WHY DID WE START LIMITED COFFEE?

WHY DID WE START LIMITED COFFEE?

Picture this, it's early 2023, you’re coming to the end of that delicious bag of Kenyan coffee from your local roaster. It was good, right? Of course it was, it's always good. But something is telling you that there must be more, variety is the spice of life, they say, so maybe it's time to branch out, try something new? 

So you’re searching for something new to try, but coming up blank. It's not like there's not enough choice, if anything there’s too much of it. So many roasters to choose from and they all look great, but how do you choose? Bigger brand or local hero? Bourbon or Typica? Africa or Americas? Honestly, the options are endless! 

Well fear not, you’ve found us! You can kiss goodbye to the headache of endless searching, we’re here for you. Paul and Dave. Lovers of coffee. Not such big fans of uncertainty. Limited Coffee Co was born from this exact struggle, we wanted to solve a problem that affected us, selfish I know. Except not so much, it was such a great idea that we had to share it with you too. 

We’re here to take you on a journey of discovery - our mission is to sort the beans from the chaff, we want you to be comfortable in picking any of the coffees we’ve chosen for you, knowing you’re going to have a good time. 

We’ve been busy scouring the country to find you the best coffee we can, from the best roasters the UK has to offer. Our jam is simplifying the process of discovering UK coffees. We’ll be featuring some of the big names you might already be familiar with, but also some of the smaller independents you may have never found otherwise. Either way, I can promise you this, there are some bangers being roasted out there right now and they've got your name all over them.

So here's how it works, you like to have a choice? Cool, us too. But in true Limited Coffee fashion, we’ve made it easy for you. We’ve boiled it down to five categories, simple. Washed, natural, espresso, a decaf and something fancy. Always wholebean, always a kilo, this means we can always ship them to you free of charge too! We’ll be changing out the coffees in the store regularly, they can’t last forever, but that's a good thing, it means there will be something new for you to try the next time you’re back. After all, discovery is the name of the game!

But what if you don't like choice? That's ok too, life can be stressful enough already and coffee is supposed to be our sanctuary, don't worry friend, we’ve got you. We offer a subscription too, a different coffee every month, exclusively for our subscribers. So sit back and relax, we’ll do the hard work for you, we’re good like that.

So there it is, our beginning. We look forward to sharing more with you, the great coffees and the awesome people who produce it, afterall, we’re friends now right? 

Paul and Dave xx
