The West Midlands has 4 independent coffee roasters, with Birmingham the centre of gravity (Quarter Horse in the Jewellery Quarter, Ngopi in the city) and the Black Country and beyond filling out the geography (Cole & Mac in Kingswinford, Beans and Leaves trading since 2004). The roasters here cover an unusual range, from a Birmingham specialty operation running barista training and consumer masterclasses to a roastery built around Indonesian coffee culture and rituals.
Birmingham is the easiest visitor stop, with Quarter Horse in the Jewellery Quarter and Ngopi in the city offering retail and cafe spaces. Beans and Leaves and Cole & Mac in the Black Country supply local cafes alongside their direct online sales.
