About Us

Back Yard Coffee

Back Yard Coffee is an independent coffee roastery based in Goddards Green, Sussex.

We’re a small, family-run team focused on one thing — roasting coffee that people genuinely enjoy drinking. No fuss, no overcomplication — just consistently great coffee.

Our approach

We roast in small batches using a fully electric 15kg Giesen W15E roaster, allowing us to focus on clarity, balance, and consistency in every batch.

We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact wherever we can — from electric roasting and delivery (including our electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz) to using fully recyclable packaging and working towards compostable solutions.

Our coffees

We care deeply about where our coffee comes from and who we work with.

We’ve been sourcing coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda since 2019, building long-term relationships with producers and communities in the region. Visiting origin and seeing the impact first-hand is a big part of how we choose the coffees we work with.

Our Brazilian coffees come from family-run farms that are leading the way in traceability and sustainable production. Through our partners, we also support reforestation projects — with trees planted in the Amazon for every sack purchased.

Blends & roasting

By combining coffees we trust and understand, we’ve developed a range that works across all brew methods.

Our house blend brings together structure, sweetness, and balance — designed to be just as good in espresso as it is in filter.

What we’re about

At its core, Back Yard Coffee is about working with people we respect, sourcing coffees we believe in, and roasting them in a way that brings out their best.

The goal is simple: to create coffee you look forward to drinking every day.
