Tried the Swiss Water Decaf and honestly it’s one of the best decaf coffees I’ve had. Really smooth, sweet and butterscotch-like with milk. Definitely recommend getting whole beans and grinding fresh... See more

I've been buying my coffee from AR for a number of years. Fantastic coffee (of course) ! Always fresh, delivered promptly (often the day after ordering it!) paired with equally fabulous service both in their shops and online. I had a query with my subscription, it was resolved by Olivia immediately and with a smile! Looking for great coffee and great staff? Look no further.

I regularly order coffee from Artisan Roast for home delivery, which always arrives recently roasted and well packaged. There's a good and varied selection of coffee types available, along with roasting details and suggestions for suitable brewing methods. Customer service is excellent: when I've had a query about a particular coffee, they've answered it quickly.

Fantastic Artisan Coffee Roasters! 5*****

I've been using AR for almost 2 years now for a subscription of Janzsoon 1kg coffee. There have been a number of occasions i have ordered the coffee, it was posted the next day and delivered the day after! Always freshly roasted and super tasty - couldn't recommend any more. Keep up the great work

I've been using artisan roast for monthly coffee delivery for the past couple of years. The quality of the coffee is great and, for my sage machine at least, is the perfect grind (compared to other pre-ground coffee from Edinburgh companies). Price is very reasonable for the quality and deliver has always been on time

Awful Service

Terrible service. Overpriced and rubbish atmosphere. Feels very contrived and definitely a 'Non-Leith' vibe.

Brilliant coffee supplier

We have used this company to supply coffee beans for a long time now. They have a great range and their Janszoon blend makes a great flat white.

Beans are always freshly roasted and have a "roasted on" date on the bag.

They consistently deliver a good service, even during lockdown.

Generally good coffee

Generally good coffee. I brew filter and I think some of the single origins don't shine in that method. But the Kenyans are easily some of the best I've had.

Dear Ben,

Thanks for taking the time to post a review and we really appreciate your comments. We're big fans of bright and bold Kenyan coffee so its great to hear you like them.

Thanks too for the comments on our single origins. Some of our roast levels are designed to cross over towards stove top and espresso and it may be that you tried one of these these. If ever you need any advice on choosing a coffee please drop us an email and we'd be delighted to help.

Will never reply. Do not order from them.

Ordered a coffee subscription for my partner and not only does the link not work for him to see his gift, but no one in any team is replying to me about it. The subscription was a year for over £100 so it’s not a small amount of money and it’s been over a week now with no reply. I would cancel my order but I don’t think they’d even reply to refund me.

great coffee

I love coffee - and since drinking a cup from this company (in a cafe in Edinburgh) I've ordered their coffee online for years.
I especially love the Cobblestone blend.
