Slow support, okay coffee

Support answered my questions but took a few days to get back to me. Coffee was fresh and decent but the slow support left me unsure if I want to order again. Would prefer quicker replies to make the experience smoother. Otherwise, the beans were fine.


img 5/5.0 12, Jul 2025

Clean cups every time

There?s no weird aftertaste or burnt flavors. It?s clean from start to finish. Even in milk drinks, the beans hold their own. That says a lot. I usually mess up lattes but still tastes good.


img 4/5.0 11, Jul 2025

Fresh coffee with friendly support

Beans arrived fresh and well packed with a nice roast date. I had some questions about brewing and their support team was quick to reply and very helpful, which I liked. Coffee tastes great, especially for pour-over. I docked one star because the delivery was a bit slow and the packaging could be a little more eco-friendly. Otherwise a solid experience.


img 5/5.0 10, Jul 2025

Coffee never gets stale

I?ve had beans from other roasters go stale pretty fast even with storage, but Square Mile beans stay fresh for weeks. I think the roast level and bag design help. Just feels better quality.


img 2/5.0 09, Jul 2025

Average taste, long delivery

The coffee was average, nothing special in flavor or aroma. What bothered me most was the long wait time for delivery. It took almost a week to get my order, which is a long time when you want fresh coffee. If they speed up delivery, it might be better, but right now it?s inconvenient.


img 5/5.0 08, Jul 2025

Excellent Aeropress results

Tried one of their single origin bags with my Aeropress and it turned out amazing. I followed their water ratio advice from the blog and honestly, it helped a lot. Not just selling beans, they?re teaching too.


img 3/5.0 07, Jul 2025

Good coffee, slow delivery

Coffee tastes good, fresh and clean but the delivery took much longer than expected. It made me worry about the freshness a bit. The beans themselves were nice but waiting almost a week for shipping was frustrating. Would be better if they improve delivery times. Other than that, the taste was smooth and enjoyable for my morning brew.


img 5/5.0 06, Jul 2025

New favourite origin

I tried their Ethiopian roast and it was just so clean and juicy. Never had such defined notes in a home brew before. They?ve got me hooked on East African beans now.


img 5/5.0 05, Jul 2025

Kid you not?best decaf I had

I gave up caffeine recently and finding a good decaf was hard. This one blew me away. Chocolate, nutty, and no dull taste. I even gave it to friends without telling and they couldn?t tell it was decaf.


img 3/5.0 04, Jul 2025

Support was okay but slow

Customer service was friendly when they replied but it took a while to get a response. Coffee was fresh and flavorful, so the product is good. If they improved their support speed it would be a better experience overall.


img 1/5.0 03, Jul 2025

Coffee lacked flavor and freshness

I got my order but the beans seemed stale. No aroma and the coffee tasted really weak and dull. I was expecting more from a specialty roaster but this was disappointing. Also, the package was a bit damaged when it arrived. Overall not happy with quality or service, won?t be ordering from here again.


img 5/5.0 02, Jul 2025

Great for French press

Some coffees go muddy with French press, but theirs held up really well. Full-bodied without tasting murky. I liked that it didn?t have any harshness, just a smooth finish with a bit of fruit lingering.


img 2/5.0 30, Jun 2025

Confusing website and slow support

The coffee arrived fresh and tasted okay but ordering was a pain. The website was confusing with lots of options and unclear descriptions. Also, when I contacted support, it took days to get a reply which was frustrating. They were polite but slow. I think they need to improve their site and customer service if they want to keep customers happy.


img 5/5.0 26, Jun 2025

Nice variety to explore

I?ve tried the Red Brick, Sweetshop, and a couple seasonal ones. All very different but still excellent. Sweetshop especially was a fun surprise?so much fruity candy-like flavor. I usually go for chocolatey, but I liked this more than expected.


img 2/5.0 21, Jun 2025

Coffee okay, but not great value

I found the coffee to be okay but not something special. The flavor was balanced but lacked excitement or anything unique. Also, I felt like the price was a bit steep for the amount you get. For the same price, I could buy larger quantities elsewhere. Might try again if prices drop but for now I?m not convinced.


img 5/5.0 17, Jun 2025

Well packed and labeled

They include useful info on each bag?origin, process, altitude, notes. Helps me understand what I?m brewing. Bags reseal well too, no need for clips. That?s a small thing, but makes my life easier.


