Penny Rock is the foundation coffee from Red Bank Coffee Roasters, selected from seasonal crops. It delivers a comforting, dependable, and crowd-pleasing profile that works equally well as espresso or in milk. This blend features coffee from Brazil and Mexico.
Tom Prestwich founded Red Bank Coffee Roasters in Coniston, in the Lake District, in early 2015. Tom was a London lawyer who left the profession in 2007 after a cup of single origin Kenyan Ngunguru peaberry at Flat White in Soho changed his trajectory. The roastery started on a 6kg Giesen, with Tom hand logging every profile on graph paper, and has since moved to energy efficient Loring equipment. Two percent of revenue goes to charitable and environmental causes, currently focused on rewilding projects, Growing Well (a local organic farm and mental health charity), and Raw Material. Red Bank was also the first roaster in the UK to use fully recyclable packaging made predominantly from post consumer recycled plastic.
