The Coffee Counter

The Coffee Counter is a Leicester roastery selling single origins and blends through its online shop, with a cafe also operating from the same base. Origins include Brazil, El Salvador, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and Guatemala, with a Swiss Water decaf rounding out the range.

The business roasts multiple times a week to keep stock fresh and offers a 10 percent discount on qualifying first orders for retail customers. Alongside the consumer side, it runs a wholesale operation supplying coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, delis, retailers and office groups through a dedicated trade portal at tccwholesale.orderspace.com.

Wholesale accounts can also source equipment from La Marzocco, Spaziale, Mahlkonig and Anfim, with informal barista training available to new and experienced operators.