img 5/5.0 13, Jun 2025

Didn?t expect much? loved it

Clicked on an Instagram ad, wasn?t expecting much. But wow, first cup tasted better than most caf? coffees I?ve had. Super smooth and not bitter at all. Even my partner noticed the difference.


img 4/5.0 09, Jun 2025

Interesting seasonal blends

I liked the seasonal coffees they offer, which gave me some new and different flavors compared to the usual blends I drink. The beans were fresh and roasted nicely, with good aroma and flavor. The subscription is convenient, but sometimes the delivery timing isn?t consistent. Also, I think the price is a bit steep for the quantity, but the quality justifies it mostly.


img 5/5.0 04, Jun 2025

Barista friend recommended

A barista mate told me to try Square Mile and glad I listened. It?s not flashy or overly trendy, just well-sourced and roasted beans. I?ve ordered three times now and each one was solid.


img 5/5.0 30, May 2025

Light roast was spot on

I usually prefer medium, but their light roast really surprised me. Bright flavors without being sour, and the aroma when grinding is something else. Used a Kalita and got sweet berry notes. Didn?t expect it to be this smooth honestly.


img 2/5.0 24, May 2025

Website needs serious improvement

Ordering was frustrating because the website is not user-friendly. I had to hunt around to find information about roast dates and flavors. The coffee tasted okay but the confusing site made me feel unsure about my choices. I think they should really redesign their online store for easier navigation and better descriptions.


img 5/5.0 19, May 2025

Coffee that teaches you

Never thought coffee could be this involved. Their lessons made me actually care about water and grind size. And now, my cups are better than most caf?s near me.


img 5/5.0 14, May 2025

Taste speaks for itself

Honestly, you don?t need to say much when the beans taste this good. You brew it, you taste the work. That?s all there is to it.


img 5/5.0 08, May 2025

Beans came super fresh

Roast date was just two days before I got it! Can?t ask for better freshness. Brewed it the next morning and got all those notes right away. That aroma was unreal.


img 3/5.0 03, May 2025

Espresso was mild, not strong enough

I tried their espresso roast but found it a bit weak for my taste. I prefer bolder, punchier espresso shots and this one was more mellow than I expected. It was smooth and clean, but lacked the strength I wanted. Might suit others better though.


img 5/5.0 28, Apr 2025

Educational and fun

Their content really helped me understand extraction. Was just guessing before but now I?m tweaking temps and ratios like a nerd. The coffee also just happens to taste amazing.


img 5/5.0 21, Apr 2025

Makes home brewing feel special

There?s something about opening a bag from them that just elevates your mood. You know it?s gonna be a good brew. I keep trying new ones and haven?t been let down yet.


img 2/5.0 15, Apr 2025

Not as fresh as expected

Although the roast date said fresh, I felt the coffee lacked that vibrant aroma and flavor I expect from freshly roasted beans. Maybe shipping delays affected freshness, but I was disappointed. Packaging was fine but I won?t be ordering again unless they can guarantee quicker delivery. The taste was okay but not memorable.


img 5/5.0 10, Apr 2025

My grinder?s new best friend

These beans grind like butter. No clogging or weird density. Dialed in my espresso shots pretty fast. Love how they roast so evenly too.


img 4/5.0 05, Apr 2025

Smooth espresso, not very strong

The Red Brick espresso is very smooth and easy to drink, which I appreciate. However, I find it?s a bit lacking in strength compared to other espressos I?ve tried. Still tastes fresh and the crema is nice. I?d recommend it if you want something mellow rather than punchy. Packaging was good and the order arrived intact, but shipping speed could improve.


img 5/5.0 31, Mar 2025

International shipping okay

I live in Spain and my order arrived in good shape. Took a little longer than UK I guess, but beans were still fresh. Was worried about delays but it turned out fine.


img 5/5.0 24, Mar 2025

Merch was a surprise

Didn?t expect their merch to be so good. Bought a tote and it?s way sturdier than others I?ve had. Plus, nice to carry beans in something from the same folks.


img 3/5.0 17, Mar 2025

Nice coffee, but pricey for quantity

The beans tasted nice and fresh, but I felt the quantity for the price wasn?t great. It?s good quality but I was expecting a bit more volume or a better deal. Still, flavor was balanced and enjoyable.


