Our coffee
Find your favourite blend
There is no single definition of the perfect coffee, which is why we have developed a collection of blends with different flavour profiles, strengths and characteristics.
- Blend 0
A medium roast, mountain water processed decaf coffee from Mexico. This blend is has a clean, crisp and mild taste
- Blend 1
100% Arabica, A light/medium roast from Brazil/Rwanda. Smooth dark chocolate flavour with hints of orange and vanilla.
- Blend 2
Fairtrade medium roast from Brazil/Vietnam. This blend has a sweet flavoured milk acidity, with woody and caramel notes.
- Blend 6
A medium roast from Brazil/Vietnam. This is our strongest blend, with hints of liquorice and cinder toffee.
- Blend 7
A medium roast from Brazil/Vietnam. This blend has a slightly tart fruity and sweet acidity taste.
As an independent, I want to be able to compete with the Big Boys on the high street and I felt that the package that Balmforth and Co provide helps me do that. My machine is top quality, my coffee, the best on the high street and I have round the clock servicing and supplies.
