Perky Blenders

Perky Blenders is not your regular roasting business. Their main aim was set out to be responsible, friendly, and accessible to all, let you in, and share their knowledge and love into the otherwise mysterious world of coffee roasting. They hope to guide those that are taking their first baby(chino) steps in learning how to brew and, for those who know what they want, how to get it. Victoria Cozens started the business with her husband, Adam, and brother-in-law in 2015. Four years in, Victoria and her Perky Blenders have created four cafes, two “roasteries”, moved all consumables and packaging to eco-friendly options, rebranded, held talks and training, switched websites, all whilst balancing 327 tasks that all need doing right now.

So, you might think this came from years in the industry, countless coffee contacts, and heaps of help. Well, you’d be wrong. Spotting one of those glorious gaps in the market, the three of them invested in a 1kg coffee roaster and began small, working hard, all from a small shed in their back garden. Focusing on businesses in Walthamstow, they built their name through events, networking, and social media. Fortunately, locals couldn’t wait for third-wave coffee to hit the area, and have been incredibly keen to support such a caring and conscious coffee company.
