More than simply ‘another coffee roaster’

Iron & Fire has been built on a lifelong passion for all-things coffee. Following a substantial career in engineering and a decade spent in Melbourne where great coffee is a way of life, founder Kevin Burrows spent two years of vigorous experimentation focused on combining standard air roasting with a halogen energy input to allow for variable energy levels.  Kevin also worked with a specialist high end roaster manufacturer to develop customisation, modifying the technology to meet his bespoke specifications. 

Responsibility, fairness & innovation

As a rapidly expanding business, Iron & Fire is committed to grow with the same core company values it uses in its roasting process: responsibility, fairness, and innovation. These values are central to everything the company does from how it sources its beans, through to its approach to employment, staff development and the support of young people into the workplace. And finally to the experience of the end customer.

A long term view

Taking a long-term partnership approach, Iron & Fire provides its customers with on-going training and development support, guidance on the installation, maintenance and servicing of coffee machines, and dedicated support from a SCA-qualified account manager – not to mention, of course, the all-important supply of great coffee! 

Our mission to bring a more exciting and rewarding coffee experience to UK coffee drinkers whilst supporting those at the heart of the industry. In 2012, Kev made it his goal to bring something new to the table for coffee lovers in a way that aligns with his own values and now with a full team of experts, Iron and Fire has a range of perfectly roasted/crafted coffees, carefully sourced from across the globe. This is coupled with not only barista training but also an established engineering department to allow for the provision and maintenance of coffee related equipment to the UK hospitality industry.
