Adam started his coffee career as a barista trainer, then worked in sales and account management for some of the UK’s largest roasteries. He began learning to roast coffee in his shed before taking the leap and starting Northside.
Arran worked as a barista trainer, regularly competing and coaching in the UK Barista Championships. He went on to manage a UK-wide team of barista trainers before moving into coffee buying for one of the UK’s largest roasteries.
Together, we’ve built up years of experience in sourcing, roasting and supplying specialty coffee for people to enjoy at home or serve in their business.
Our category colours help you explore espresso blends, Classic Single Origin, Sweet & Funky, Out of the Ordinary and decaf. Start with what you enjoy and take it from there.
Choosing beans, finding the right grind or getting more from your equipment—we’re here to help. The coffee finder is a useful place to start.
Alongside roasting, Northside supports cafés with equipment, servicing and barista training.
