Our Mission

Our mission is to make speciality coffee accessible for ALL. Whether you’re at the start of your coffee journey or are coffee obsessed (like us) then we’re here to help you on your journey to making the perfect cup of coffee, tailored to your unique preferences.

Recognising the diverse tastes of coffee enthusiasts, Jon
and Vip (Bean founders) are dedicated to crafting exceptional coffee that brims with flavour, regardless of your preferred brewing method.

Through our extensive travels to coffee farms worldwide and
our enduring relationships with farmers and trusted import partners, we have embraced the responsibility of enhancing the coffee industry.

Where It Began

Bean Coffee stands as an integral part of North West’s coffee community.

Our legacy dates back to 2008, establishing us as one of Liverpool’s oldest independent coffee companies. We expanded into the bustling business district and beyond, making a mark in Greater Manchester. You might have visited us in one of our coffee shops across the North West or we may be lucky enough to be coming to a high street near you soon.

In 2015, we took a significant step by establishing our own roastery within the historic Brunswick Dock, a location that continues to be the heart of our operations to this day.

The Latest

In addition to roasting and brewing in our own stores, we collaborate with customers, partners and charities, going above and beyond to surpass their expectations through our placemaking initiatives and engaging events. 

We also foster meaningful wholesale relationships, collaborating closely with like-minded businesses. As coffee shop operators ourselves, we understand wholesale needs and offer a one-stop shop for all requirements, whether you’re a new store needing in-depth help, or just looking for a new supplier. 

Our wholesale support comes in the form of staff training,
audits, equipment, servicing & maintenance, and along with our
award-winning coffee, we can provide the best-partnered products (syrups, alternative milk, etc.) from local businesses that share our company ethos and values.

Our Coffee

What distinguishes us is our meticulous approach to selecting and roasting specialty coffees.  

Our passion for coffee comes from our love for the way it’s made, the people who grow it and the incredible pride and care they take when nurturing every single coffee plant and preparing each and every bean.

We roast a range of speciality coffee that’s available during visits to any of our  stores and to purchase online, including many single origins and our signature Bean Blend – a number of which have won Great Taste Awards that we’re really proud of.

 

Coffee (Supply) Chain

From visits to coffee farms across the globe and the close relationships we hold dearly with farmers, washing stations and trusted import partners, we have embraced our responsibility to help make the coffee industry better. Starting by knowing exactly where our beans come from, who is growing them and who’s handling it between the farm and us.

 Understanding this chain is the key to ensuring a sustainable future for coffee-growing communities, and the ability to continually improve the quality of coffee and quality of life for the coffee farmers and their communities. 

Closer to home, we do our best to build meaningful
partnerships that support our local community.

We are immensely proud of the Great Taste Awards bestowed upon several of our creations, the multiple 1- and 2-Star Awards testament to our dedication to sourcing the best beans, as well as our refinement of small-scale roasting to achieve a more nuanced flavour profile.

Our Charity Partnership

Since 2022, we have been working with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital with our limited edition “Oli’s Blend”. We’ve raised over £10,000 for the charity and continue to collaborate with them to raise funds, with £5 from every purchase of Oli’s Blend coffee donated to the important charity work that they do.
