Cast Iron Coffee Roasters Review

Cast Iron Coffee Roasters hail from West Sussex.

The vision was a family business focused squarely on producing the best quality speciality coffee possible.

The seasonal coffee that Cast Iron showcase is hand roasted in their workshop.

Their roasting philosophy is very simple; showcase the bean in the best possible light and be as true as possible to its origins.

Cast Iron will only ever supply coffee they love to drink theirselves, be that a rich chocolately espresso or a light fruity complex filter.

Delicious coffee starts at the source of the plant and is picked, washed and transported with care.

Knowing the origin of their coffee and that it is responsibly sourced is of vital importance to Cast Iron.

It often costs more this way but this ultimately means a sustainable source of production AND better-tasting coffee.

Coffee legend Dom Pulleyn is Cast Iron’s coffee roaster and has a wealth of knowledge of the specialty coffee industry.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
