Coffee. Warmth.

Rare beans, roaster's craft and a warm room on Bread Street — King Coffee has poured Bath's mornings for twelve years.

For more than twelve years, King Coffee has helped Bath drink better coffee: freshly roasted beans, reliable brewing kit, thoughtful gifts and straight-talking advice from people who care about the cup.

"World-class coffee, equipment and expertise."

Sourced, Not Just Sold

Rare Beans, Traced
to the Farm

We hunt down small, remarkable lots — the kind most roasters never see — and bring them home to Bread Street a few sacks at a time. Turn your scroll into a slow spin around the bean.

Waking the roaster…
Guji Highlands, 2,000m

Ethiopia

Heirloom trees, washed and sun-dried on raised beds. Jasmine, bergamot and stone fruit in the cup — coffee the way it began.

Small lot · washed heirloom
Boquete, Volcán Barú

Panama

A handful of lots from volcanic soil in the Boquete highlands. Delicate, tea-like, floral — often gone within a fortnight of arriving.

Rare · Geisha varietal
Haraz Mountains

Yemen

Ancient stone terraces and centuries-old trees, sun-dried by hand. Wine, date and dark chocolate in a cup unlike anything else we pour.

Hand-sorted · dry-processed
