Thirty years’ experience has taught us that there’s a lot of nonsense talked about coffee. And we’re not about to add to it here. The simple fact is that if it tastes good, it is good. And, equally, if it consistently tastes good, your business will grow consistently.
It’s that simple philosophy about an often-misunderstood drink that has made Edgcumbes so successful. That and a desire to perfectly match coffees from around the world to the needs of the businesses we serve.
It’s also why we’re members of the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe, an organisation dedicated to raising the profile of the smaller growers and producers in the quality, speciality coffee industry, and why we’re such enthusiastic supporters of Fairtrade, the Soil Association and The Rainforest Alliance.
From pure coffees such as Kenya, Columbian, Java and Mexican to more esoteric blends, Edgcumbes has a range that’s broad enough to suit everyone’s taste. Our long experience has also allowed us to create coffees that are unique to us and specifically suited to different times of the day. Blends such as Special blend, the perfect morning coffee or Parisien, the ideal end to a meal.
Edgcumbes are also preferred distributors for Rombouts, and so offer all the support that comes with this famous brand, such as point of sale and promotional materials including loyalty cards, posters and menu cards.
At Edgcumbes we’ve always had a love affair with espresso, there’s something about the aroma of those dark-roasted beans, its versatility and the way it all comes together in a single performance before the customer’s eyes. So it’s not surprising we’ve also become just a little obsessed with finding perfect espresso coffees. It’s the reason why our own Arundel blend is so popular and why we select coffees from around the world such as dark roasted continental, full roasted 100% Fair Trade Columbian beans and Brazilian Santos.
And for those who’d like the support of an international brand, there’s our Rombouts range that’s respected and recognised the world over.
Because Cafetières brew slowly and gently, every last morsel of flavour is released. That means that the subtler the blend the better it works, but it also means that freshness is hugely important. And it’s why all our Cafetière coffees, from pure Columbian or Kenyan through to our own Grand Italia blend are supplied vacuum packed - so they’re always at their best.
There’s no reason why bulk-brewed coffee should be second best – provided the blend is right. Edgcumbes’ Original Blend has been created specifically to produce a long lasting, high quality, coffee ideal for brewing in volume.
Sometimes it’s just not practical to have a steady stream of freshly brewed coffee on tap, so Edgcumbes have sourced a wide and excellent range of instant coffees ideal for tabletop vending machines or general use - both own-label and from brands such as Nescafe and Kenco.
Suitable for a wide range of customers, from schools and hospitals right through to commercial cake makers, Edgcumbes’ instant coffee is always of the highest quality coffee - whether powdered, granulated or 100% Fair trade Colombian Freeze Dried.
