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.
Is this coffee organic and tested for mycotoxins?
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.

Simmer Down is West Berkshire Roastery's Great Taste Award-winning decaf coffee, and this decaf coffee subscription is the simplest way to keep a fresh bag of it on hand without lifting a finger. Every order is small-batch roasted to order from single origin coffee grown on farms in Peru, then decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process — a 100% chemical-free method that leaves the finished cup 99.9% caffeine-free — while keeping the full body and flavour of a regular coffee. If you've written decaf off as a lesser cup, this subscription coffee is built to change your mind.
Not every decaf subscription is created equal. Most coffee roasters treat decaf as an afterthought — a single generic blend with little transparency about how it's made or what's actually left in the bag once the caffeine is gone. Simmer Down takes the opposite approach: a speciality coffee-grade decaf, properly sourced, properly tested, and properly award-winning. It's built for genuine coffee lovers who happen to avoid caffeine, not as a consolation prize.
Simmer Down isn't just "good for a decaf" — it's a genuine Great Taste Award winner, judged blind against caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee alike. Judges described a rich crema that, with milk, becomes "soft, round, full of malt, with a pleasingly long finish." Our customer reviews say much the same: this is delicious coffee first, and decaf second.
Every batch of our Roastery Collection, including Simmer Down, is independently lab-tested for artificial pesticides, moulds and mycotoxins. All our coffee beans are grown naturally, free from chemical intervention at the farm — so what you're subscribing to is a clean cup from bean to bag, not just a caffeine-free one.
Simmer Down is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process — the only decaffeination method verified 100% chemical-free by third-party testing. Green coffee beans are soaked in Green Coffee Extract, a solution already saturated with everything in coffee except caffeine, so caffeine alone diffuses out through osmosis while every other flavour compound stays in the bean. No solvents, no carbon dioxide, no chemicals of any kind — just water. The result is a decaffeinated coffee that's 99.9% caffeine-free, with the same flavour clarity as the original green coffee. Decaf coffee still carries the antioxidants, magnesium, potassium and niacin found in caffeinated coffee — only the caffeine itself is removed.

FAQ'S
1) How can I change the delivery schedule?
After your first order you will be prompted to create an account. From here you can login and change your delivery schedule as needed.
2) When will the coffee be dispatched?
The initial order will be dispatched within immediately (next working day).
3) Do I need an account?
After your first order, you will be prompted to create an account. Where you can swap or edit subscription details.
4) When will my coffee be delivered?
The date you set for your subscription, will be the day we process your order. Expect this to be delivered within 2-3 business days after this date. Please note if this day lands on a weekend or bank holiday, we will process it the next working day.
5) Is Simmer Down Decaf really caffeine-free?
Simmer Down is 99.9% caffeine-free. It's decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process, a 100% chemical-free method which removes almost all of the caffeine from the bean while preserving the coffee's natural flavour — so you get a proper cup, not a compromise.
6) How is Simmer Down decaffeinated?
We use the Swiss Water Process. Green coffee beans are soaked in a water-based Green Coffee Extract, which draws out caffeine through osmosis with no solvents or chemicals involved, leaving the flavour compounds intact.
7) Can I gift a decaf coffee subscription?
Yes — gift cards are available if you'd rather let the recipient choose their own subscription, and every order works just as well as a one-off coffee gift as it does a recurring plan.
8) Will I get the same coffee every time?
Yes — every delivery on this plan is Simmer Down Decaf, Peru single origin, not rotated with other coffee roasters' beans. If you'd prefer to try different coffees each month, our Seasonal Special coffee club plan changes the coffee monthly instead.
