Our Story
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 discovered that coffee is one big, tangled mess - dodgy practices and shady tactics all over the place. But there’s also a whole lot of amazing farmers doing it right. So, I ditched the usual suspects and set off on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees served with a generous side of transparency.
With some caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences possible. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

Liliana Chavarría (Jinotegan), Georges Duriaux (Swiss living in Nicaragua since 1978) and their son Jean-Yves Duriaux Chavarría, are conservationists, bird researchers and coffee lovers.

Customer Reviews
Amazing taste, finally I found it!!!! I’m enjoying this amazing coffee every morning .
I buy my Black Gold coffee beans from West Berkshire Roastery because not only do they produce a beautiful espresso with a complex flavour profile but also they are organically grown. Organic growing is not only good for the planet but also gives much better flavour.
I thoroughly recommend West Berkshire Roastery.
Beautiful beans! Roasted locally and on the same day they ship to you. Next day delivery is a great touch too - I’ll never be without coffee again!
These are delicious! I love that they’re roasted locally to where I live. It’s a perfect strong coffee for the morning. I have just bought my second 1kg bag of the signature gold blend + a 1kg bag of the white gold blend to sample that too for when I want a slightly less strong coffee. Thank you WBR.
Very good coffee. Love the taste.
