This year, we’ve kept ourselves very busy with coffee releases, events, partnerships and of course improving the sustainability of our business. As we're coming to the end of 2024, we thought we'd share with you some of our best highlights;
New Coffee Releases
We released 20 new coffees this year, including 12 roaster's choice, 6 limited editions and 2 to our core range. Your favourite (and probably ours too) was our Christmas coffee, Choccy Biscotti. What can we say, people love their chocolate.
We have lots of new coffees planned for 2025, with the first one launching in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned.
Events
It was another busy year for events at Volcano with some particular highlights.
The annual London Coffee Festival was another great success. We had a great time meeting up with many of our suppliers and customers, showing off our brand new merch and launching our limited edition Strawberries & Cream Coffee.
We also held 3 latte art throw downs at our roastery, where our participants had an opportunity to show off their impressive barista skills and win some fantastic prizes. We will be sure to plan more in the new year for those who want another chance to compete.
Throughout the year, we organised pop ups at our customers all around London, brewing up our latest limited edition coffees and offering £1 coffees to the public.
Partnerships
This year, we collaborated with some of our favourite brands on product launches and events.
Last month, we co-released a cortado stout, Ground Control with our neighbours, Brixton Brewery, with all profits going to our Sombra Project.
We also continued supporting Crisis charity, with our best-selling Crisis Coffee blend, pop-ups at their cafes, donation drives at our café and more.
Recently, we teamed up with our friends at Morning to host their Morning Dream Pro-Am UK Championship at our roastery, with our barista champion going home with a Morning pod machine and Dream steam wand. Now that’s what we call a first-place prize!
Our B Corp Score
What we’re most proud of this year, however, is our commitment to sustainability and B Corp. We've been working hard to improve our score all year and we're happy to announce it's gone up from 84 to 93.1 which is a huge achievement. We will continue to improve our score further in 2025.
Learn more about our B Corp commitments.
A very Happy New Year from the Volcano Team and keep an eye out for what we have planned in 2025.
