I bought a Ratio Six coffee machine from Salford Roasters after seeing Nik and the team using one at the Manchester Coffee Festival and being really impressed with it. It’s been fantastic, but what’s been even better is the after sales care. The team have given me advice on which filters to buy and tips on ratios, grind size and how to adjust for different roasts. I’ve been so impressed I’ve just signed up for the coffee subscription, so I always have great coffee to hand. Thanks Salford Roasters.

Incredible roasters. The Nicaragua and El Salvador beans create a gorgeous brew - no bitter/burnt aftertaste and perfect for a V60. Definitely some of the best I’ve found.

I cannot recommend these guys enough...seriously good coffee, boosted our coffee sales like 200%... our coffee shop now needs a fulltime barista since stocking these beans!

Nik is very knowledgeable and the coffee is exceptional. No more drives around the country looking for great coffee. Sorted now! Thank you Nik

After enjoying coffee in Nicaragua we were excited to find that Salford Roasters offered beans and grinds from there. A visit to the website resulted in a first order. Nik contacted me before first delivery to confirm what we wanted. Been subscribing ever since and the service in last 18 months has been incredible. Truly a great find for coffee lovers!

Superb coffee sent quickly to your door. Ground perfectly according to your machine or method. Personal favorite is El Portezuelo from El Salvador. Central American nectar. All power to Salford Roasters.

Here is my very long story to how we found Salford roaster. I spent a lot of time in Malta as a child and it was fine for me to have a cappuccino. The memories of the older folk putting the world to rights over an espresso and they would let me have a cheeky sip. In the UK, coffee was a grown ups drink plus all that was available was instant, it was mid 80s. We had recently bought a small espresso machine, a hand grinder and a few bits to try a find this taste and emotion I had tried to pass to my family. I bought some cheap Asda beans and it wasn't as bad as thought but did hold some of all that others don't like (ashy, sour, biting). I'd watched way too much YouTube to learn and we decided to try and find a good independent roaster for many reasons. Primary reason, the belief that the growers are generally squeezed to extract as much money for the big boys and we felt that this is not the case with many independents. We also wanted to support independent business although, my experience of some coffee houses has been a pompous, exclusive, stuck up atmosphere. The roasters we had seen on YouTube were south based but we wanted to help a local business. I had found a Manchester roaster and felt that was as local as I was going to find and was about to order then my son recalled a local store that stocked a local coffee. The store had closed down but my son had a photo he had taken to show me and so we looked for and found your website. Your story is interesting on the website and I couldn't of found a more local roaster. I'm not a massive coffee drinker and to me is like my whisky, a good enjoyable moment. After I came home with my first order the family wanted to try this 'so called' real coffee. With a prayer that this will be a night and day experience, I opened the Rialto blend. Here was the first shock to those around, the coffee smelt devine. The words were, it smells warm and roasted, a sweet and inviting aroma, like a camp fire... ( My whole family are coffee experts all of a sudden) I spent too long making the family coffees, I made two lattes and a cappuccino before getting to mine. All the family fed back that this is the best coffee that they have ever had. I decided to make an espresso. With trepidation I measured the beans, sat and hand ground then, tamped down and timed the weight out ( too much YouTube heehee). An espresso would normally be a step too far for the family as their experiences have always been a dark ashy thick and bitter. I had told of times of old and so passed the cup to the family members. They all said it smelt inviting. I sat down and took my first taste. Wow, it really is a flash back. The coffee is the daylight moment after being in the dark for so long. My childhood came flooding back. My wife tasted this and has said that although she won't be drinking espresso, that it was so flavoursome and 'round' she can see why I'd 'gone on' for so long. My son said 'wow dad, you're right, you can tell the difference, I never thought I'd like an espresso but I think I do.' I must say the coffee is amazing. What you are selling is more than coffee for me. It's a whole set of feelings, memories and emotions plus bloody good coffee. Thank you and I'll be back. My experience with you has been a delight from a good web experience, great options, customer service etc I have tried other roasters, and always come back to Salford Roasters plus now know good v bad coffee. I've tried a number of Salford Roasters beans, the Salfordian and Rialto are devine, Nicaraguan single bean is brilliant and I have recently tried Ugandan, wowzers, l have tried other blends, all very different and Nic is a delight to speak to and be educated by. It truly is a family business and I've been lucky to meet the family and feel part of the SR family. Do pop into the roastery, get a brew, see how it's made and meet the team. Sorry for such a long review but I wanted you to see more than just a transaction takes place sometimes and I am really passionate for good people to be appreciated and succeed.

