Flat Cap Blend

Colombia & Peru | Signature Blend

The coffee that started it all.

Flat Cap Blend is our signature coffee and long-standing bestseller – a beautifully smooth, rich and naturally sweet blend created around the flavours we love most in coffee.

Hand-crafted by Mark, our head roaster, it brings together carefully selected Colombian and Peruvian speciality coffees, chosen to create the distinctive character that has made Flat Cap Blend a favourite at our Wiltshire roastery.

The individual coffees within the blend can change as harvests and seasons move on, allowing us to select coffees that are tasting at their best while maintaining the flavour profile at the heart of Flat Cap Blend. What remains constant is its South American foundation, its balance and the rich, comforting character we want in every cup.

We medium roast the blend to bring out its natural sweetness and body, creating layers of chocolate and caramel with a soft vanilla-like sweetness and a smooth, creamy finish.

It's particularly at home as espresso. The blend's sweetness and body produce a rich, balanced shot, while its chocolate and caramel character carries beautifully through milk – exactly the qualities we want in a great flat white, cappuccino or latte.

Smooth, comforting and full of character, Flat Cap Blend has been with us from the beginning and remains our best-selling coffee today.

Recommended Brew Methods

Espresso ★★★★★
This is where Flat Cap Blend really shines. Expect a smooth, full-bodied espresso with rich chocolate and caramel sweetness, a creamy mouthfeel and a beautifully balanced finish.

Flat White / Cappuccino / Latte ★★★★★
Made for milk. The blend's chocolate, caramel and vanilla-like sweetness carry beautifully through milk, producing the rich, creamy and naturally sweet cup that has made Flat Cap Blend such a firm favourite.

AeroPress ★★★★★
A brilliant choice for a smooth, full-flavoured brew. AeroPress brings together the blend's sweetness and body while retaining plenty of clarity and balance.

Cafetière ★★★★☆
Perfect if you enjoy a richer, fuller cup. The immersion brew emphasises Flat Cap Blend's chocolate character, creamy body and lingering caramel sweetness.

V60 / Pour Over ★★★★☆
A cleaner way to experience the blend, bringing out more of its sweetness and balance while producing a lighter-bodied cup than espresso or immersion brewing.

Our pick: Flat White
It had to be. Rich espresso, silky milk and the blend's chocolate, caramel and vanilla sweetness come together in the drink that gave us our name.

We always recommend buying whole bean coffee as this is the best for freshness. We are however happy to grind our coffee to your specification if this is how you would prefer it. Please note, we only supply ground coffee in 227g and 500g bags. 

As a small independent roastery, we occasionally adjust prices to reflect rising costs and to continue roasting responsibly. Existing subscriptions are unaffected.