img 5/5.0 12, Mar 2025

Solid every time

This is like my 6th order and still no off batches. Beans always come smelling fresh and the flavors are consistent. Makes me confident to order again without second-guessing.


img 5/5.0 06, Mar 2025

Sourced with care

You can just tell they put thought into where they get their beans. The transparency?s nice. The flavors always come through clearly, especially with light roasts. Never had a bad cup.


img 2/5.0 01, Mar 2025

Slow response from support

Customer support was polite but very slow to respond. I had a question about delivery and it took them several days to get back to me, which was frustrating. The coffee was fresh and tasted good but the slow communication made me hesitant to order again. Would like faster replies if I?m going to keep buying.


img 5/5.0 24, Feb 2025

Great for learners

I started out only knowing how to press a button on my machine. After trying their guides and tasting their beans, now I weigh and time every brew. Big change and it?s been fun learning.


img 3/5.0 19, Feb 2025

Good coffee but delivery took long

Coffee was fresh and tasted clean, but delivery took almost a week which was frustrating. I like fresh beans so speed is important to me. Otherwise the coffee was enjoyable and I would order again if shipping gets faster.


img 5/5.0 12, Feb 2025

Packaging?s nice and simple

Appreciate that the packaging is straightforward, no flashy prints or plastic. Keeps beans fresh with the reseal. Also like that they include roast date?makes it feel more honest.


img 3/5.0 06, Feb 2025

Support was helpful but slow reply

I had questions about brewing and their customer support was friendly, but it took a couple days to get a reply. Coffee quality was good though, and the beans tasted fresh. Would be better if support was a bit quicker. Overall experience was okay.


img 5/5.0 31, Jan 2025

Good mix of classics and rare

Nice that they keep a reliable core blend like Red Brick, but also offer interesting, limited single origins too. Gives me both consistency and something new to try. Great balance.


img 4/5.0 24, Jan 2025

Good variety, site needs updates

Square Mile has a nice variety of single-origin and blends to choose from, which makes it fun to try new things. The coffee quality is very good and fresh, but I found the website a little outdated and not as user friendly as I?d expect. Ordering was okay but took longer than I hoped to find all the info I needed. Good coffee overall though.


img 5/5.0 17, Jan 2025

Clear guides helped a lot

I was new to specialty coffee and their brew guides really helped me get going. Didn?t feel overwhelmed or talked down to. Now I?m brewing better cups at home than I ever had at caf?s.


img 5/5.0 10, Jan 2025

No-nonsense quality

They don?t overhype their product with flashy marketing. Just honest, well-roasted beans. You taste it in the first sip. I respect that approach and happy to support it.


img 2/5.0 03, Jan 2025

Coffee was fine but shipping too slow

The beans arrived fresh and tasted alright but shipping was really slow. It took almost a week to get my order which is a long time for coffee. By then, I wasn?t sure if it was as fresh as it could be. If they speed up shipping, this could be better, but right now it?s inconvenient for people who want fresh beans quickly.


img 5/5.0 23, Dec 2024

Reliable monthly coffee

Signed up for a subscription and haven?t missed a cup since. Comes same week each month, and every time it?s a new profile to explore. Keeps things interesting and I?ve even started rating the beans for fun.


img 5/5.0 17, Dec 2024

Perfect for pourover

Their filter roasts are just right for my Chemex. Floral, sweet, no dryness. The tasting notes actually matched what I tasted, which is rare. Packaging was clean and no unnecessary waste, which I liked.


img 3/5.0 10, Dec 2024

Good coffee but packaging bulky

I liked the coffee itself, but the packaging felt a bit bulky and not very eco-friendly. I wish they used less plastic or smaller bags. It kept the beans fresh but could be better in terms of waste. Coffee tasted smooth and bright, so it was worth it.


img 5/5.0 04, Dec 2024

Support was great

Had an issue with a damaged bag, probably postal fault. Reached out and they sent a new one straight away, no arguing. That alone made me stick with them. And yeah, the beans? Amazing.


img 5/5.0 28, Nov 2024

Easy to navigate site

Their website made it simple to order. Clear descriptions, roast info, even recommended brew methods. Didn?t get lost in confusing jargon like some other places. My order came quicker than expected too.


img 2/5.0 20, Nov 2024

Good taste but very overpriced

I liked the flavor of the coffee, it was smooth and decent. However, I felt the price was too high for the amount you get. It?s not affordable for everyday drinking and feels more like a luxury treat. If they lowered prices or offered bigger bags, I might consider buying again, but as is, it?s too pricey for what you get.


