Our story

Welcome to Magnetic North, a speciality coffee roaster based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. I’m Fede, founder and lifelong coffee enthusiast.
Magnetic North was established in 2025, and is the result of a nearly two-decade journey that’s taken me from Montevideo to Madrid, London, and finally Yorkshire.
Throughout my life, I’ve been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, one that’s led me to take bold steps; from moving across continents, to shaping a diverse career that reflects both personal growth and curiosity. Eventually, that spirit led me to pursue a long-held ambition of making speciality coffee the norm in the North and inspiring entrepreneurship. Here, I found the perfect place to bring Magnetic North to life.
Our mission is simple: we exist to champion better coffee and better business in the North.
