Hasbean
Founded nearly 20 years ago, Hasbean is one of the “classic” specialty coffee roasters in the UK. Under the leadership of 2017 World Barista Champion Dale Harris, Hasbean has been (pun intended!), like so many world-class roasters, competing, winning and building on these successes consistently. They even recently reinvented their packaging design going for a clever colour scheme to categorise their coffees and is taking Hasbean in an exciting new direction!

Casino Mocca
The idea of Casino Mocca was born in 2013, when founders Lajos, Szabolcs and Zoltán – all three participants in barista competitions – felt a lack of roasters who are competent, consistent and are willing to be progressive & experimental locally. They became the first and only specialty roaster in Hungary and have been meticulously polishing their quality and pushing the Hungarian specialty coffee scene to the next level!
