ABOUT THE PRODUCERS
Our Brazil component comes from SanCoffee, a speciality coffee cooperative founded in 2000 in the Campo das Vertentes region of Minas Gerais. Caramelo is one of the cooperative’s core coffees, produced using pulped natural processing and built around the classic characteristics that make Brazilian coffees so dependable in espresso blends: notes of nuts, toffee and molasses, with a dense, creamy body. The coffee is sourced exclusively from cooperative members in the same region each year, helping deliver consistency from harvest to harvest while maintaining full traceability back to the producers involved.
What drew us to SanCoffee goes beyond the cup profile. The cooperative was created with a long-term focus on quality, transparency and sustainability, and today works with growers across the region to improve access to speciality coffee markets and increase returns at farm level. SanCoffee estimates that around 85% of the FOB value returns to producers after export and logistics costs, and the cooperative has also invested heavily in environmental and social initiatives, including becoming carbon neutral in 2020 and supporting smaller growers through its Beyond Borders programme. It’s a coffee that fits our blends well: approachable, versatile and consistent, but backed by a supply chain with genuine substance behind it.
Our Colombia component comes from Guayabos Cafe Agrario.
Leoncio Maceto, a coffee grower from Ortega, Tolima, is 41 years old and owns the Las Brisas farm located in the Alto Guayabos vereda. The farm spans 6 hectares, with 3.6 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation at an altitude of 1,860 meters. He cultivates several varieties including Colombia, Castillo Tambo, Pink Bourbon and Catimore.
The coffee process is fully washed, with cherries meticulously sorted to ensure only perfectly ripe ones are used. Leoncio is very selective about his pickers, compensating them well to ensure only fully ripe cherries are harvested. The picking cycle occurs every 8 days. The drying process involves using a parabolic solar dryer, where an ideal 3cm layer of coffee is maintained to ensure even and slow drying.

Let customers speak for us
from 24 reviewsFanatic whole beans produce a superb cup of coffee, everytime. Highly recommend.
Friendly advice, reliably freshly roast coffee
Crema dreams are made of!
I stored the beans for a couple of weeks, as the roasting date was super super fresh, and the wait was worth it! Super rich and glossy crema and made a superb flat white. My first single origin beans, defo looking forward to trying more! Regards, Papa Pedro
Great quality coffee delivered super quick at a great price.
Fast delivery, always freshly-roasted coffee, with the roasting date printed on the packet (although twice I thought it was the expiry date - I keep forgetting that it's the day of the roasting) and sustainable packaging.
I recently purchased the Eccentric Ground Coffee from Magnetic North and absolutely loved it - the taste, the aroma, and the quality all exceeded my expectations. What makes it even more special is knowing this bag came from a roaster right here in Brighouse.
In the North, and especially in Calderdale, we’ve often been limited in choice when it comes to high quality coffee beans. To see a new brand like Magnetic North emerge is not only exciting for coffee fanatics like myself, but also such a positive step for the region, giving us more options to explore and enjoy.
The coffee is fantastic, and my only hope now is that one day I’ll see a Magnetic North coffee shop open in Brighouse.
Amazing flavour and aroma. One of the best artisan coffees ive tasted.
Speedy delivery well packaged.
Definatley will be ordering again
