Assembly Coffee

Assembly Coffee is an independent specialty coffee roaster founded in 2015 and based in Brixton, London. The company emerged from a series of conversations in 2014 among a small team working for the established south London specialty coffee roastery Volcano Coffee Works, who brought together leading independent specialty coffee shops and restaurants to define how a roastery could best serve the specialty coffee value chain. After six months of discussions, a clear vision formed for a new roastery that would source the highest quality specialty coffees through the lens of its customers, operate innovatively and responsively, and commit to challenging existing mechanisms of value creation while remaining sustainable in the long term. Assembly Coffee launched in April 2015 as headline sponsors of the inaugural Coffee Masters at London Coffee Festival. The roastery is guided by two core beliefs: that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that everything can always be better. It is a B-Corp certified business with a team of around 30 people. Assembly Coffee sources coffees that meet the needs of its customers, informed by continuous accumulation and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative data from across the coffee supply chain. Its offering includes a flagship range of single-origin and blended coffees, such as the Ethiopia Gatta 168 Hour Anaerobic and Guatemala Santa Irene Geisha, alongside house selections and limited-time offers. Beyond roasted coffee, Assembly Coffee sells brewing equipment and accessories, including the Orea O1 Steel brewer and Apax Lab Nano Box Set, and has introduced its first drip coffee bags, featuring a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee from the Arbegonna Smallholders in Sidama. The company also offers professional SCA training at its Brixton HQ, led by Head of Education Raquel, covering brewing, barista and sensory skills. A customer loyalty programme, The Assembly Suite, allows customers to earn points redeemable for complimentary gifts and experiences. Assembly Coffee serves a range of wholesale partners across the UK, including Four Boroughs, Omotesando Koffee, Miel, Just Between Friends, Commune at Goodhood, Bloomsyard, 26 Grains, Lumberjack, NoMad Hotel, Planque, Milk and Toklas. The roastery ships internationally, with delivery options for Europe, the USA and the rest of the world. Its online store features a blog with stories and updates, and it continues to develop new products such as cold brew concentrate created with long-term Brazilian partner Mió.

Assembly Coffee was founded in 2015 and is based in Brixton, London. Its origins trace to 2014, when a small team of people working for the 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, a clear vision emerged 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; and it would operate in ways that made it a sustainable business in the long term. In April 2015, Assembly Coffee launched as headline sponsors of the inaugural Coffee Masters at London Coffee Festival, marking the beginning of its journey. The company has since grown into a team of around 30 people and is a B-Corp certified business. It is guided by two core beliefs: that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that everything can always be better. Assembly Coffee is excited by innovation and its potential for impact, and seeks out opportunities to collaborate with anyone who shares its vision. Over the years, Assembly Coffee has developed a flagship range of coffees, including the Ethiopia Gatta 168 Hour Anaerobic and Guatemala Santa Irene Geisha, and has expanded into brewing equipment and accessories such as the Orea O1 Steel brewer and Apax Lab Nano Box Set. It has also introduced new product formats, including its first drip coffee bags featuring a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee from the Arbegonna Smallholders in Sidama, and a cold brew concentrate created with long-term Brazilian partner Mió. The company offers professional SCA training at its Brixton HQ, led by Head of Education Raquel, and operates a customer loyalty programme called The Assembly Suite. Assembly Coffee serves a wide range of wholesale partners across the UK and ships internationally.
