Independent. Family-run. Roasting coffee in Surrey for over a decade.
2012
Where It All Began
Redber started in Guildford with one small roaster, six sacks of green coffee and a simple idea: great coffee should be freshly roasted, easy to enjoy and full of character.
From the beginning, we wanted to give people the chance to explore coffees from around the world, discover different origins and flavours, and enjoy coffee roasted fresh here in Surrey.

The Roastery Grows
It didn't take long to outgrow our first space. Within two years, we expanded into the unit next door and increased our roasting capacity to keep up with demand.
Our coffee range grew too, but the focus stayed the same: plenty of choice, freshly roasted coffee and knowledgeable, straightforward advice.
2018
A Bigger Home for Redber
As Redber continued to grow, we moved into larger premises with dedicated space for roasting, packing, warehousing and our team.
This also allowed us to develop the business beyond our online coffee shop. We grew our wholesale and commercial side, supplying coffee and equipment to offices, cafés, restaurants and hospitality businesses across the UK.

Rethinking How We Roast
When we needed more roasting capacity, we could simply have bought another coffee roaster. Instead, we decided to explore whether we could do things differently.
That led to Aeolus One, our own air-roasting technology, developed at Redber to give us greater control and consistency while improving efficiency and reducing wasted energy.
It marked a new chapter for the roastery — combining more than a decade of coffee experience with technology developed by our own team.
2026
Still Moving Forward
Today, Redber is still an independent, family-run coffee business based in Guildford, roasting coffee for homes, workplaces, cafés and businesses across the UK.
A lot has changed since those first six sacks of green coffee, but what matters to us hasn't.
We still believe in freshly roasted coffee, plenty of choice, good advice and looking after the people who choose to buy from us.
And we're still curious about what we can do better next.
