THE STORY
Solas is a small-batch specialty roastery from Ireland, built on one stubborn idea: coffee should taste like where it came from, not like the roaster showing off.
We buy lots we can trace to the people who grew them — cherry collected at the Shyira and Gisheke stations in Rwanda with Muraho Trading Co, experimental ferments from Café De La Torre and Finca El Diviso in Colombia.
Everything is roasted in small batches, to order, and shipped while it is still shouting. Solas means light — we roast to let it through.
Common questions
Roast days, freshness, grind and delivery. The short version.
When do you roast?
Mondays and Tuesdays. Orders go out Wednesday and Thursday.
Is there a cut-off for ordering?
No. Whenever your order lands, it goes on the next roast. Nothing sits waiting for a deadline.
Why has my order not shipped yet?
Because it has not been roasted yet. We roast to order rather than keep bags on a shelf, so there is normally a few days between you ordering and us posting. You will get a shipping confirmation the morning it goes out.
How fresh is the coffee?
Every bag is dated. Drink it within a month of that date and you will get the best of it.
Should I rest it before brewing?
Give it a week. Coffee is usually at its best around seven to ten days off the roast, particularly for filter. If the first cup tastes sharp or closed up, leave the bag a few more days before you judge it. It will open.
Do you grind the coffee?
Bags ship wholebean by default. If you want it ground, say so in the order notes at checkout and tell us what you are brewing on.
What does delivery cost?
Ireland is €4.95. The UK and Europe are €8.00.
Can I collect instead?
Yes, and collection is free. Choose it at checkout and we will email you when your coffee is ready to pick up.
