Durham Coffee Roasters

if you're tracking down a roaster that takes the sourcing side seriously rather than just the shop side, sacriston is worth the drive. durham coffee roasters operates out of unit 8 on plawsworth road, an industrial unit in the kind of estate where you expect van parts, not filter coffee, and that gap between expectation and reality is part of why regulars keep coming back. there's no ambient foot traffic pulling people in off a high street. the people who show up are there on purpose. you don't land here by accident. the loyalty that's built up around this place points to something consistent happening at the roasting end, not just the retail end. if you're buying beans to take home, plawsworth road on a weekday morning is a reasonable place to start.
