Cornish Coffee: Bold, Coastal Brews from Cornwall
Cornwall isn’t just a land of rugged coastlines, charming fishing villages, and pasties—it’s also home to some of the finest coffee craftsmanship in the UK. At Capybara Coffee, we’re proud to present our Cornish Coffee collection: a range of bold, full-bodied blends and smooth single origins, all roasted with care right on the Cornish coast.
If you’re searching for artisan coffee with soul, flavour, and sustainable values, Cornish Coffee is more than just a brew—it’s a coastal experience in a cup.
What Makes Cornish Coffee Special?
The secret behind Cornish Coffee lies in its dedication to quality, locality, and sustainability. We’ve partnered with expert Cornish roasters who source green beans ethically from farms across the globe and then roast them locally using methods that bring out the best in every origin.
Here’s why Cornish Coffee stands out from the crowd:
- Hand-roasted in Cornwall for peak freshness
- Sustainably sourced from ethical farms
- Crafted blends and single origins to suit every brewing style
- Eco-friendly packaging, right down to the labels
When you choose Cornish Coffee, you’re supporting local Cornish businesses, global fair-trade practices, and your own morning routine—all at once.
Coastal Character in Every Cup
Cornwall’s unique personality is reflected in every roast. Imagine the salty breeze, the rolling waves, and the warmth of a beach café after a surf. That’s the inspiration behind each bag of Cornish Coffee.
Here are some highlights from the range:
1. The Harbour Roast – Signature Blend
A well-balanced medium roast with chocolatey notes and a hint of spice. Perfect for a smooth morning coffee with milk or as a rich espresso.
2. Storm Coast Dark Roast
Bold and smoky with deep caramel undertones. A favourite among dark roast lovers and excellent for cafetières or moka pots.
3. Sunrise Single Origin (Ethiopia)
Bright, fruity, and floral with a light body—ideal for V60s and filter brews. Sunshine in a cup.
4. Seafarer’s Espresso
Designed for punchy espresso shots and flat whites. Syrupy body, low acidity, and a long, satisfying finish.
Each product is available in whole bean or ground options to suit your brewing setup—whether that’s a high-end espresso machine or your trusty French press.
