Our roastery
From our Greater Manchester roastery to your door
Every batch is roasted in small quantities, cupped for quality, and packed within hours of coming off the drum. No warehouse stock, no stale beans — just coffee at its peak.
- Roasted in batches of 5kg or less
- Cupped and scored before every release
- Ground to your brew method, or left whole bean
About Tank Coffee
Our roastery is in Leigh, a town built on the industrial craft of cotton, silk, and coal. We bring that same focus to a new local trade: coffee roasting. We source single-origin Arabica beans directly from farming cooperatives in Africa, Colombia and Brazil. This direct trade model allows us to verify fair payment practices for the growers, particularly the women who provide over 90% of the labour in coffee harvesting.
Every bag is roasted to order in our on site roaster. We ship your order as whole beans or ground to your specification. Your coffee arrives via Royal Mail in a letterbox friendly package, ensuring it’s waiting for you, not at the depot. Our product line includes single origin beans and our own house blends, developed to work with the moderately hard water found in the North West.

What our customers say
Love this stuff it’s hard to believe it’s decaf great when you want a late espresso based beverage
10/10* Excellant ! I have tried many different Coffee Roasters and TankCoffee African is the number 1 by far the best, there no need for me to look any further. Will be sticking with TankCoffee from now on. So far I’ve only tried 2 of the…
Of all the tastets I loved this one best, hence ordered subscription now. I also like the project ethos
About us
Coffee people, first and foremost
Tank Coffee started with a single drum roaster and a stubborn belief that great coffee should not be complicated. We work directly with growers and importers we trust, roast in small batches, and tell you exactly what you are drinking.
