The Explorer is Kickback Coffee's signature house blend combining coffees from Nicaragua, Colombia, and Honduras. Nicaragua forms the body and provides nuttiness, Colombia smooths out harsh edges, and Honduras provides bright fruitiness. The blend offers balanced taste notes of milk chocolate, stone fruit, and pecan.
Kickback Coffee was incorporated in 2020 and roasts from a converted brickworks in Pott Shrigley, Cheshire, on the edge of the Peak District. The origin story involves a popcorn maker; the operation has since scaled to a team of over 20. They position themselves as adventure coffee, sponsoring athletes like Olympic rock climber Shauna Coxsey and Annasley Park, the ninth woman to row the Atlantic solo and unsupported. The roastery runs three café locations in Altrincham, Pott Shrigley, and Sale Moor. On the community side, they partner with Coffee4Craig, a homeless charity, and team member Alex ran over 200 miles from Macclesfield to London to raise funds.