img 5/5.0 14, Nov 2024

Smoothest decaf I?ve had

Usually decaf just tastes flat, but this one had real body and chocolate notes. I even made a flat white with it and my friend didn?t notice it was decaf. I can finally enjoy coffee late at night again without getting wired.


img 5/5.0 08, Nov 2024

Fast delivery in UK

Living in the UK, I always get my orders within 2?3 days. Roasted fresh and you can actually smell it through the box, lol. Tried their single-origin a couple times?really enjoyed the clarity in flavor. No complaints here.


img 2/5.0 01, Nov 2024

Decaf lacks flavor

Tried their decaf and it was very weak in flavor. I couldn?t really taste much and it felt like watered down coffee. Also, it took a while to arrive which made me question the freshness. I?d recommend other brands if you want decaf that actually tastes like coffee.


img 2/5.0 24, Oct 2024

Packaging could be better

Coffee arrived fine but the packaging was quite bulky and not very eco-friendly. I wish they used smaller or more sustainable bags. It felt like a lot of waste for just a small amount of beans. The coffee itself was okay but that packaging made me think twice about reordering.


img 1/5.0 17, Oct 2024

Very slow shipping and poor taste

The coffee took forever to arrive, and by the time it did, it was barely drinkable. The flavor was flat and had an unpleasant aftertaste. I was hoping for a nice smooth cup but got the opposite. Tried contacting support but didn?t get a helpful response. I wouldn?t recommend this to anyone looking for fresh quality coffee.


img 5/5.0 08, Oct 2024

Twelve Lessons is fun

Twelve Lessons subscription was more than just coffee?it?s an experience. Every delivery came with some learning, and it got me thinking more about water, grind size, even brew times. Beans were tasty too, and I liked the educational vibe.


img 3/5.0 02, Oct 2024

Not very bold roast

The roasts I tried were smooth and clean but lacked some punch. If you like a stronger, darker roast, this might feel a bit light. Flavor is good but not exciting or complex. Still okay for everyday coffee but I wanted more depth.


img 5/5.0 26, Sep 2024

No bitterness, just smooth

Some roasters go too dark for my taste, but Square Mile keeps it balanced. Their beans always brew up smooth, no harsh bitterness. I?ve tried three different roasts and all had clarity and body. Makes me look forward to mornings more.


img 5/5.0 18, Sep 2024

Griffin sweatshirt is top

Not just coffee, I picked up their Griffin sweatshirt too. Honestly impressed. Super comfy, good fit, didn?t shrink after wash. Of course, the coffee I ordered along with it tasted great too. Double win.


img 2/5.0 09, Sep 2024

Good beans but packaging is wasteful

The coffee tasted fresh and well roasted but I really didn?t like the packaging. It felt bulky and not environmentally friendly at all. I wish they would use less plastic or more recyclable materials. It made me think twice about ordering again even though the coffee itself was good. Sustainability matters to me.


img 5/5.0 03, Sep 2024

Very helpful staff

Wasn?t sure which beans would suit my Aeropress setup and emailed them for help. Got a detailed reply same day, not some copy-paste message. I followed their advice and loved the result. Real human touch in their service, which is rare these days.


img 5/5.0 30, Aug 2024

Clean and fruity

I tried one of their seasonal filter roasts and it blew me away. So bright and fruity, but still smooth. Didn?t need to add anything to enjoy it. You can tell they source and roast carefully. I?ve had fresher, but not better quality for sure.


img 4/5.0 23, Aug 2024

Great roast quality, minor delivery issues

The roast quality here is very consistent and I like the flavor balance in the beans I?ve tried. The packaging kept the beans fresh well, and I can tell they roast with care. Delivery was a little slow and the tracking info wasn?t updated as frequently as I hoped. Still, I?ll keep ordering because the coffee itself is really enjoyable.


img 5/5.0 15, Aug 2024

Perfect for gifting

I got my brother a coffee subscription as a birthday gift. He?s been super into it. Each month he messages me with what flavor notes he?s picking up. It?s kinda turned him into a mini coffee snob, in a good way! Ordering was simple and everything arrived nicely packed.


