Meet Our Roasters.

Every month we blind taste 25-30 coffees from independent UK roasters, from the smallest countryside operations to London's most loved cafes, to find the two that make the cut. We showcase the people, the stories and the sourcing behind every bag – so you know exactly whose coffee is in your cup.

The Gentleman Baristas

Featured Roaster

A Roaster We Trust

This well known coffee roaster describes themselves as "well-mannered" – inspired by the old-age traditions of serving a superb cup of coffee, they take pride in every detail and get the most from every bean. With coffee shops all over London, The Gentlemen Baristas have grown to be one of the UK's biggest roasters. We love their brand, and their owner, Henry, is a lovely bloke.

That attention to craft and consistency, at a scale most independent roasters never reach, is exactly what we look for in the roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes. The Gentlemen Baristas joins a growing list of standout names in the RISE lineup.
