OUR STORY

Here at Coffeelink, we are passionate coffee drinkers and mad about our 100% Arabica hand roasted coffees, consisting of over 27 single origins.

We are a privately owned family business, with a real passion for good quality coffee. So much so, we ensure our hand roasted single origin coffees are expertly slowly roasted to our own very precise and exacting standard, (or even our customer’s too)!

Since coffeelink was born our passion and mission has been very simple.

To share the joy of trying as many different origin coffees as possible. To learn about our customer's coffee palate on what ‘really’ good quality coffee should ‘truly’ taste like! We want everyone to be able to enjoy our coffee, whether it is for home, office or trade use!

Rebecca & Azzouz

Azzouz & Rebecca, head the Coffeelink team

It all started with a dream and a smile. Azzouz & Rebecca met on a sunny day in London over a cup of coffee back in 2003 and created Coffeelink then and there. Now with over 100 colleagues and thousands of customers contributing to Coffeelink in various ways, it is a great blend of people and coffees.

Coffeelink was officially born on the 25th of August 2005. It was a journey similar to the journey of coffee stretching all the way to Africa, just in Azzouz's case Morocco instead of Ethiopia.

Azzouz & Rebecca continue to dream what Coffeelink could be in the future. Taking pride in being ethical and environmentally conscious and will carry on working hard to build Coffeelink into a more beautiful company.

Our first Roast

Where we started

To think it all started in a little experimental roast with a handful of coffee beans, in our humble family kitchen way back in 2005. Since that time our passion for really good coffee has been instrumental in driving the Coffeelink brand though of course, not without a couple of near misses with our new Toper commercial gas roaster when we did our first ever roast!
