At risk of sounding like a coffee snob, I understand supermarket beans can get the caffeine-boosting job done on a budget. But coffee lovers know nothing beats the bold flavor of an independent, fresh local roast. Usually, getting beans this good means visiting a speciality café in person to make the most of the fresh flavour – but Brighton based Small Batch Coffee Roasters has the solution as it delivers that café quality straight to our doorsteps.
The independent specialist roasts its beans locally and, alongside offering them at their cafes in store, ships them online, ensuring maximum freshness. These blends are vibrant, full of flavor, and, as they state, ‘miles away from anything sitting on a supermarket shelf for month’.
What’s more is, for those looking to seriously upgrade their morning brew, the brand is offering an introductory offer for new customers. Using the discount code WELCOME15 at checkout bags 15% off the first order.

For example, its Papua New Guinea Paradise Mountain coffee, featuring notes of citrus, blackcurrant and caramel (typically £27 for a 500g bag), will be dropped to £22.95. Meanwhile, its £39 1kg bag of Throwback beans — with flavours of dark chocolate, citrus fruit and hazelnut — will be reduced to £33.15.
For anyone new to Small Batch Coffee Roasters, this Brighton and Hove staple has been ‘pioneering’ the UK’s specialty coffee scene since 2006. With an ethos that incredible coffee shouldn’t be a luxury, the brand has built itself a stellar reputation thanks to its cafes and quality coffees. It has even bagged numerous accolades at prestigious events like the Great Taste Awards and the European Coffee Awards.

Shoppers who apply the discount code WELCOME15 at checkout can get 15% off their first order. This applies to the individual products, such as its Goldstone blend.
Catering to a range of tastebuds, the brand offers an extensive selection of coffee options, including decaf varieties. Plus, for those who don’t have a fancy, barista-style coffee machine, it has capsules for owners of pod machines.
Additionally, it provides beans ground specifically for various brewing methods, from stovetop to filter to cafetière. Prices begin at £7, but for those determined to keep their coffee cup perpetually full, Small Batch Coffee Roasters offers a subscription service from £11.90 monthly, delivering freshly roasted single origin beans carefully chosen by their expert team.
It promises: “A new coffee from a new corner of the world, every single month.” While the discount code doesn’t apply to subscriptions, the company is currently offering 20% off for first-time subscribers.

Small Batch Coffee Roasters also emphasises that every bag “leaves our Brighton roastery at peak freshness, so you’re always getting coffee at its absolute best”.
Naturally, given that fresh (quality) espresso is practically essential for countless people each morning, this isn’t the sole independent coffee shop boasting a roastery and made-to-order beans. In south Wales, Hard Lines is a beloved coffee brand that is available both in-store and online, with its subscription package also beginning at £11.50.
For those who’ve sampled and adored Bristol-born Clifton Coffee at their neighbourhood café, it’s equally available online with subscriptions starting from £10.

Small Batch Coffee Roasters stocks various other products designed to help caffeine enthusiasts maximise their brewing experience, including chocolate pairing sets which combine offerings such as its Throwback coffee with honeycomb chocolate for an extraordinary flavour explosion.
Households with a decaf drinker in the family can also take advantage of The Goldstone Blend and Decaf Duo, priced at £24.25. It’s worth bearing in mind that bundles, machines and certain selected products are unfortunately not eligible for the WELCOME15 code, so factor that in before placing your order.
Loyal customers of Small Batch Coffee Roasters have been full of praise, with one shopper on TrustPilot describing the coffee as ‘Absolutely magnificent’. Their glowing five-star review read: “Best quality beans on the south coast AND excellent customer service.”

However, for some customers the delivery process wasn’t quite as smooth as the coffee itself, with one shopper reporting frustrating delays in receiving their parcel. They noted: “Just to let you know that the delivery of my order was really slow. Ordered on 3rd. Dispatched on 6th. But arrived only on 13th. Hope that this will not be the pattern with my monthly order. At least I already know the coffee will be great!”
Not everyone shared this experience, however, with one customer expressing their delight at the speedy service from Small Batch Coffee : “Quick delivery and great coffee = win/win.”
