Element Coffee

Element Coffee is an independent roastery and cafe at 236 Northfield Avenue in Ealing, West London. The founders fitted the unit themselves in under five weeks, with a little help from family and friends, after finding the space in 2018, and opened in March 2019.

The range is built around named elements, each mapped to a single origin or blend. Air is a Kenyan coffee described as delicate, floral and citrusy.

Water is a juicy, tropical Nicaraguan. Fire comes from Costa Rica, Earth from Brazil, and Fifth Element is the house blend featuring Ethiopia.

The decaf is a Colombia Sugarcane process. The aim, in their words, is to bridge the gap between the instant coffee world and the third wave movement, with the tagline coffee for all, not the few.

Element sells beans direct, runs a subscription, and supplies wholesale. The cafe is currently listed as temporarily closed on the website.
