Routes Coffee Roasters
From a 1989 Bedford Rascal at UK festivals to a Giesen roastery in Oxford — Routes roast traceable micro-lots with a regenerative sourcing model at the centre of everything they do.
Routes started in 2015, when two friends returned from Australia with a sharper appreciation for what good coffee could be and began serving it from a 1989 Bedford Rascal at festivals and events across the UK. The roastery in Oxford grew out of that touring life — same obsession, more capacity.
What sets Routes apart is their commitment to regenerative sourcing: they're the UK's first and only Certified Regenified coffee roaster, treating soil health, biodiversity, and producer livelihoods as part of the spec sheet rather than marketing copy.
Roasting happens to order on a Giesen, working through micro-lot greens with a light-to-medium, clarity-first style. The rotating menu spans single origins, blends, nano lots, and subscriptions, with current offers from Rwanda, El Salvador, and Ecuador.
Social impact
Routes treat regeneration as a sourcing principle, not a marketing line — the UK's only Certified Regenified roaster, working micro-lots from named producers.
Certified Regenified
The UK's first and only Certified Regenified coffee roaster — sourcing built around soil health, biodiversity, and farm-level regeneration.
Roast to Order
Beans roasted on a Giesen as orders come in, minimising standing stock and keeping every bag close to roast date.
Micro-lot Focus
Small, traceable lots and nano-lot releases that platform individual producers rather than averaging them into a blend.
