Reads Coffee

Established in 1999, Reads Coffee combines a rich family heritage in milling with a passion for ethically sourced coffee and tea. Our journey began in 1993 when founder Giles Read transitioned from corporate life to explore specialty coffee in the USA, eventually pioneering Pret A Manger's coffee offerings. We pride ourselves on traditional small-batch roasting of single-estate Arabica beans and crafting unique espresso blends, alongside a curated selection of loose-leaf teas. With over two decades of experience, we supply businesses and individuals across the UK, driven by customer recommendations and a commitment to quality. Our ethical practices include partnerships with organisations like the Rainforest Alliance to ensure sustainable sourcing.

Based at Limekiln Farm in Dorset, we maintain a hands-on approach to roasting while offering brewing equipment, subscriptions, and wholesale solutions. Our team's expertise spans coffee origins, roasting techniques, and brewing methods, ensuring every product meets exacting standards. Customer satisfaction remains our priority, reflected in long-term partnerships with cafes like Hamish's Farm Shop and La Fosse. We continue innovating through seasonal blends, tasting boxes, and educational resources while maintaining our core values of quality, sustainability, and community.
