More than just coffee
Serve York Coffee Emporium and you give your customers a reason to come back. We've roasted speciality coffee here in York since 2010: small batches, traceable green beans, two very different roasters, and every batch checked by hand before it leaves us.
More than beans. Machines to lease or buy, barista training, roastery tours, and engineer servicing that keeps you pouring, all from one team here in York. No jargon and no faff, just great coffee and the back-up to serve it well.

What partnering with us looks like
Roasted for reliability & flavour

Equipment your business needs

Support that keeps you pouring
Detail heading
From your first dial-in to your busiest service, our team is on hand with barista training, menu support and fast machine servicing. Confident baristas make better coffee - and we keep them confident.
Training your staff thrive from
Detail heading
Great coffee only reaches the cup if the person behind the machine knows what they're doing. We train your baristas on extraction, milk and workflow until every drink lands right, whether it's a quiet Tuesday or the Saturday rush. Take a course with us at the roastery, or we'll train your team on-site, on your own kit.
Lease or buy
A package that suits your business
Whether you're opening your first site or upgrading an established setup, we'll help you find the right machine on the right terms - available to lease or buy, with flexible monthly options and warranty cover to match.
Every business is different, so we keep it simple: tell us what you need and we'll put together a package and a quote. No jargon, no pressure.
The way we work
How partnering works
Start with a coffee
We begin with a conversation to understand your setup, your style and your ambitions - then map out a programme built around your goals.
Taste & tailor
We cup our coffees together and choose the ones that suit your menu and customers, then train your team so everything's dialled in behind the counter.
Grow together
Once you're part of the Legion, we keep you stocked, supported and serviced - and we're on the end of the phone whenever you need us.
