Coffee is everywhere. But not all coffee is the same.
When we talk about specialty coffee, we mean coffee that is grown, selected, and roasted with extra care - so you can actually taste the character of each bean rather than just “bitterness” or “caffeine”.
Specialty coffee is usually defined as high‑quality coffee that scores 80 points or more on a 100‑point scale created by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).This means the beans are checked for defects, evaluated for aroma, sweetness, balance, and clarity of flavour, and handled carefully at every step - from the farm to your cup.
For us at Bear with Me Coffee, specialty coffee is not a trend. It is the only way we want to work.
Why we work in specialty coffee
We started Bear with Me because we believe coffee should be more than “just a drink you grab on the way out”. It can be a small ritual that helps you slow down, breathe, and feel present - even for a few minutes.
Specialty coffee helps us do exactly that:
Better taste, less noise with carefully sourced and roasted beans, you get clear flavours - sweetness, fruitiness, chocolate notes - instead of a flat, burnt taste.
Respect for the people behind the coffee. Specialty coffee is about traceability and fairer value along the chain: farmers, producers, roasters, and you as the person who drinks it.
Consistency you can trust. Working with specialty standards means we care about every batch, not just “good enough” once in a while. If a coffee does not meet our quality expectations, it doesn’t go into your bag.
For us, specialty coffee is a way to connect our family experience, professionalism, and our love for everyday rituals in London and beyond.
Our coffee: What we Roast anD why
On our website you’ll find a simple structure: whole bean coffee, drip coffee bags, brew bags, and accessories to complete your home setup.
Whole beAn cofFee
Our specialty whole bean coffees are roasted to highlight the natural character of each origin.
If you like classic comfort — you might choose a balanced medium roast with chocolate and nutty notes. Try our UGANDA Kwezi Drugar Premium or NICARAGUA Finca Los Jilgueros.
If you want something brighter and fruity - your can look for origins with berry or citrus notes such as KENYA Priory Farm C or ETHIOPIA Aricha Wubanchi.
If you brew with a grinder at home, beans give you full control over your recipe and taste.
Whole beans are perfect for those who enjoy the full ritual: grinding, brewing, adjusting, and tasting.
Drip cofFee baGs
Drip coffee bags are our answer for people who want specialty coffee without equipment or stress.
Each sachet contains 12g of freshly roasted, ground coffee in a small filter you hang over your cup. You only need hot water and a mug - no grinder, no machine.
Ideal for office days, travel, studios, backstage, and busy mornings.
Perfect for sharing specialty coffee with someone who “doesn’t have a setup at home” but still wants something better than instant.
In the next blog post we will tell you more about our experience with drip bags.
Brew bAgs
Brew bag is a single-serve coffee bag that holds 28g of freshly ground coffee. You simply add 400 ml of hot water, let it steep, and enjoy a clean filter-style cup - no extra equipment needed, just hot water, the brew bag, and your favourite mug. It’s perfect for travel, road trips, weekends with friends, picnics outside the city, or any moment when you want to make great coffee quickly for a small group.
Accessories
To support your ritual, we also offer accessories that make brewing easier and more enjoyable — from basic tools to items that complete your coffee corner at home or in the studio.
Soon, we will present you our accessories range.
What we specIalise in
We are a small, family‑run, Ukrainian‑owned specialty coffee brand. Our focus is simple:
Roasting specialty coffee for real life. Coffee that fits into your actual routine: early mornings, late nights, shared kitchens, studios, and events - not just perfect café setups.
Making specialty coffee more accessible. With drip bags, brew bags, and clear information, we try to remove the fear that specialty coffee is “too complicated” or “only for experts”.
Creating coffee moments for people and events. We work with HoReCa partners, creative spaces, and events across the UK and Europe to bring high‑quality coffee to places where people meet, create, and celebrate.
Behind the scenes, our work is grounded in years of experience in the coffee industry and a strong connection to world's growing specialty coffee culture. On the surface, we simply want you to have a really good cup — and a small pause in your day.
