Why Choose Our Coffee?

Better coffee starts long before it reaches your cup.


At Scratch Shot, we only use specialty-grade coffees sourced from some of the world's finest growing regions. Every coffee is selected for exceptional flavour before being roasted fresh in the UK.

What is Specialty Coffee?

Most coffee sold in supermarkets is commodity coffee.

Specialty coffee is different.

To be classified as specialty, coffee must score 80 points or more out of 100 when assessed by certified coffee professionals. That means fewer defects, better farming practices and significantly higher cup quality.

Only around 5–10% of the world's coffee reaches specialty grade.

Sourced with care

Great coffee begins at origin.

We work with experienced sourcing partners who build long-term relationships with producers around the world, paying premiums for quality and supporting more sustainable coffee farming.

Every coffee is selected because it tastes exceptional.

Roasted fresh to order in the UK

Coffee is at its best when it's fresh.

Every order is roasted in small batches here in the UK before being packed and dispatched, helping preserve the sweetness, aroma and complexity that make specialty coffee so rewarding.

Unlike supermarket coffee, our beans don't spend months sitting in warehouses before reaching your kitchen.

Every coffee tells a story

One of the joys of specialty coffee is that no two coffees are the same.

That's why every Scratch Shot coffee includes information about:

  • Origin
  • Producer
  • Variety
  • Processing method
  • Roast profile
  • Tasting notes

So you know exactly what you're drinking.

  • Freshly ground for the way you brew

    Whether you use an espresso machine, cafetière, AeroPress or filter brewer, we'll grind your coffee specifically for your chosen brewing method.

    Or choose whole beans for the freshest possible experience.

  • Roasted with purpose

    Our coffees are roasted to bring out the characteristics that make each origin unique.

    Rather than chasing dark, smoky flavours, we focus on balance, sweetness and clarity, letting the coffee speak for itself.

  • Quality in every detail

    Exceptional coffee deserves exceptional presentation.

    From our carefully selected packaging to roast dates printed on every bag, every detail is designed to help you enjoy coffee at its very best.
