Off-Trend Espresso

A roast that unashamedly sticks to what classic darker espresso was all about – but this time it actually tastes good. A hefty, syrupy textured body, with notes of bitter dark chocolate, black treacle, and digestive biscuits in the finish. Subscribe & Save.

No fads, no trends, just a traditionally delicious, accessible coffee.

Off-Trend takes the same components as Heavy Bag and pushes them darker, using a more traditional roast profile to deliver a bold, full-bodied cup with real weight and texture. Thick, comforting, and unapologetically classic.

We love it as an after-dinner espresso or in larger milk-based drinks, where its structure really comes through.

Cosagual

COSAGUAL is a cooperative made up of 148 smallholder coffee producers in Honduras. The members farm small, shaded plots, with coffee growing alongside Inga trees, fruit, and timber crops. This kind of diversification is common across the cooperative and helps protect the land while supporting steady, healthy yields.

Cherries are picked only when ripe and delivered to the cooperative wet mill the same day. Processing is handled centrally, allowing for consistency while still reflecting the work done at farm level. COSAGUAL is both Fairtrade and USDA Organic certified, but more importantly, it operates with a clear focus on long-term viability—supporting farming families, encouraging equal participation, and maintaining the health of the surrounding environment.

We’ve been buying coffee from COSAGUAL for many years. From early on, it was clear that quality here comes from careful, considered work rather than shortcuts or scale. That approach aligns closely with how we think about roasting and sourcing.

The coffees we buy from the cooperative are typically balanced and composed, with enough clarity and structure to work well both on their own and as part of a blend. It’s the kind of consistency that comes from experience, shared standards, and a cooperative that knows exactly what it’s trying to achieve.

Aprocassi  

APROCASSI was formed out of necessity. In the late 1990s, farming families in San Ignacio, Cajamarca, were faced with the prospect of large-scale mining in the region, a direct threat to both the land and the future of local agriculture. With the support of the Catholic church, producers began to organise around a different idea: building a sustainable local economy rooted in organic farming.

This collective effort led to the founding of APROCASSI in 2000, and its transition into a formal cooperative a decade later. From the outset, the focus was on protecting the environment while creating a viable path forward for smallholder producers.

Today, APROCASSI represents farmers across the San Ignacio area who are committed to organic production, careful processing, and long-term decision-making. Alongside coffee, the cooperative invests in social and environmental projects that support farming families, protect the surrounding landscape, and strengthen the wider community.
