Our Story

I’m Alex, and what started in 2014 with a single coffee van (and a dream) has now become West Berkshire Roastery - complete with two coffee roasters and a Labrador who thinks he’s the CEO. 

Along the way, I discovered that coffee is one big, tangled mess - dodgy practices and shady tactics all over the place. But there’s also a whole lot of amazing farmers doing it right. So, I ditched the usual suspects and set off on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees served with a generous side of transparency.

With some caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences possible. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

We love our caffeine as much as the next person. But sometimes you need a break from the buzz. This decaf coffee, is a rich and flavourful brew that has all the buzz of your regular cup of joe but none of the jitters. Perfect for milky or black coffees.

More from our friends that supply this coffee:

Back in 1995, the Bayter Family rolled up their sleeves and dove headfirst into the agricultural scene at El Vergel farm. Avocado was their main squeeze, but when avocado prices took a nosedive in 2006, they knew it was time to shake things up. So, they tossed some coffee varieties into the mix – catimore, red, yellow caturra – and boom, a coffee empire was born! Fast forward to 2016, and with a little guidance from coffee guru Miguel Jimenez, they planted specialty coffee varieties, setting the stage for some serious coffee greatness. 

Their mission? To blend tech magic with coffee passion and sprinkle a little extra joy into the lives of everyone at El Vergel Estate.

Origin: Tolima, Colombia

Farmers: Elias & Shady Bayter

Varietal: Red and Yellow Caturra

Processing: Washed -  Naturally processed co2 Decaf

Did you know?

Decaf coffee is still packed with antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, and niacin. Only the caffeine molecule is extracted during the decaffeination process. 

How we remove the caffeine from our coffee: 

  1. The green coffee beans are soaked/cleaned in water, as the beans expand the pores open up and the caffeine becomes mobile.
  2. Pressured Carbon Dioxide is introduced, this combined with the present water creates sparkling water. The CO2 acts like a magnet to the caffeine molecules, extracting it from the beans.
  3. The water is then drained into an evaporator which precipitates the caffeine rich carbon dioxide out of the water.
  4. This cycle is repeated until the caffeine level is low enough to be classified as decaf.
  5. The decaffeinated coffee is then gently dried until it reaches its original moisture content and is then ready for roasting.

Roasting Perfection

Unique 1%: We roast using high airflow to reduce impurities for a cleaner taste. 99% of beans aren't roasted this way.

Great Taste Producer

Qualified "Great Taste Producer", guaranteed quality. Winning 8 awards in 3 years.

Natural Brewing

Just coffee in its purest form, roasted for easy brewing. Lab tested for mould, mycotoxins and artificial pesticides.

Simmer Down…delicious!

This is a smooth, flavoursome and gentle brew perfect for late afternoon / evening, without any disruption to getting a good nights sleep. We have it black, as an espresso or long black, using whole beans in a Sage Impress. Would recommend.

Delicious Decaf

Often decaf coffees do not have the same deep flavour and taste as caffeinated beans, however this one is great. Perfect for my second coffee of the day in the afternoon!

Good Coffee, Quick Delivery

The title kind of says it all; I ordered a 1kg bag of decaf with a cafetiere grind. It arrived quickly, has good taste and is rather more-ish.
