Welcome to Pure Roast Coffee

We are the largest coffee roaster in Northern Ireland: a third-generation family roastery in Lisburn, roasting since 2006. Most of what we roast goes out under other people's names, from airlines and national restaurant chains to independent coffee shops. Here's how we can do the same for you.

What we make

Five ways to put your name on great coffee

  • Whole bean coffee, roasted to your specification
  • Roast and ground for filter, cafetière and espresso
  • ESE coffee pods: we're the only ESE pod producer in Ireland
  • Senseo®-compatible pods
  • Coffee bags, brewed like a tea bag

All in foodservice, wholesale and retail packs.

How private label works

Food safety you can sell on

BRC AA grade roastery

Our roastery holds BRC AA grade food safety accreditation. It gives you, and the buyers you sell to, assurance on food safety, quality and how your coffee is made.

Loring roasters at the Pure Roast Coffee roastery

Consistency, batch after batch

Twin Loring roasters

Loring's closed-loop control holds temperature, airflow and roast profile steady, so your coffee tastes the same order after order. Convection roasting also uses less energy and cuts emissions.

As the largest coffee roaster in Northern Ireland, with 3,500 tonnes a year of capacity, we can take a new brand's first run and keep up as it grows.

Great Taste 3-star, 2024

Award-winning and family-run

Our Valentia blend won a 3-star Great Taste Award in 2024, the top rating. We're a third-generation family business that thinks long term about the brands we roast for.

About us

Two ways to start

You can put your name on a coffee we already roast, or we'll develop a blend for you.

Your brand on our blends

The quicker route. Start with one of our own coffees — such as Valentia, our 3-star Great Taste Award winner in 2024 — roasted, packed and supplied under your label.

Is private label right for you?

Private label works best when you want a regular supply of coffee under your own name.

A good fit if

You run a café, a restaurant group, a retail business or a new coffee brand, and you want consistent, long-term supply under your own label.

Not the best fit if

You're after a one-off gift, or only a very small quantity. In that case, you're better off with our 250g bags.

Questions

Private label questions

What can you produce under my brand?

Whole bean coffee, roast and ground coffee, ESE espresso pods, Senseo®-compatible pods and string-and-tag coffee bags, in foodservice, wholesale and retail packs.

What's the difference between white label and bespoke?

White label puts your brand on one of our existing coffees, which is the quickest route to market. Bespoke means we develop a coffee just for you, or match one you already sell.

Can you create a blend just for us?

Yes. We can develop a blend and roast profile for your brand, or you can put your name on one of our coffees, such as Valentia, a 3-star Great Taste winner in 2024.

Do you make ESE pods?

Yes. We are the only ESE pod producer in Ireland, and we also make Senseo®-compatible soft pods.

Can we taste samples first?

Yes. We prepare samples so you can taste and approve the coffee before we go into production.

What are your minimum orders and prices?

They depend on the coffee, format, packaging and volume. Tell us what you have in mind using the form below and we'll come back to you with minimums, lead times and a quote.

Where do you supply?

We roast and pack in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, and supply brands across Europe and beyond, including Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Azerbaijan, China, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Can you supply certified coffee?

Yes. We can supply Organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified coffee.

Is your packaging recyclable?

We pack in all materials, including fully recyclable and fully compostable options.
