'The best coffee subscription' that 'tastes like it was roasted that morning' has 15% off
For many, a good morning often starts with good coffee. And while supermarket beans are convenient, fresh beans from a local roaster are in a league of their own. Half the joy is finding a delectable blend that suits our morning perfectly, whether that's rich and chocolatey or light and sweet. Plus, buying from an independent somehow makes that first cup taste even better, somehow.
That said, a number of independent roasters still like to keep things strictly in-store. However, Brighton-based Small Batch Coffee Roasters makes it easy to get freshly roasted coffee wherever in the country its fans are. Its speciality beans and blends are roasted locally in Brighton, then sold both in its cafés and online to enable us to enjoy the same fresh flavour at home.
Promising 'coffee at its absolute best; vibrant, full of flavour and miles away from anything sitting on a supermarket shelf for months', the brand is currently offering 15% off first orders for anyone keen to try something new. Just use the code WELCOME15 at checkout.
That means coffees like its Papua New Guinea Paradise Mountain blend - with notes of citrus, blackcurrant and caramel - drop from £27 to £22.95 for 500g, while a 1kg bag of Throwback beans - dark chocolate, citrus fruit and hazelnut notes - falls from £39 to £33.15, reports the Mirror.
For those new to the UK coffee brand Small Batch Coffee Roasters, which says it's "completely committed to the belief that great coffee shouldn't be a luxury", its first café opened in 2006. Since then, it's earned a strong reputation as one of the UK's speciality coffee pioneers, with two sites in Brighton and Hove, and has won awards including the Great Taste Awards and European Coffee Awards.
Boasting an extensive range of coffee options, including decaf, the brand also caters for those with pod machines by stocking its coffee in capsule form. It even offers beans that can be ground to suit a variety of brewing methods, from stove top and filter through to cafetière.
Prices start from around £7, which is a little more than your standard supermarket coffee, but it is still pretty accessible for speciality beans. For regular coffee drinkers, Small Batch Coffee Roasters also offers a subscription from £11.90 a month, delivering freshly roasted single-origin beans chosen by the team, with a promise of "a new coffee from a new corner of the world, every single month."
That said, the WELCOME15 code unfortunately doesn't apply to subscriptions, but new subscribers can currently get 20% off.
The brand also highlights how users will receive freshly roasted coffee to ensure optimum taste with every bag. It shared how the packs "leave our Brighton roastery at peak freshness, so you're always getting coffee at its absolute best".
With fresh (top-quality) espresso being something of a morning essential for many, this isn't the sole independent coffee shop boasting a roastery and made-to-order beans. In South Wales, Americano enthusiasts can pick up Hard Lines both in-store and online, with its subscription service also beginning at £11.50.
