Reads Coffee has been hand-roasting in Sherborne, Dorset since 1999, putting out award-winning espresso blends and ethically sourced single origins that punch above their weight. This is a proper specialty coffee roaster with decades of craft behind it—small enough that every batch is hand-roasted, established enough that farms and cafes trust them for the long haul. Their range covers everything from single estate Arabicas to natural decaf and a chicory-coffee blend called Mardi Gras. Everything's available on subscription, and if you're near Dorset, you'll find their beans in local spots like Hamish's Farm Shop and La Fosse at Cranborne. Reads is the kind of roaster that makes you glad you live in the UK.
