Our Story
We already know that prisoners are 50% more likely to reoffend if they leave prison without skills and a job.And we definitely know that to roast specialty coffee, people need exceptional skills.
Enter Redemption Roasters.
We were approached by the Ministry of Justice to help address the state of reoffending by running our roastery and barista training centre at Aylesbury Prison.
“Redemption
Roasters is a shining example of how the Prison Service works with our
industry partners to teach skills in order to reduce reoffending.
Through Redemption, the Apprentices receive top-level training in a state-of-the-art facility, gain real work experience and are introduced to employment opportunities on release.”

- Laura Boyle, Head of Reducing Reoffending, HMYOI Aylesbury
As
part of our mission to help the young offenders successfully
reintegrate into society, we train them in professional roasting and
competition-level barista skills.
Together we roast specialty coffee in small batches for our wholesale and retail customers, and run a café for the prison community and visitors.
On their release, we also help our now ex-offenders find work using our coffee industry contacts.
Just as our sourcing of coffee is ethical, we’re showing the whole roasting process can be socially responsible too.
The result is a finely crafted cup of coffee that raises the bar for everyone.
