STORY

In 2024 we made the long trip to Jaén, a mountainous region in rural northern Peru. It’s here that Velo de Novia begins its journey – grown by 20 smallholder producers farming high up in the hills. We visited three of those farms – Elias, Víctor and Máximo. Each farm looked different, each farmer had their own way of working but one thing was clear: real care for the land and a quiet commitment to doing things well. Every choice was rooted in the realities of the local climate – how to work with it, protect it and adapt to the challenges it throws up like rising temperatures and long periods of drought. We travelled with Caravela Coffee, a sourcing partner who’s deeply embedded in the community here. Their PECA programme puts agronomists on the ground to work alongside producers – not to hand down rules but to share what’s working on other farms in the area. What we saw wasn’t top-down. It was collaborative, practical and grounded in respect.

BREWING

Use fresh, ideally filtered water. Trust us, it makes a difference.
Run a shot through the machine without a capsule to clean and warm up the brew chamber.
Insert capsule and press the espresso, or short button. Our capsules have been designed to pour a little slower. This helps extract the most out of the coffee.
Now you can get creative. Our capsules taste great on their own or paired with dairy or dairy alt milk, so go ahead and enjoy the way you want!

REVIEWS

Nice words from OUR customers

The coffee tastes amazing and feels like a special treat. Plus, it’s ethically sourced too.

Roastworks decaf is delicious! Deep, sweet, chocolatey flavour. Works well even on a cheap espresso machine.

As a newbie, loved Roastworks’ kind, helpful service and great coffee. Highly recommend and will return.

FAQ’S

THINGS PEOPLE ASK US

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

Our 200g and 1kg bags are made from recyclable LDPE (plastic #4). Check with your local authority for kerbside collection or recycle at major supermarkets. Our Nespresso-compatible aluminium capsules are also fully recyclable through household recycling or local collection points.

WHAT ROAST LEVELS ARE YOUR COFFEES?

We roast most coffee to an omni profile, which means it suits all brew methods while keeping the unique flavour of each coffee. The exceptions are The Truth, Uprising and The Bold. The Truth and Uprising are roasted for espresso, so they are more developed and soluble. The Bold is roasted darker to bring out richer characteristics alongside the coffee’s flavour.

WHAT GRIND SIZE DO YOU NEED?

Grind size can be tricky as adjusting it helps you get the best extraction. We know not everyone wants to invest in a grinder or fuss with settings. So we’ve simplified options with recommended brew methods:

Filter ground – cafetiere, pour-over filter and long brewed Aeropress
Espresso ground – short brewed Aeropress, moka pot and home espresso machines
