Mornings worth rising for.

Small-batch beans, roasted at dawn in our Bristol roastery and sent straight to your door — still warm with character. Ethically sourced, properly considered, never bitter.

01 / Why Dawn

Coffee that tastes like
someone cared.

Three principles we never roast without. From the green bean to the moment it hits your mug.

001

Roasted at dawn

Every batch is roasted the morning it ships. No warehouse months, no stale shelves — just beans at the peak of their flavour, sent the moment they cool.

002

Honestly sourced

We buy direct and pay above Fairtrade, building real relationships with the farms in Ethiopia, Colombia and Guatemala that grow our greens.

003

Made to be shared

Carbon-neutral delivery, fully home-compostable bags, and a roastery powered by Bristol wind. Good coffee shouldn't cost the earth a thing.

02 / The Shop

Three roasts,
one good morning.

Whole bean or freshly ground to your kit. Every bag is roasted, rested and shipped within 24 hours.

03 / The Journey

From bean to cup.

Follow a single Yirgacheffe bean from the hillsides of southern Ethiopia all the way to your kitchen counter.

Hambela, Ethiopia

Hand-picked cherries

At 2,000m, farmers pick only the ripe red cherries by hand — passing over each tree up to eight times across the harvest to catch every bean at its sweetest.

02
Raised beds

Sun-dried & washed

The beans rest on raised African beds for up to three weeks, turned by hand, then washed clean. Slow drying locks in the bright, floral notes we love.

Roasted small-batch

Our 1958 Probat drum roaster takes 12kg at a time. Our roaster Eli watches the colour, listens for the crack, and pulls each batch at the exact second.

04 / Our Story
8 yrs
Roasting in BS1
1958
Vintage Probat drum

It started with a
terrible cup of coffee.

In 2016, our founder Maren pulled the worst espresso of her life from a corner café near Bristol Temple Meads — and decided she could do better. She bought a tiny sample roaster, a sack of Ethiopian greens, and started roasting on her kitchen counter.

Eight years on, Dawn & Co. roasts out of a converted railway arch in the heart of the city. We're still small, still stubborn about quality, and still roasting every bag the morning it leaves us. Some things shouldn't scale.

05 / By the Numbers

Small roaster,
real reach.

Numbers we're quietly proud of, and one we're working hard to earn.
