Collection: Eclectic Coffee Roasters

Hi there, I'm Mike.

I roast coffee.

30+ years working in international trade and development has taken me on a coffee journey around the globe and back again.

From Albania to Zambia, Austria to Zimbabwe, I’ve been drinking good, bad, and indifferent coffee, and immersing myself in its wonderful culture.  

Somewhere along the line, shopping for coffee became confusing, with many online shops offering more choices than a Scandinavian smorgasbord. Choice isn’t always good.

So I’ve kept it simple. Three 100% Arabica single origin speciality coffee choices, along with an espresso blend, based on your personal preferred roast style, choices that will change on a regular basis.

Coffee is open for all to enjoy. Coffee doesn’t care if you brew with a Chemex or Moka Pot. Coffee isn’t bothered if you’re a hipster or a punk. Coffee just makes everything better.

You are here — you’ve spent a fortune in coffee shops and want to brew yourself at home. But where do you buy coffee? The logical place to start is to Google “coffee beans” (click the link to do it for you). 

Almost 300 million results later, you’ll come to understand that it’s a huge and complex minefield populated by massive supermarkets, large-scale one-stop beverage companies selling EVERYTHING, and thousands of independent coffee shops all vying for your attention. 

You just want good beans. It shouldn’t be this hard. Too much choice often leads to bad decisions. 

And that’s why Eclectic Coffee Roasters, a nano-roastery in Country Durham, has been started.

All I do is roast coffee beans. Four roasts in three weights, direct to your door. I’ll even grind them if you want.

Eclectic is unashamedly aimed at the toe-dippers of coffee culture. I keep it simple, ethical, and environmentally friendly.