img 5/5.0 08, Aug 2024

Red Brick is my go-to

Been drinking their Red Brick espresso for over a year now. Still delivers that sweet, round taste every time. It's consistent, and I never got a bad batch. Their bags seal well and stay fresh longer than others I tried. Wouldn?t mind quicker shipping, but overall it's always worth the wait.


img 3/5.0 02, Aug 2024

Website confusing to use

I liked the coffee quality, but ordering was confusing. The website was hard to navigate and the options weren?t very clear. Took me some time to figure out which roast and subscription to choose. Once I got it sorted, the beans were good and fresh. Wish they would simplify the site for new customers.


img 5/5.0 29, Jul 2024

Tastes like quality

First time ordering, and I gotta say, it was a very pleasant surprise. The beans came fresh, roast date printed, and the flavor felt super clean and balanced. I brewed it with my V60 and it turned out just right. Can?t really find that kind of clarity in supermarket beans, honestly.


img 5/5.0 21, Jul 2024

Smooth decaf wins

Was skeptical of decaf, but theirs is smooth, chocolatey, and no weird aftertaste. Good for evening cups without caffeine buzz.


img 5/5.0 13, Jul 2024

Worth the price

Yes it?s a bit pricier than mainstream, but roast quality and freshness justify it. Been drinking theirs for 2 years and still feel happy with each batch.


img 2/5.0 06, Jul 2024

Good flavor but small bags

The coffee tasted nice, clean and balanced but the bags are quite small for the price. I was expecting more quantity or better value. It felt more like a sampler than a regular purchase. The quality was good though, just wish they offered larger sizes for the price point.


img 5/5.0 29, Jun 2024

Sturdy merch

Bought a crewneck and it?s held up machine washes well. Looks like quality gear. Pairing it with their beans makes a nice combo.


img 2/5.0 23, Jun 2024

Espresso wasn?t strong enough for me

I was hoping for a bold espresso but found this one quite mild and lacking punch. It was smooth but not very exciting. If you like really strong and heavy espresso, this might not suit you. It?s fine for filter coffee, but I expected more from the espresso roast. The delivery was slow too which didn?t help.


img 5/5.0 15, Jun 2024

Educational and tasty

Loving their blog brew guides?they really helped me dial in my Aeropress. Coffee flavour shows the difference: clean, nuanced, no bitterness.


img 3/5.0 09, Jun 2024

Quality ok but pricey

Beans tasted fresh and fairly balanced but the price feels a bit high compared to other roasters. I wasn?t sure if I?d reorder because of the cost. The packaging is good and the coffee itself is fine, just nothing really stands out for me. Might be better for occasional treat than daily use.


img 5/5.0 01, Jun 2024

Responsive UK team

Have ordered multiple times from UK shop?support team always responds same day. They replaced a faded merch item without fuss. Coffee is just lovely.


img 5/5.0 26, May 2024

No jargon, just taste

Descriptions are simple, not full of over?the?top hype. Coffee tastes exactly as described which is nice. Don't mind paying for good roast.


img 4/5.0 19, May 2024

Helpful brew guides, good beans

The brew guides Square Mile provides were very useful for improving my pour-over technique, which made the coffee taste better. The beans themselves are fresh and flavorful with clear notes. The only downside was the delivery time, which was longer than expected and caused some inconvenience. Customer service was friendly and helpful, so overall a good experience despite minor delays.


img 5/5.0 11, May 2024

Neat gift ideas

Bought a gift card and it was nicely packaged and appreciated. Recipient loved choosing their own beans and even signed up for subscription.


img 5/5.0 04, May 2024

Well?sourced beans

You can tell they source well, supports farmers direct. Coffee tastes vibrant and clean, not muddy or over?roasted. Feels ethical.


img 2/5.0 28, Apr 2024

Price too high for quantity

The quality of the beans was good but I felt like I wasn?t getting enough for the price. It?s quite expensive for the amount of coffee you get. Might be good for special occasions but not sustainable for regular use. Flavor was okay but not enough to justify the price.


img 5/5.0 23, Apr 2024

Twelve Lessons = value

Bought their Twelve Lessons subscription?learned a lot about espresso and water quality. Beans included were tasty and the lessons are fun yet informative.


img 5/5.0 15, Apr 2024

Solid global shipping

Living outside UK, shipping didn?t cost an arm and leg. Took a week but beans arrived intact and fresh. Nice to see international orders are well handled.


