Our Coffee
We take great pride in our coffee, it's all we do. From sourcing the best green coffee from across the globe to continuously improving our roasting and cupping techniques to unlock unique flavours, Coaltown coffee is quality coffee, plain and simple.
Ethically Sourced Coffee
Coaltown is and always has been, focussed on building sustainable relationships with high-quality coffee growers around the world.
We understand that the farmers are at the heart of what separates coffee from quality coffee, which is why we cut out the middleman and use a direct trade model to source our green beans. This allows us to pay our farmers fairly for the dedication and effort they put in every day, as well as forge important relationships with them.
Freshly Roasted
All of our coffee is roasted daily at our HQ in Ammanford, South West Wales. By hand roasting in small batches, our Head of Coffee is able to judge the timing and temperature to perfection, delicately drawing out complex flavour notes from raw green beans.
Probat roasters produce the best, most consistent coffee profiles in the world, which is why we have two; a 12kg and a 75kg roaster. Our GG75 roaster, Geoffery, was found in a field in Italy and took 4 years to restore. Now, he sits in pride of place in the Roastery window, showing off his custom copper cladding and roasting our large batch single origins and our most popular house blends, Candle Light No1 and Black Gold No3.
Brewed With Love
We want to make sure you get the most out of our coffee, so we provide training to all of our wholesale customers, held at our Ammanford Roastery.

"Not only does Coaltown have the romantic story set on returning a prized trade to the town of Ammanford, but they also produce something truly outstanding. Coaltowns ambitions to produce coffee at a world-class level doesn’t start and end at roasting. The attention to detail given to every aspect of the brand is what sets them apart from the crowd. Whether it’s the sourcing of the raw material, unique branding or the shared conscientious nature of all involved in the running of Coaltown - they have meticulously executed all the vital details that contribute toward the running of a successful, modern business."

"Since the first time I visited Coaltown I’ve loved everything about it. The working-class community engagement, the rustic and industrial aesthetic of HQ and the core values around quality, sustainability and passion align perfectly with ours. I believe these values and beliefs aligned with ours create the perfect blend of community and innovation to pioneer our vision of a healthier and happier community for all.
The experience has been flawless, it’s been an absolute pleasure and so insightful, from coming up to tour the roastery, to the cupping sessions and back and forth with design for our packaging, the whole journey has been extremely enjoyable and we cannot wait to work on more together in the future."

"The quality of the product is exceptional; it always has been. From their quality of service to offerings and trying new products, it made it an easy choice for us. From when we first opened to now, our coffee orders have only increased. The Team at Coaltown have never pushed us but have supported us along the way.
Coaltown has always been good at following through, always asking what they can do to help and continuously providing a good product for our business.
We’ll continue to stick with them; that will never change.”

"We want to be able to provide a premium product and a quality product. You can see how busy we are today; people appreciate the quality we provide. We’re not everyone’s cup of tea and I get that, there are multiple other places they can get coffee. But I’m confident in saying this: you won’t get a coffee like how we make one, anywhere in this area. This is down to the staff, equipment, beans and how we process our coffee.
It’s been a great relationship from start to finish. Long may it continue."