I don't actually like coffee, but my wife says Salford Roasters have the very best coffee. On top of having the best coffee the team at Salford Roasters are also great to deal with, thoroughly decent crew. Top company and top products. Keep it up!

Great coffee. Have tried a number of the single origin blends including the Peru, El Salvador and Nicuragua. The decaf blend is also great. We made it for some visitors when we ran out of regular and they had no idea it was decaf! Tasted as good as caffeinated coffee. Also, love the packaging and logo design. Great to see a local high quality coffee maker in Salford. Would recommend. Would like to see Salford Roasters available in more coffee shops and restaurants in Manchester.

Fantastic coffee. Smooth taste. Great local company.

We recently discovered Salford Roasters and have not regretted trying them out. We have tried a range of their different coffees and all have been great, although the Peruvian single origin is a definite favourite. I would definitely recommend to any coffee lovers out there.

I live in Canada now, but my parents still live in South Manchester so ordered them some coffee for Christmas. Coffee is excellent and everyone really liked it. Was even hand delivered so I got to try it before we left the UK! Cheers guys, will be ordering again and might take some back with me next time 😉

Bought the coffee cup made from recycled coffee grounds and absolutely love it. What a great eco product. It has been much admired by friends and colleagues.

Salford Roaster’s coffee was recommended to me by a friend after buying our first coffee machine that required freshly ground coffee. She brought a sample of the ‘Rialto’ which was perfect! We bought 500g which has lasted the two of us around two weeks after using so much of it! Looking forward to sampling their other coffee blends.

I've been meaning to leave a review for Salford Roasters for a few months and keep forgetting! So while I'm enjoying a cup of the 'Uganda', I'd like to share my appreciation! The short version: Lovely people, fantastic coffee! The long version: While I've always loved/depended on coffee, I've also typically always procured it by the cup at one of a number of the big high street chains. What started as an exeriment in saving money by shelling out on a proper espresso machine has turned into a revolution! (That's said, my machine is amateurish compared to the one in the cafe here!) I now only visit those chains in a pinch or when away from home. What even is the difference?! It's night and day. I wouldn't really be the type to be able to recognise tasting notes in wine or beer so I was somewhat sceptical of the tasting notes on the coffee descriptions but I would defy anybody to say they can't taste the difference between the dark and smokey 'Cuba' and the lighter, creamier 'Uganda'. As for the coffee served to the masses, I'm now aware just how inconsistent the results are at those huge chains and when I do have to go to them, it makes me desperately miss my own coffee! For the avoidance of doubt: I've tried several other local roasters across this city and been gifted beans from further afield in the last few months and, so far, I'm always impatient to get back on SR beans! I've tried 6 of their roasts and have loved them all. The Cuba is probably my favourite to date but I'm only 1 cup into the Uganda and it could be a contender! The team at Salford Roasters are always really welcoming and personable. I'd absolutely recommend collecting if you're local so you can meet the craftspeople who roast your beans - they'll happily chat and give advice! If my review smacks of coffee-snobbery, please, stay open-minded and try a cup of Salford Roasters and experience your own coffee revolution!

Excellent coffee roasters. Always have excellent coffee delivered quickly. Highly recommend!

Recently attended a beginner’s barista course here. The guys could not have been more helpful and friendly. Learnt so much and have improved my home coffee skills no end. Will definitely book on for the intermediate course and will be buying my coffee from here in future.

Great coffee

I ordered some of this coffee through the recommendation of a friend. I was not disappointed at all! Some of the best coffee I’ve been able to source across the country. Every time I have had to deal with these guys it has been a positive experience - well worth a try!

Can highly recommend the Nicaragua Bean!

Great coffee! Tried in a couple of places in town, Flok, El Gato and Seven Bro7hers, the quality was far superior to the standard heavily roasted starbucks beans, so ordered some cafetiere coffee online and came in no time! Great local business! Highly recommend for experienced coffee lovers and people starting out with artisan coffee!