img 4/5.0 05, Apr 2024

Nice coffee but could be cheaper

I enjoy their coffee for the bright flavors and freshness, but I feel it?s a little pricey compared to other specialty roasters. The quality is good but the cost might keep me from ordering too often. Shipping was fine and packaging secure. I?d like to see more budget-friendly options or deals, but if you want quality beans, this is a safe choice.


img 5/5.0 25, Mar 2024

Fresh every time

I appreciate the freshness?roast dates are printed, and coffee always smells intense on arrival. Makes me trust what I?m drinking.


img 3/5.0 16, Mar 2024

Average taste, nothing special

The coffee was okay ? not bad but didn?t stand out either. The flavor was mild and clean, but I was hoping for something more memorable. The roast date was recent and beans were fresh, but I don?t think I?d reorder soon.


img 5/5.0 10, Mar 2024

Bright and fruity filter

Tried their seasonal filter roast, lovely citrus notes and brightness. Makes my morning feel more special than just bland brew. Happy customer here.


img 2/5.0 01, Mar 2024

Good beans but slow shipping

Beans were fresh and tasty but shipping was frustratingly slow. Took more than a week to arrive which made me worry about quality. Coffee was fine once it got here but I?m not sure I want to deal with the wait again. Faster delivery would make it much better.


img 5/5.0 22, Feb 2024

Friendly support

Contacted support with a weird grinder query and they were super friendly and clear. Didn?t feel rushed, took time to explain. Coffee is just lovely too.


img 5/5.0 11, Feb 2024

Quality from bean to cup

From ordering to brewing, everything feels premium. The coffee?s clean taste shows good sourcing and roasting. Definitely better than my local supermarket beans.


img 3/5.0 04, Feb 2024

Site needs better info

The coffee arrived fresh and tasted nice, but the website didn?t provide enough info about the beans and processes. I had to do extra research elsewhere to understand what I was ordering. Would help to have clearer descriptions and brew guides.


img 5/5.0 30, Jan 2024

Helpful brew guides

Loved using their V60 and Aeropress guides?they?re detailed but not overwhelming. Coffee tasted great, and I actually learnt something new about ratios.


img 4/5.0 19, Jan 2024

Great coffee, website could be clearer

I enjoyed the coffee a lot ? very fresh and vibrant in taste. The roast dates were always recent which I appreciated. However, the website was a bit confusing when selecting subscription options and roast types. It took me some time to figure out what I wanted. Once sorted, the ordering was smooth and delivery was fine. Good coffee overall, just minor site UX improvements needed.


img 5/5.0 08, Jan 2024

Trustworthy roaster

They?ve been around for years, and you can taste that experience. Beans are consistently high?quality, and I feel I can trust their sourcing and roast levels.


img 5/5.0 02, Jan 2024

Simple site, easy orders

Website is straightforward, subscription options are clear. I like picking filter beans each month. No stress, just coffee arriving each morning.


img 5/5.0 24, Dec 2023

Fast UK delivery

Based in UK?I get next?day tracking info and it lands quickly. Beans roasted within 24hrs and taste that fresh is hard to beat. Definitely appreciate that speed.


img 3/5.0 11, Dec 2023

Support was helpful but slow reply

I had questions about brewing and their customer support was friendly, but it took a couple days to get a reply. Coffee quality was good though, and the beans tasted fresh. Would be better if support was a bit quicker. Overall experience was okay.


img 5/5.0 06, Dec 2023

Well balanced espresso

Red Brick espresso gives a velvety crema and mellow notes. Hard to find such balance elsewhere. And their support answered my grinder question politely.


img 5/5.0 28, Nov 2023

Nice packaging

Packaging is sturdy and minimal. Coffee stays fresh. Ordered gear and beans?both arrived in perfect shape. Can taste the care in roast.


img 5/5.0 17, Nov 2023

Love the seasonal edits

Really enjoy their constantly changing seasonal roasts. Keeps coffee game interesting. Once tried an experimental processing bean and it was surprisingly fruity and complex.


img 4/5.0 08, Nov 2023

Consistent quality but pricey

Square Mile delivers consistently good coffee with nice bright flavors and well-developed roasts. I especially liked the Red Brick espresso which was smooth without bitterness. The price is a little on the higher side compared to others, so I?m hesitant to make it a regular habit. Overall a reliable roaster with fresh beans, just wish the costs were slightly more affordable for everyday use.


