Matt, Simon and Ben: from a Richmond office to roastery life in Surrey
Copper Coffee Roasters started in 2019 in a small Richmond office, where a recruitment business and a growing obsession with great coffee shared the same desk space. That obsession has since grown into a roastery in Cobham, Surrey, three coffee shops across south-west London and Surrey, and a range built around helping people find their way into speciality coffee without the fuss.
Their Coffee Range
The House Espresso is a good place to start - a medium-dark blend of Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador that pulls together chocolate, caramel and a gentle nuttiness into something reliably satisfying through milk or on its own. The Clubhouse Coffee covers similar ground with Ethiopian and Brazilian beans, landing on milk chocolate and marshmallow in a way that works across most brew methods. For something with a bit more drive in the morning, the Morning Blend brings Colombian and Vietnamese beans together for a darker, caffeine-forward cup with dark chocolate and a citrus edge.
The single origins are where the range opens up. The Rwanda Karengera is a washed coffee with raspberry, cherry and black tea running through it - clean and bright. The Rwanda Coproca Natural Process takes a different path: apple, liquorice, dark chocolate and caramel from smallholder farmers in Nyamasheke. The Ethiopia Limu offers chocolate, blackberry and orange from high-altitude growing. And for those who want all of that without the caffeine, the Costa Rica Decaffeinated is a medium-dark roast with pear, cherry and cacao - rich enough to hold its own.
More About Copper Coffee Roasters
The story of Copper Coffee Roasters is one of those happy accidents that turns out not to be an accident at all. In 2019, the team were running a recruitment business from a small office in Richmond when the idea of a coffee brand - built around quality, care and education - started taking shape alongside it. The pandemic, for all it took away, gave them the time and the local focus to build something real: a loyal neighbourhood customer base, a growing social media presence, and enough momentum to open a coffee shop right there at the roastery.
From those early days in SW London, Copper Coffee Roasters has settled into a roastery in Cobham and grown to three sites - the roastery café in Cobham, a spot in Pyrford serving breakfast and lunch, and a newer shop on Hampton Hill High Street, opposite Bushy Park.
The thread running through all of it is the same as it was at the start: making properly good specialty coffee accessible and easy to understand, without the fuss. They're a team that clearly enjoys helping people get more out of their cup - talking you through roast profiles, grind sizes and bag sizes with the kind of patience you'd hope for from a good local roaster - whether you're picking up your first bag of specialty beans or you've been at it for years.
