Why Pure Roast

Why brands choose Pure Roast

We're the largest coffee roaster in Northern Ireland: a family business in Lisburn, roasting since 2006 and now in its third generation.

Most of the coffee we roast carries someone else's name. Retailers, airlines, coffee chains and hotels rely on us to get it right, batch after batch. We'd like to do the same for you.

Consistency at scale

Loring S70 roasters, 3,500 tonnes a year

We roast on twin Loring S70 convection roasters. Instead of tumbling beans in a hot drum, a Loring roasts them evenly in moving hot air.

Traditional drum vs Loring convection

Traditional drum

  • Beans pick up heat by tumbling against hot metal.
  • Drum contact can cause scorching and tipping.

Twin Loring S70s

  • Roasts with moving hot air, so beans are heated evenly from all sides.
  • We save every roast profile, so your coffee tastes the same batch after batch.
  • A single burner roasts the beans and burns off the smoke, with no separate afterburner.
  • Loring says the S70 gives up to 80% fuel savings and reduction of greenhouse gases in every roast, compared to conventional roasters.

Food safety

BRC AA grade roastery

BRC AA is the food safety grade that big buyers look for. Every bag we roast and pack, yours included, is made to it.

Northern Ireland: access to both the UK and EU markets
