The New Black Gold
Black Gold is the coffee that started everything. Our first blend, this seasonal espresso was created to be an approachable crowd-pleaser, and it soon became the foundation of everything we do at the Roastery.
We serve Black Gold daily at our Espresso Bar alongside our other sensational coffee offerings. It’s favoured by many and part of people’s daily routines, and we couldn’t be more proud of it. In 2014, it won two gold stars in the UK Great Taste Awards.
Black Gold is hand-roasted to just beyond first crack to give it a rich espresso zing while still retaining the natural flavours gained at origin. Its rich chocolate and biscuit base make it very drinkable. It’s a post-blended coffee, currently made up of Fazenda de Mata, Finca Serbia and Roberto Ortiz.

Grind Information
Please note, our espresso grind is suitable for most home coffee machines. If you have a commercial grade coffee machine, E.g. Linea Mini, then please add an order note in your basket, requesting commercial espresso grind.
We would always recommend that you use a grinder at home in order to achieve the grind suitable for your particular brewing equipment, but we appreciate that this is not always possible, so we do offer our coffee as ground. We offer grind options that we think would achieve the best results from the numerous variations of machines and equipment that are available to consumers, but we cannot guarantee that our ground options will work with every unique set up.