img 5/5.0 01, Nov 2023

Lovely roastery feel

Feels like I?m at their London roastery with each fresh roast. Bought filter and espresso bags, they both hit the spot. Appreciate the coffee maps and brew guides online too.


img 5/5.0 24, Oct 2023

Reliable subscription

My monthly coffee subscription comes on time every month. Beans consistently taste great, no weird aftertaste. Price is fair for quality, would reorder again.


img 4/5.0 12, Oct 2023

Really good but shipping slow

The coffee taste was very fresh and nicely roasted, especially the filter blends. I liked the clear flavor notes and how the beans smelled. The only thing was that delivery took longer than I expected which was a bit frustrating. But once it arrived, the coffee made up for it with nice balance and clean finish. Will order again but hope shipping speeds up.


img 1/5.0 29, Sep 2023

Bad experience, won?t reorder

My order arrived late and the beans smelled old and stale. Brewed the coffee and it tasted very bitter with no depth. I tried adjusting grind and brew times but nothing helped. For the price I paid, I expected way better. Customer service was slow to reply too. This was my first and last order with Square Mile.


img 1/5.0 23, Sep 2023

Really disappointed with delivery

I was so excited to try the coffee but delivery took way too long. It came after 10 days and when I opened the bag, the beans didn?t smell fresh at all. Brewed it anyway but the taste was flat and bitter. Honestly, felt like a waste of money. Not sure if I want to try again after this experience.

Perfect pour-over kit

Grabbed the V60 guide and coffee ? guides are super helpful, beans taste exactly as described. Was able to dial in my brew easily, thanks to their tips on site.

Decent but slow delivery

I liked the coffee flavor, but delivery was slow which made me worry about freshness. The package arrived intact but was delayed by a few days. Coffee was smooth and enjoyable but would prefer faster shipping for fresh beans.

First-class customer care

Had a hiccup with packaging leak and they replaced it pronto. No fuss, no hassle. Plus the coffee itself is just lovely?bright but not acidic. Thumbs up.

Simple, honest coffee

What I like most is they don?t overdo the branding. Everything?s straight to the point?good beans, helpful info, fair pricing. Feels like the focus is on taste, not hype.

Cool merch too

Ordered a Griffin sweatshirt along with some espresso and it?s comfy and well made. Beans were roasted super fresh and tasted brilliant?can?t complain about that combo!

Good roast but a bit expensive

The roast quality was nice and the beans tasted fresh. However, I feel the price is a bit high for what you get. If they offered a slightly cheaper option it would be easier to order regularly. Taste-wise it was very good.

Decaf was disappointing

I was excited to try their decaf but was let down. The flavor was bland and lacked complexity. It didn?t taste like coffee to me. Also, the delivery took longer than promised which made me worry about freshness. I hoped for better but this was underwhelming. Would not recommend decaf from here unless they improve the quality.

Never a dud bag

I?ve been ordering since early last year and not once have I gotten a bad roast. Always fresh, always in good shape. The uniformity in roast is impressive. You don?t see that everywhere.

Great with oat milk

I?m picky about beans that hold up in oat milk, and theirs do! No sour notes or strange reactions with plant milk. Red Brick especially works really well for milk drinks.

Love the decaf

Thought decaf wouldn?t be great but wow, Square Mile nailed it. Still with flavour and aroma, was genuinely surprised. Would recommend if you're cutting down on caffeine.


img 5/5.0 03, Aug 2023

Didn?t disappoint

Came in with high expectations based on word of mouth. Honestly? They met it. My flat whites taste like they?re from a specialty caf?. I don?t even bother going out for coffee anymore.

Nice flavor but a bit pricey

I enjoyed the flavor of the coffee ? fresh and balanced. But I found the price a bit on the higher side for the amount of beans you get. Not sure I would buy regularly because of that. Still, quality is decent and worth trying if you want something different.


img 4/5.0 25, Jul 2023

Good flavors but not super bold

I tried a few of their blends and enjoyed the flavor profiles, which were clean and well balanced. I prefer stronger, bolder coffee for espresso though, so it was just slightly lighter than I wanted. It works great for filter and Aeropress, but if you like very dark roasts this might not be the best fit. Still, well sourced and tastes fresh every time.


img 2/5.0 18, Jul 2023

Coffee was okay but delivery took forever

The coffee itself tasted fine, not bad but nothing special either. What really disappointed me was how long delivery took. I waited over a week which felt way too long for fresh coffee. By the time it arrived, I wasn?t sure how fresh it still was. The packaging was okay but could be better. Not sure I?d order again with such slow shipping.


img 5/5.0 14, Jul 2023

Great for gifts

I bought a coffee subscription and even tho I messed up my own address, customer service helped me sort it same day. Beans taste really fresh and the gift looked thoughtful.


img 5/5.0 09, Jul 2023

Taste is next level

Can?t believe the difference a good roast makes. Compared to my old coffee, this just pops with flavor. Doesn?t even need sugar or milk. I just drink it black now, which I never did before.

