All of our coffee is roasted on site at our hq and roastery in Ammanford, South Wales.

Unlocking the unique flavours within the world's finest coffee begins in the roaster. Hand-roasting in small batches, our Head of coffee is able to judge the timing and temperature to perfection, delicately drawing out the complex flavour notes from raw green beans. We carefully study how the beans turn from green through to straw yellow and then finally to rich, sumputuous brown, ready to be brewed into perfect cup.

Our HOC has been trained within the guidelines set out in the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) education programme. We roast our beans every day to guarantee that you are drinking the freshest coffee around.

Probat as its known today was originally founded in 1868 by Alex van Gülpen, Johann Heinrich Lensing and Theodor von Gimborn under the name Emmericher Maschinenfabrik und Eisengießerei. Through their combined expertise, these three engineers started a new age in coffee production with the world's first spherical roaster, and, in 1884, landed a patent for the Kaffeeschnellröster, a revolutionary development of the drum roaster that remains the most common roasting method in coffee production today. The first Probat roaster was manufactured in 1920, later forcing the name change from the Emmerich machine factory to Probat-Werke (Probat Factories).
