree. A great place to stop for a cup of Our Honduras Abeja and Something Scrummy to keep you going.

In Copenhagen today with Michael and Rob doing some profile conversations ready for our new delivery in November.

Time to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Once we are happy with the roast profile we scale up to production.

Choosing our favourite profile from the roasted samples.

Once we have checked the quality of the green coffee we run some sample roasts ready for cupping. This is the next step in developing the roast profile.

Quality control is a daily part of our work at crude.

Every lot of green coffee we get is graded before we develop its unique roast profile. This helps us to understand not only the quality of the coffee but how it will perform in the roaster.

Sometimes the packaging is as beautiful as the coffee inside.

Caffe Culture 2022 it’s been a blast, great to catchup with everyone!

Cupping some custom blends. Today it’s all about the balance of fruit🍓 , floral 🌸 and chocolate 🍫 notes.

Introducing one of the latest additions to the Crude Coffee community, The Cake Bench in Framlingham.

Be sure to pop in if you are ever passing, the Malteaser Millionaires combinate with our Honduras Honey Abeja flat white is certainly a match made in heaven!

We love it when an install goes to plan, and we’re super-proud to have The Lodge cafe at The All Saints hotel in Bury St Edmunds now serving Crude Coffee.

They wanted something unique and we’ve made up a tasty custom blend of Central and South American speciality coffee that’s only available at the hotel.

They’ll be brewing up on a Conti X-One and Compak E6 grinder, supplied and installed by Daryll @ Coffee Speed.

Another great day of coffee tasting, training and installation down at Burnt House Vineyard in Stowmarket, just in time for their big opening weekend.

They’ll be serving our lovely direct trade, single estate Brazil São Lucas coffee, along with Novus tea and Chocista real flake hot chocolate using a Conti CC102 supplied and fitted by Coffee Speed. 👌