Happy with shipping to UAE

Was skeptical about ordering internationally, but beans arrived well-sealed and pretty fresh considering distance. Good stuff. I used it for espresso and it came out fruity with good crema.


img 5/5.0 27, Jun 2023

Consistent quality

Their Red Brick espresso is smooth and rich, never bitter. I?ve been ordering for months, and each bag hits that perfect roast. Support team once answered a question in under 10 mins. Impressed!


img 5/5.0 20, Jun 2023

Delivers every time

Fourth order just arrived and it?s as fresh and fragrant as the first one. I love the consistency, especially with their seasonal blends. It's hard to find roasters that don?t slip in quality over time.


img 4/5.0 16, Jun 2023

Decaf option is good but limited

I appreciate that Square Mile offers a decent decaf option that doesn?t taste flat or dull. The beans had nice flavor and body for a decaf. I just wish there were more variety in the decaf range. Otherwise, their filter coffees are bright and enjoyable. Shipping took a little longer than expected, but customer service was responsive when I asked about my order.


img 5/5.0 06, Jun 2023

Better than local shops

I?ve tried quite a few local roasters in my city, but none of them hit the balance Square Mile does. Their Red Brick has been a regular in my house. Always good flavor, never too sharp.


img 4/5.0 03, Jun 2023

Freshness always there but shipping delayed

Every order I received was fresh with a clear roast date, which I appreciate a lot. The coffee tastes nice, clean, and vibrant. My only complaint is that sometimes the shipping took longer than estimated, which made me a bit worried about freshness at first. But in the end the beans were still great. Would be good to improve delivery times though.

Brewing?s more fun now

Square Mile beans made me want to experiment again. I dusted off my Chemex and started actually timing and weighing again. They sort of got me back into coffee in a good way.


img 3/5.0 23, May 2023

Decaf option limited and average

I was happy to see a decaf option but it didn?t really wow me. The flavor was okay, but kind of flat and lacking depth. It?s better than some decafs I tried before, but I hoped for more variety and complexity. Shipping also took a little longer than I hoped.


img 5/5.0 16, May 2023

Solid everyday pick

Really enjoying the seasonal beans ? the filter blend tastes balanced and smells lovely. Packaging arrived just fine, though I wish delivery was a tad faster. Been using their subscription and so far so good!


img 5/5.0 07, May 2023

No weird bitterness

A lot of espresso beans I?ve tried go bitter after a few days open, but these stay nice and round. Using them in my Sage machine and shots come out consistently good. No channeling either.


img 3/5.0 01, May 2023

Ordering process confusing

I found the website a bit tricky to navigate when trying to place my first order. The coffee itself was fresh and tasty but the ordering experience wasn?t very smooth. Some improvements in site usability would help new customers a lot.


img 1/5.0 23, Apr 2023

Disappointed by freshness and shipping

I was really looking forward to this coffee but it arrived damaged and stale. The packaging wasn?t secure and beans had lost their flavor. Shipping took much longer than promised, which probably made it worse. I can?t recommend this based on my experience, felt like I wasted my money on poor quality and slow service.


img 5/5.0 17, Apr 2023

Honestly impressed

Didn?t expect much ordering from a UK roaster to Germany, but delivery was smooth and coffee tasted just as fresh. One of the better online purchases I?ve made this year. Might try the merch next.


img 3/5.0 10, Apr 2023

Good coffee but slow shipping

Coffee tasted nice and fresh, no complaints there. However, the shipping took longer than I thought, which was frustrating. The beans came in good condition but I would expect faster delivery especially for fresh coffee. If they speed that up, it would be much better.


img 5/5.0 03, Apr 2023

Good starter for beginners

I sent a friend a bag as a welcome to specialty coffee and they got totally into it. The flavors are approachable, not too acidic or complex. Great intro without being basic.
