They prioritise sustainability, ethical sourcing, and community engagement, offering single-origin coffees, subscriptions, and wholesale support from their Ebbw Vale roastery and Blackwood café.
Big Dog Coffee Co., established in 2020 by two siblings, operates as an independent specialty coffee roaster from their base in the South Wales valleys, with facilities in Ebbw Vale and a coffee shop in Blackwood. Their approach combines artisanal roasting techniques with a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
The roastery utilises a Diedrich drum roaster, focusing on producing clean, distinctive flavour profiles across their range of single-origin coffees. Their roasting programme emphasises hand-roasting to order, ensuring optimal freshness for their customers. Each coffee is carefully selected and roasted to highlight its unique characteristics, demonstrating their commitment to quality and consistency.
Environmental responsibility forms a core part of their operation, with initiatives including minimal plastic use and recycling of hessian sacks. Their sourcing strategy prioritises ethical partnerships, working with farms globally to ensure fair practices and sustainable cultivation methods.
The company’s wholesale programme provides comprehensive support to partner businesses, including barista training and equipment solutions. Their retail offerings include both traditional and innovative approaches to coffee service, with a subscription service offering customers regular deliveries of freshly roasted beans with a 30% discount on the first month.
Operating from their picturesque valley location, Big Dog Coffee has quickly established itself in the Welsh specialty coffee scene through their combination of quality-focused roasting, sustainable practices, and community engagement. Their approach to coffee roasting and business development reflects a modern, environmentally conscious ethos while maintaining high standards of product quality and customer service.
