Carrow Coffee Roasters is a small and expanding business that is committed to exceptional coffee. We roast a range of ‘single-origin specialty coffees’, meaning 100% Arabica beans of the highest quality that come from a single farm or small area. Our coffees vary from season to season and are carefully sourced from small-scale producers in Africa and Latin America. As well as this direct link, we hunt out coffees that have been grown without artificial fertilizers and pesticides whenever possible. We favour a light-to-medium roast that allows a bean’s intrinsic flavour to shine through. Our roastery is located on a family farm in Beltra, Co. Sligo.

Why are coffee prices going up?

Why are coffee prices going up?

Several people have asked us recently about coffee prices so here's a short blog detailing our experiences this year.

It seems that 2021 was a year when everything became more expensive as coronavirus lockdowns restricted the supply of goods and consumers stuck on their sofas drove a simultaneous surge in demand. Timber went up, metal went up and if you wanted to buy a surfboard or bicycle you had to be quick!

Single-origin Coffee Cupping @Milligram Coffee - Sligo

Join us for a single-origin coffee cupping event @ Milligram Coffee in Sligo town, on Sunday November 10th from 11am-12.30pm.

Andrew is Carrow’s head roaster and a qualified Q Grader. He will explain the role of sensory analysis in coffee - essentially how we can perceive and name different flavours found in the cup and why it's worth doing. As part of this we'll explore the importance of aromas and spend some time developing our 'olfactory libraries'.
