Welcome to WBR
I’m Alex, and what started in 2014 with a single coffee van (and a dream) has now become West Berkshire Roastery - complete with two coffee roasters and a Labrador who thinks he’s the CEO.
Along the way, I uncovered some truths: coffee is one of the planet’s most sprayed crop. Pesticides? Chemicals? Absolutely everywhere. So, I ditched the usual beans and went on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees that don’t come with a side of artificial pesticides.
With a bit of Berkshire flair and caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences you’ll ever sip. I hope you’ll agree. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

I enjoy getting up and having a large espresso every morning but since I have ordered your dark and medium roast the experience has heightened even more. The flavours are ripe and fresh and the crema is beautiful. It pours like liquid gold as I watch my Sage Bambino prepare my morning ritual. Thank you for such a great product I can not fault it. Awesome!
Love it! Makes a great espresso, once dialled in I'm getting 36g in around 30 seconds consistently. Lovely crema, well balanced flavour... Happy days!
Fast delivery as usual ! I treated these beans as Medium to light roast with a slightly courser grind in a Sage grinder and expresso machine - quite easy to dial in. Great result and a lovely taste. Still working on my latte art - 2 months in !
I’m now hooked on this coffee after this taster pack - it’s a great way to try a selection of their range and a very generous size! I love the artwork on the bag too!
Came across this coffee on Google as I was searching for mycotoxins free organic coffee and thought I’d give them a try. I went for the signature roast based on the amount of reviews and awards the have won. When I pulled my first shot of espresso I didn’t really like the taste. I realised this was because the beans were too fresh and so they weren’t dialled in yet; as time went on the taste began to get better and better. After about 1.5-2 weeks of the roast date (and proper dialling in) I can confidently say this is one of the best coffees I have ever had! I have learnt that fresh beans give off CO2 gas and the beans need to rest for a small period before they can be used. I will definitely be using WBR as my go to coffee and will be ordering regularly. I’m using the sage barista pro, grind settings are inner burr: 4, outer set to 6 / 7 depending on how you like it and extraction time is 25-30 seconds for a 1:2 ratio. I get perfect golden crema which is foamy and a full body taste profile with this setup. I will be experimenting with 1:3 ratio too. I would highly recommend WBR and will be trying out their other roasts
Finally a great tasting clean coffee that is also ethical & sustainable! I’ve been trying different brands for months and now I can stop searching as I’ve found a clear winner!
Having tried nearly all the organic coffee beans available online in the UK I must say Signature Gold is by far the most satisfying cup of coffee one can make at home either as a straight black or espresso
Top coffee & quick service. Don’t put money in the pockets of the below par supermarket brands. Buy from these guys and support a local independant business
This Christmas yeti coffee is delicious savouring my last few beans I have been brewing it in a Vietnamese phone coffee filter which my daughter brought me back from her time there. The coffee is rich of chocolate and sweet of toffee notes simply delicious.
What I love about these Black Gold beans is that they were easy to dial in (c4.5 on my Varia VS3) and they have supported a great deal of experimentation with pressure profiling (with my Cafelat Robot and Bookoo EM/Scale). I am getting all of the published flavour profiles and wonderful finishes. I can understand why these beans are a favourite with WBR customers. The ordering process through the roaster was easy and efficient.
A very nice coffee in many ways. Tastes and smells great! I’ll definitely be buying again.
So glad I’ve found Black Gold from WBR. I set my machine to 2 x bean strength double espresso with 100ml milk foam
Sorry.... I drunk it
Having had my caffeine intake influenced by Melbourne (coffee capital of the world), I wanted to find something as similar as I could to my favourite beans there, and this was the first that did it for me! Congrats
I was looking for an affordable coffee, free from mould and mycotoxins, easy to order, nice looking packaging (not massively important, but a box ticked none the less) that tastes damn good. This ticked every box and I’m one happy bunny every morning. I use a caffetier to brew and an MCT keto creamer from WillPowders. I quite often talk about how much I look forward to my morning coffee when I get into bed 😂. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
