This story, like many are, is a long time in the making. In fact it is well over a year since I was fortunate enough to meet the team at the Northern Cobbler a high end shoe store that had diversified into supplying quality coffee to their in store clients.
Why they came to me is the coffee business had become such a big part of the revenue they wished to expand on it by purchasing a roaster and roasting their own quality coffee to go alongside the amazing shoes. We roasted coffee and discussed the machine which they felt was ideal for their needs.
But their city centre store could not accomodate a roaster, and while they arranged a suitable rural unit for the roaster they wanted to kick start their retail coffee offering - so it became quite fortunate they were looking to purchase a coffee roaster off someone who roasts coffee.
It might have taken a long time, but the location they found in the end is stunning - combining on the left a boutique coffee and pastry bar separated internally by an all glass partition so you can sip your flat white while watching them roast coffee.
And what a machine to watch roasting the coffee, Toper the manufacturer of the roasters normally trim the front cooling tray, middle drum and top green coffee hopper in either Chrome, Brass or Copper.
But the Northern Cobbler wanted a specific design to match their brand, a specific RAL white bottom and matt black top. And the specific RAL white had to follow on the accessories destoner and grinder with table. I asked Toper if they could do it for my customer - not only could they do what I affectionately call the "chrome delete" roaster - they did it at no extra charge!
All respect to Northern Cobbler it is a stunning looking piece of equipment, a really inspired choice of colour and look they even got their logo on the roaster drum.
If you are near the location the roastery is well worth a visit (@shanibeer)

You helping out competition? Or are they too far away to affect your business? Cool looking set up, I like the glass partition to watch.
Good point but I am the UK agent for the coffee roasting machines - in fact i would not be roasting coffee at all if we had not bought a machine after an exhibition and decided to set it up running so prospective buyers could come and see it working. But once I got it installed it seemed logical to start using it for my own coffee roasting - hence @whiterosecoffee https://whiterosecoffeeroasters.co.uk is a separate retail coffee business compared to https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk and of course https://topercoffeeroasters.co.uk - but they are all my own websites and I put every single product on each of them.
Dam you are the complete entrepreneur. Good for you👍
I know nothing about coffee roasting machines, but this one is certainly pretty from an aesthetic standpoint! It is amazing that they received a custom machine at no extra charge! That must be a really good company! Kudos to TOPER!
At first, I had trouble wrapping my head around the "shoes and coffee" diversification of the Northern Cobbler business... Although, now that I imagine myself trying on pretty shoes while sipping a Carmel Macchiato, I get it! 😁I know it’s a strange combination but they have made it work really well.
Haha, I know the Northern Cobbler, their shop is literally around two corners from me! The new place is only about a twenty minute drive, too, a nice little trip out.
The roastery is in a lovely area of the countryside - I think I saw every country lane in Leicester getting there on Wednesday!

Those equipments are really incredible, very good technology, the coffee business even the cocoa business is very profitable if you know how to take advantage of all the technology involved in the process.
Certainly in the coffee roasting business we can increase the taste of the coffee by around 20% by careful roasting.
When we are back in Leicester in July this is on my ‘must do’ list. Brilliant post. Wished I’d known about it a few weeks back when we were moored up there.
