Thinking of Switching Coffee Suppliers? Here’s Why You Should Choose Bean Smitten

Do Celebrity-Backed Coffee Brands Add Value to the Coffee Industry?

Thinking of changing your coffee supplier to somewhere with better quality, better service or maybe you’re just looking for a fresh start? Well, look no further than Bean Smitten. As a proud local coffee supplier serving businesses and individuals across Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, we believe that exceptional coffee shouldn’t be complicated or pretentious. Here’s why choosing Bean Smitten could be the best decision you make for your coffee supply needs.


Why Choose a Local Coffee Supplier?

Going for a local coffee supplier like Bean Smitten means more than just getting coffee delivered quickly. You’re supporting local businesses and entering a community that values quality and sustainability. We’re located on the picturesque Kent/East Sussex border, about a 20-minute drive from Royal Tunbridge Wells. Being local means we can offer you fresher coffee, more personalised service, and the chance to visit us in person and see where your coffee comes from.


From Coffee Enthusiasts to Specialty Roasters

Bean Smitten was founded in 2014 by Darren Tickner, a former finance executive who, like many of us, once found himself dissatisfied with the uninspiring coffee offered by high street chains. His curiosity led him to explore independent coffee shops and speciality coffee, sparking a passion that would ultimately become Bean Smitten.

With a small workshop near Flimwell, East Sussex, Darren and his team began roasting high-quality coffee beans sourced from around the world. Fast forward a few years and Bean Smitten is now a trusted local coffee supplier to loyal customers across the region.


Ethically Sourced, Hand-Roasted Coffee

One of the main reasons to switch to Bean Smitten is our commitment to ethically sourced coffee. We work with reputable speciality coffee merchants like Falcon Specialty, ensuring complete transparency about the origins of our beans and guaranteeing that farmers receive a fair price for their hard work.

Our coffee is hand-roasted in small batches several times a week, using the latest roasting technology to ensure consistent quality. However, technology is just one part of the process. Each batch is monitored by a member of our team, ensuring that every bean is roasted to perfection.


Freshness That Makes a Difference

Unlike large coffee chains that store their beans for weeks or even months, we roast only what we need to meet current demand. This approach means that when you choose us as your local coffee supplier, you’re always getting the freshest beans possible. Freshness isn’t just a buzzword, it’s what makes the difference between a good cup of coffee and an extraordinary one.


Ground to Perfection

We understand that not every business or home is equipped to grind coffee beans. That’s why we offer a grinding service tailored to your preferred brewing method. Whether you’re making espresso, French press, or a pour-over, we’ll grind your beans to the ideal consistency. All you have to do is enjoy.


The Complete Coffee Experience

As a dedicated local coffee supplier, we go beyond providing high-quality beans. We’re also an official distributor of Sanremo Espresso machines, one of the best brands in the business. Not sure which machine is right for you? We’re happy to guide you through your options, ensuring you get the perfect setup for your needs.

We don’t just sell; we live and breathe it. Our team knows our coffees inside and out, and we’re always happy to share brewing advice tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking for tips on making the perfect espresso or want to try something new, we’re here to help.


A Passion for Coffee, A Commitment to Quality

What sets us apart as a local coffee supplier is our genuine love for what we do. We’re constantly exploring new coffees, expanding our roasting expertise, and finding ways to make our service even better. But at the heart of it all is our commitment to providing consistently high-quality coffee that makes people happy.