Fantastic coffee, thoroughly recommend Salford Roasters’ products. I brought the aeropress and use it everyday, every bit as good as cafe brought coffee.

Tried the coffee at Flok bar in Northern Quarter. Definitely one of the nicest beans I’ve had, will definitely be back soon.

Wow! Gorgeous coffee. I first came across Salford Roasters at whynot? cafe and was very impressed so ordered online. I purchased the press and Nicaragua beans which makes the perfect combination, producing a smooth speciality cup of joe at home every time! I would highly recommend to any coffee lovers!

Was curious about this local supplier so telephoned the owner, he was very helpful and incredibly knowledgeable about his coffee, I ordered a few different blends on line and they have been superb!

I'm not actually a coffee lover....but this was amazing and I think I'm being won over from tea. Definitely recommend you try it

Top quality coffee with care and attention to the flavour profiles. These guys were recommended through a friend and, as I'd been living in Berlin (Europe's coffee mecca) I was keen to find something good locally. I'm now a big fan of their coffees as you can generally always find a. a variety of good quality SO's but also something very unusual (the current Ugandan is blowing my mind!)

Just ordered a Sage coffee machine & coffee from Salford Roasters. Had a chat over the phone first, Nik was really helpful about delivery & recommendations for coffee. New machine arrived promptly and the Nicaragua coffee is getting rave reviews in the house. It’s good to buy from small businesses, especially at the moment, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Salford Roasters.

Absolutely love the coffee! It's a treat. Having sampled several blends and single origin coffees, I look forward to each order. Each one has a distinct character. I will never be able to buy supermarket beans again. Nik will help with any advice. Great local business

I have been so impressed with the customer service from Salford Roasters. I ordered a Sage Barista Touch from them at a great price. There was a slight delay in the manufacturer of these from Sage, however, the polite and efficient communication from Nik at Salford Roasters turned what could have been a disappointing experience into and excellent one. The Barista Touch is incredible, it's helped me make the best Flat White I've ever made at home. I also bough some Signature Blend beans and was recommenced the Rialto bean. The taste, colour and smell are completely different to any bean I've ever bought from a supermarket. I can't recommend Salford Roasters enough for both buying a Sage machine and the quality of their beans.

I’ve been getting Salford Roasters coffee for a while now and cannot fault their products or service. Coffee is top quality and Nik provides a great, speedy service!

High quality coffee and excellent customer service. Our order was lost in the post and Nikw above and beyond to sort it out, even going so far as to personally deliver replacement beans to us.

Another top-up for the coffee cupboard this Christmas. We got a new grinder and do find the enhanced aroma and taste of a freshly ground bean to have the edge. We do have a preference for one but all their offering is excellent. When we're low, my daughter says "Get some more of Nik's coffee dad"! I can't argue.

Excellent coffee and excellent service.

Fantastic coffee! Made an order on Friday and it arrived on the following Monday. Will definitely order again

Fantastic freshly roasted beans & excellent personal service.

Good to visit warm atmosphere and lovely food

Freshly roasted, good quality beans! Highly recommended

Really delicious coffee and fast delivery. Would recommend them to anyone!

Great coffee and Christmas hamper always goes down well

Great coffee....great service. The Costa Rica single origin is definitely worth a taste

Having just got back from traveling around Italy and having loads and loads of coffee, I can honestly say the NICARAGUA Coffee that Salford roasters sell, is right up there with the best I've had!! 100% be ordering more and would highly recompensed them and you ordering the NICARAGUA!

Been a customer of Salford Roasters since they were first established. Their coffee is amazing and they are always creating new blends and introducing new single origin coffee. All of which have great flavour. Their roast is always consistent and provides a lovely smooth taste which is never over roasted like some other companies. Nik the owner is a great person to buy coffee from and provides a great service. Can’t recommend Salford Roasters enough.

Having not long completed my Barista course, it’s safe to say my coffees have improved. Nik speaks with passion around the whole process and the coffee he and the team produces is incredible. A fantastic and educational 2 hours.

Been getting my coffee from Nik for 4 years now. The Nicaragua and Signature blend are superb but everything they do is great, both in my bean to cup machine and v60 method For avid coffee fans id go for the rolling blend/single origin subscription where the beans change every month You can save by collecting if you live locally which i reccomened as its always nice to chat to the guys and take a peek how it's all made!
