Extract Coffee Roasters is a Bristol speciality roastery founded in 2007, with its origins famously in a chicken shed before growing into a multi-site operation also serving customers from London and Manchester. The business runs under the banner of "Make Coffee Better" across four dimensions: growers, communities, the planet and customers.
It became B Corp certified in 2025 and published its first Impact Report in 2024, both of which sit alongside long-standing relationships with farming partners that the team describe as friends. The roastery has a fondness for restoring vintage roasters, including its named machine Bertha, and the company is run by a self-described eclectic mix of cyclists, runners, musicians, growers, bakers, parents and activists.
The range covers espresso and filter roasts, single origins, Nespresso-compatible pods and seasonal tea, with wholesale and subscription routes alongside direct retail. Sustainability work spans recycling coffee waste into bio-fuels, a move to fully recyclable paper cups and a Grounds Up community fund.
