West Berkshire Roastery

Home of Berkshire Coffee - for those who care what’s in their cup Small batch speciality coffee roasters.

Nestled near the local lakes and nature reserve in Thatcham, one of the oldest continually inhabited settlements in England - our Award Winning coffee is small batch hand-roasted to order, this ensures it loses none of its original flavour and maintains a richer fuller taste for longer. Every single coffee bean reflects our commitment to a sustainable business and our direct trade partnerships with our farmers. We only use speciality grade beans, which have cleaner more distinctive flavours than cheaper commercial coffees, and are traceable to the skilled farmers and their farms across the world. These beans are carefully roasted to produce select flavours to suit a wide range of styles and tastes.

🎅🏼 Santa’s brought us a little early Christmas present!

We’ve got a new bit of kit to help make packing all your coffee orders a little easier, and we’re really looking forward to putting it to good use over the hopefully busy Christmas period!

It’s only a small thing, but it’s one of those bits of kit that makes a big difference when the orders start rolling in.

And as always, a massive thank you to everyone who has bought from us, comes back for more and continues to support what we do. We honestly wouldn’t be able to keep doing this without you, and we’re incredibly grateful. 🙌🏻

Now… let’s get back to roasting and giving this coffee vacuum a proper good workout! 😂☕️

“Step into my office”
Coffee roasting is serious business. Alex can confirm that the coffee sacks are very comfortable! 🤣 It’s alright, the owner can get away with things like this 🙃

🚧 A little road closure update… ☕️
Lower Way is currently closed for Thames Water works, which is rather inconvenient given that we’re, well… on Lower Way. 🙃

But don’t worry, we are still open and you can still get to us from the Thatcham side. If you’re coming from Newbury, you’ll just need to take a diversion around the closure.

For those who haven’t been in for a while, we are open Wednesday to Saturday:
🕣 8:30am – 1:30pm

We look forward to seeing you! 🤩☕️

After a long wait, Liam has finally arrived — our brand-new coffee roaster!

Welcome to the team, Liam. Let’s get roasting! ☕🔥

📣 PROTECT THE BEANS!

Did you know:
Freshly roasted coffee is full of CO₂. After roasting, the beans slowly release this gas in a process called degassing. Most of it happens in the first few days, but coffee continues to release small amounts of gas for weeks.

The biggest enemy of fresh coffee isn’t CO₂, it’s oxygen.

Oxygen reacts with the coffee’s oils and flavour compounds, causing flavours to fade and turning a vibrant coffee into something flat and stale.

That’s why a container like an Airscape is so useful. By pushing out excess air and reducing oxygen exposure, it helps protect the delicate flavours created during roasting while allowing the coffee to continue naturally degassing.
