Black Gold No3
Coaltown CoffeeBlack Gold No.3 is a smooth, chocolate-led house espresso with notes of nutty milk chocolate and biscuit sweetness. Created as Coaltown’s original crowd-pleasing blend, it is a balanced everyday coffee that feels just as at home as a morning espresso as it does in a generously poured flat white.
The coffee that started it all
Some coffees are about chasing complexity. Black Gold No.3 is about getting the fundamentals absolutely right. This is the kind of coffee you settle into.
This was the coffee that put Coaltown on the map, and you can see why. Built as an approachable house espresso, it leans into the sort of flavours most people naturally gravitate towards. Nutty sweetness, milk chocolate richness and that familiar biscuit note that makes the whole thing feel immediately comforting rather than demanding.
The blend brings together coffees from Brazil and Honduras, roasted just far enough to develop that rich espresso character while still keeping the personality of the beans intact. The result is a cup with proper body, low fuss drinkability and the kind of balance that works whether you are pulling a straight espresso or making the first flat white of the morning.
There is something very Coaltown about it too. Grounded, honest and built for everyday rituals rather than coffee theatre. The name Black Gold is a nod to the Welsh coal heritage that shaped the brand, but in the cup, this is all warmth. Familiar, dependable and easy to come back to.
About the Roaster
The Coaltown Roastery is our HQ and the heart of what we do. All of our coffee is roasted onsite and coaltown's retail, wholesale and training operations are located within the roastery. The site is just down from the old Ammanford mines and the old coal train use to pass us twice daily, so the location could not be more fitting!
