Welcome to the Village...

Welcome to the Village ! Here you’ll find a selection of delicately home-roasted coffees, roasted in Fontenay-Sous-Bois in east Paris.
All of our coffee is freshly roasted to order, roasted to what is known as Light Roast in order to preserve and highlight the different coffees’ delicate aromas!
Speciality coffee for everyone, fresh, accessible and independent!
If you have found us, then you are part of the Village Coffee community! Thank you for joining us on this adventure. We are a tiny, independent start-up. Tere’s still a lot to do, and you’ll see a lot of changes over time: the packaging, branding, this site… We also aim to propose local delivery by bike, compostable packaging, events, masterclasses et tasting sessions… The possibilities are endless! But for now, we couldn’t wait any longer to bring you the heart and soul of Village Coffee: our delicious coffee! Enjoy!

flavour

Gone are the days of burnt supermarket coffees, with their smokey, ashy flavours! When coffee is roasted too long, it loses all of it’s delicate flavours. At Village Coffee, we use “Light Roast”: our coffee is delicately roasted, never burnt, in order to preserve the coffee’s delicious aromas: whether it be floral, fruity, chocolate…
Some time after being roasted, coffee begins to slowly lose its flavour. This happens even quicker once the coffee’s been ground. Supermarket coffee for example spends months in warehouses and on the shelf, ground and losing its flavour. At Village Coffee, our coffee is freshly roasted and ground to order, so that you can receive your coffee with all the best flavours possible!

love coffee
love the planet

Ecological, sustainable and responsible. At Village Coffee we want to do things right. All of our packets are 100% recyclable, and our boxes used form delivery are 100% recycled and recyclable. Our goal is to one day use compostable packaging.
Also, with projects like local delivery by bike, we hope to offer even more ways to care for the planet whilst enjoying delicious coffee!

from plant to cup

All of our coffee is roasted, packaged and delivered at our home. No middle man! Roasted in small quantities for quality control, every bean can be traced back to its origin!

the daily grind

If you want to buy your coffee ground, the quality of the grind is just as important as the quality of the roast. That’s why we’ve invested in the best grinder on the market today: the Santos Barista 01. This grinder was designed for the most demanding baristas in the world, so much so that it was selected as the official grinder for the 2021 SCA Barista Championship in France! A consistent grind with maximum control, for perfect espressos, filter coffees, etc.

What’s more, we grind our coffee just before sending, in order to keep the coffee fresh and flavourful!

Choose your grind depending on how you want to prepare your coffee: filter, French press, espresso… Don’t worry if you’re not sure, we’re always on hand for hints or tips, just send us a message!
