Why Coffee Punks?/

Well, we’re about doing things differently / Rejecting the norm, standing up for our beliefs and fighting for a fairer world /

We want to offer an alternative to the high-street giants / To source, select and serve only speciality grade coffee in a more ethical and sustainable way / Speciality grade coffee is the highest grade quality of coffee available in the world, period / And there’s 18g of it in every single cup /

Proudly individual / Fiercely independent / Always tasty / Coffee that won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth /

How it all began /

Hi, I’m Paul. The man behind the van / I’ve worn many hats in my life / Husband, father, creative director, business owner and entrepreneur / But I’ve always channelled my inner punk /

In the eighties I rejected the idea of corporatism / I shunned convention and embraced self-production and independence / Today, I have the same feelings about my other new passion, coffee / The ‘big boys’ are dominating the market and not always living up to their alleged ethical credentials / There’s got to be a better way /
As the punk in me knows, you’re never too old to do whatever you want / So, at the tender age of fifty something, I trained to become a barista, found myself an awesome vintage van and started working with the bright sparks at North Star Coffee Roasters, Leeds / These specialty grade only roasters seek out farmers and micro entrepreneurs committed to principles of social and environmental responsibility / Everyone gets paid a truly ethical price and farmworkers’ rights are protected /

It makes sense, it feels right and, I’m proud to say, it tastes pretty damn good, too / Perfect, freshly ground coffee founded on punk principles /

Doing our bit /

Not only does our coffee taste great, we’re doing our bit for the environment too /

All of our coffee cups and lids are made from plants, yes plants! This means they are fully compostable and fit in with the circle of natural life, unlike oil based products /

So, this really is coffee that won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth /
