William (Will) Scott has
always had a fascination with
coffee from his time spent in
Kenya in the late 1960’s when
he was awoken each morning
to the aroma of freshly brewed
coffee grown locally. Having
then worked in the coffee and
tea industry for many years,
he was able to understand
more of the secrets of coffee
growing and roasting. Will has
also supplied quality coffee to
local people and visitors to his
coffee shop, Aldwinckles, in
Market Harborough, and to
local businesses in the area.

The idea of becoming a micro/
artisan roaster has been a
two-year journey of visiting large commercial
roasters and then spending time talking to
and roasting with like-minded roasters. Then
followed a trip to Colombia in February to
visit different regions, meeting farmers and
cooperatives where Will was
able to observe the process
from the planting of seeds to
the milled parchments that
eventually became the green
coffee bean.

Will sources his green beans
from a direct importer that
he has have known for
some years as they have
the experience and network
to provide him with the best
quality beans from the coffee
belt of the world and, in many
cases, know the farms and
farmers who grow the coffee.

His current range of beans
includes some from Rain
Forest Alliance certified farms
which helps to ensure sustainable livelihoods
for the farmer and his workers and to protect
ecosystems and the wildlife in those areas.
Having bought a small micro roaster, Will has
now started roasting with the aim of retaining the
main characteristics of the single-origin bean yet
enhancing them with delicate roasting. As he is
hand roasting in small batches, Will can control
the final roast condition.

In most cases, the coffee will be to a medium
roast, just after the first crack, which allows
the full range of taste, aroma and flavour to be
enjoyed by the coffee drinker. Will recommends
that the coffee is supplied as roasted whole
beans so that the coffee lover can grind their own
coffee as required and in the correct quantity for
each brew, which helps to retain the freshness.
