Assembly Coffee

We're an independent coffee roaster, founded in 2015 and based in Brixton, London.

Beginnings

In 2014, a small team of people working for established south London specialty coffee roastery Volcano Coffee Works brought together the UK’s leading independent specialty coffee shops and restaurants to share their experiences and define the ways in which a roastery could most effectively fulfil its role in the specialty coffee value chain.

After six months of conversations, there was a clear vision for a new roastery that would source the highest quality specialty coffees in the world through the lens of its customers.

The roastery had to be innovative, responsive, dynamic and consistent in how it supported its wholesale partners as the specialty movement developed.

In practice, this meant:

The roastery would only source coffees that met the needs of its customers and never for its own gratification
The offering would be informed by the continuous accumulation and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative data from across the coffee supply chain
It would commit to always challenging existing mechanisms of value creation
It would operate in ways that made it a sustainable business in the long term.
