Foundry No.9 roasts small-batch coffee on restored 1950s drum roasters, inside the shell of an old steelworks.
We kept the exposed brick, the steel beams, and the machines that used to forge tools. Now they roast coffee, one 12kg batch at a time.
Every batch is logged, cupped, and dated — because a roastery without a paper trail is just guessing.
"A drum roaster doesn't lie to you. You either understand the bean or you burn it."
Head Roaster — nine years running the same 1958 Probat drum, batch after batch.
"Best cold brew in the city, hands down. The space alone is worth the visit."
— Ollie Grant"You can taste the difference direct trade makes. Every batch is dated and it shows."
— Priya Nair"Industrial without trying too hard. Just good coffee in a beautiful old shell."
