Espresso Coffees

We feel we hold a special place in the history of espresso coffee in the UK. We roasted our first espresso coffee back in 1954, right during the ‘frothy coffee’ revolution. We introduced espresso coffee to the UK, and we have been perfecting our craft ever since.

Our commitment to quality remains unwavering, and we have embraced modern roasting techniques and packaging methods. Notably, our original espresso blend, Espresso Reale, is still part of our offerings, alongside an impressive range of 19 different espresso coffees—the largest selection from any UK manufacturer.

You will find all these blends in some of the most famous restaurants in the UK.

Mexican Mountain Water Decaffeinated Coffee ( Espresso Roast )

£8.08

Espresso Roast

Processed in the innovative Descamex plant in Mexico, this superb coffee is gently decaffeinated by washing with pure, glacier water from Mexico's highest mountain, Pico de Orizaba. The raw coffee beans are immersed and washed in tanks which removes almost all the caffeine, and are then slowly dried over a period of four hours. This chemical-free method produces a coffee that is richly flavoured, full-bodied and 99.9% caffeine free and is, in our opinion, the best decaffeinated coffee we’ve ever tried.

Cupping notes: dark chocolate; toffee apple; hint of liquorice
