Full Court Press is a Bristol café and roastery that began by buying beans from specialty roasters around the world before launching its own roasting operation. Head roaster Fency, a qualified Q Grader with SCA Roasting and Green Coffee Professional credentials, roasts on a Stronghold S7 Pro, a fully electric machine paired with an afterburner and six stage filtration system. The roastery runs on renewable electricity. In their first year of roasting they worked through 69 different coffees across 18 origins. Transparency is built into the model: they publish purchase prices and producer payments where possible. Their subscription pairs a bag of their own roast with one from an international guest roaster, drawing from names like Tim Wendelboe, Gardelli, and Friedhats.
