Who Balance Coffee Is

Balance Coffee is a UK speciality coffee brand. It sells clean coffee beans, ground coffee, Nespresso-compatible pods and functional mushroom products.

The brand was built on one founding principle: toxin-free coffee that still tastes like great speciality coffee. Customers often describe it simply as "clean coffee".

Balance Coffee publishes its full third-party laboratory results for anyone to read. Its products are sold online at balancecoffee.co.uk, one-off or by subscription.

Our Mission

Balance Coffee exists to make healthy, clean coffee that still tastes like great speciality coffee. Most coffee is grown and stored for volume, not for purity. We choose speciality-grade beans, test them independently and publish the results.

  • Beans sourced from the top 5% of farms worldwide

  • We pay farmers 25% above the market rate for our beans

  • Coffee independently lab-tested, with the full results published
