Each and every coffee batch is tested using the power of technology to ensure the level on quality is uncompromised and consistency stays the same.
What's the story: It all began with an obsession to make the perfect brew. Spending many years working away in an old converted pig shed, Craft House Coffee’s founder, Tom, learnt more about the craft of roasting coffee though trial and error. After bringing the team together they were all curious to know what gives the coffee its characteristics? They concluded that it’s important to think, not just how, but what actually makes the perfect coffee. This obsession is what set them on the mission to better understand the coffee industry, Thus Craft House Coffee was born.
