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 uncovered some truths: coffee is one of the planet’s most sprayed crop. Pesticides? Chemicals? Absolutely everywhere. So, I ditched the usual beans and went on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees that don’t come with a side of artificial pesticides.
With a bit of Berkshire flair and caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences you’ll ever sip. I hope you’ll agree. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.
Certification

Our Roastery Collection consisting of White Gold, Signature Gold & Black Gold (and Simmer Down Decaf) has been fully independently lab tested for artificial pesticides, moulds and mycotoxins. Always grown naturally free of chemicals.

The Region
Monsoon Malabar is produced by various smallholder farmers in Chikmagalur, in Karnataka State, one of India's most historic and renowned coffee-growing regions. Situated in the foothills of Baba Budan within the biodiverse Western Ghats, the region benefits from an altitude of around 800 metres above sea level, abundant natural streams and a tropical climate ideal for coffee cultivation.
Coffee is traditionally shade-grown beneath multi-tiered forest canopies, helping preserve the region's exceptional biodiversity while protecting the coffee trees from excessive sunlight. Alongside coffee, many producers also cultivate pepper, cardamom and citrus fruits, creating diversified farming systems.
The coffee is produced by smallholder farms averaging 16–20 hectares, using a mix of locally adapted varieties including Chandragiri, Hemavathi, Selection 9 and Selection 795, selected for their cup quality, productivity and resistance to pests and diseases.
About Processing
Monsoon Malabar is processed using India's unique Monsooning method, a process developed to recreate the character historically acquired by coffee during long sea voyages from India to Europe.
After selective hand-picking, cherries are naturally sun-dried on patios for approximately 11 days, receiving around six hours of sun each day before being milled. The green coffee is then transported to open-sided warehouses in Mangalore, where it is exposed to the humid monsoon winds for two to three months.
Once opened, consume within 4-6 weeks for best results and before best before date. Unopened lasts for 6 months. Best kept in cool dry environment.
Love this one and super fresh
Nice mild taste, dead easy to dial in.
No fancy words a about what flavour-notes I get, just great coffee, giving me everything I want from my cafetière, a flavourful medium roast coffee that is a delight to drink just as it comes out of the pot, black and unsweetened.
Such yummy beans
Certainly a different taste with banana tones. Ok once you've had a few cups and get used to the fruity taste.
Fast delivery as usual ! I treated these beans as Medium to light roast with a slightly courser grind in a Sage grinder and expresso machine - quite easy to dial in. Great result and a lovely taste. Still working on my latte art - 2 months in !
This Christmas yeti coffee is delicious savouring my last few beans I have been brewing it in a Vietnamese phone coffee filter which my daughter brought me back from her time there. The coffee is rich of chocolate and sweet of toffee notes simply delicious.
Tried the Organic Gold, Simmer Down Decaf & Brazil Tropical
The decaf is the best i have had in a decaf. The signature Gold is my go to as it a great taste and full flavour. Just ordering again
Good quality Coffee bean, do the work well, I am surprised they have free delivery, absolutely will return.
A delicious coffee which is part of my morning driver. I've never been disappointed with any of West Berkshires coffees, quality, super tasty coffee.
My search for coffee from Yemen was my reason for finding West Berkshire roastery. Best beans I've tried ever. The character in the cup resembles no other coffee. Took me a while to dial in properly but was well worth the effort. I will be buying this again if WB manage to get their hands on some more. Good price from these guys too I must add.
Thos is amazing coffee. Perfect taste and consistency. The prices are also very reasonable. Highly recommended.
Nice enough coffee for flat whites etc but unfortunately not pleasant as an espresso or black americano - too strong and bitter
Another great bean from WBR, lovely espresso to turn into latte or cappuccino and even coffee cake ❤️
So impressed how fresh roast coffee turns up at the door so fast! This Chocolate Brownie Blend is absolutely lovely
Great coffee that I look forward to making each morning as the aromas and depth is just delicious.
Lovely fresh and tasty coffee, has become one of my favourites
I was actually mooching around looking for some coffee beans that I could get quickly as a household member had polished my supply off without me realising. I came across West Berkshire and loved the thought that had gone in to the sourcing process. Oh my god the coffee is amazing, best bean I’ve tasted in a long time. It was really easy to dial in, 18g shot, lovely crema, splash of hot water and for real indulgence a splash of double cream. WOW
Absolutely delicious
I am 100% satisfied with the quality of the coffee and the respectful and caring service. I'll be back!
Great coffee you just have to try it
I was interested to try this coffee because of the way it has been processed and the flavour was indeed smooth. I didn’t get all the flavours mentioned in the description but I did pick up a slightly citrusy flavour. Would I buy this coffee again ? Probably not as I still prefer the Signature Gold Blend.
Brought this for a coffee lover and they loved it! Definitely taste the chocolate brownie notes, really nice beans!
I knew as soon as I opened this and smelt it that I would be in for a treat- and I was right. I will be ordering this again.
This is lovely coffee and has been a pleasure to start my day with. Very smooth with notes of chocolate.
