Find out about the best coffee and breakfast pairings.

View Our Coffee

Whether you are looking for a coffee to pair with croissants or the best coffee for a full english breakfast - we have got the perfect pairing for your breakfast.

When it comes to breakfast, are you a sweet or savoury fan? Or do you like to mix and match? Wherever your tastes lie, our coffee breakfast ideas will show you your ideal companion to the most important meal of the day.

There’s a lot to be said on the brilliance of wine tasting and the skill of matching a glass of wine with its dream dish. But have you thought about matching your coffee to your croissant? We show you exactly which coffee you should be drinking in the morning – whether you’re in the mood for a traditional fry-up or looking for something a bit more exotic. Discover our breakfast coffee pairings below.

Coffee and Kedgeree

First of all we looked at kedgeree. This dish is made up of cooked, flaked fish, rice, parsley, hard-boiled eggs, curry powder, butter or cream, and sometimes sultanas. Some reports say that the dish was first enjoyed in Scotland, before being introduced to India by the Scottish troops. Others believe that it originated as you would expect, in India, and brought to the UK by the British colonials. Either way this is a breakfast to set you up for the day ahead. If you’re a coffee fan, go for a cup of Ethiopian coffee. It has a clean, fruity and refined taste, which compliments the strong flavours in the dish.

Coffee For Continental Breakfast

A continental start to the day means that the coffee must be of the highest quality. Sumatra has an earthy, full bodied and rich flavour, with a smoky finish. It also has a subtle ripe fruit acidity and an unusual liquorice twist, making it ideal for the modest croissant.

Coffee for a cooked breakfast

The best coffee to match a cooked breakfast would be our Brazilian batch. It has a complex flavour, filled with notes of syrup, treacle, rich chocolate and peanut, as well as a hint of marzipan and vanilla. The velvety rich sweetness in the cup really compliments the savoury ingredients in the dish.

Pouring Drink On Dining Table

Coffee and Muesli

Muesli is the best choice if you have a jam-packed day ahead of you. The combination of the oats, dried fruits, nuts and grains will give you the energy you need, while the mixture of textures with sweet and savoury flavours makes it taste good, too! To match this winning combination we have paired it with El Salvador, a complex coffee with notes of caramel, butter, toffee, almonds, hazelnut and chocolate. It’s heaven in a cup!

Coffee With Breakfast

Coffee for spicy burritos

If you’re feeling adventurous and you fancy a breakfast consisting of spicy burritos our Kenyan coffee is the best coffee for your breakfast. It has a distinctive citrus fruit acidity with dark flavours and a medium body. It combines a unique mix of smooth, milky mouth feel and acidity.

Smoked salmon royal and coffee

When it comes to smoked salmon for breakfast the best coffee combination is a Colombian coffee. Our Exelso coffee is mild and nutty with notes of hazelnut and almond - yet sweet, often with a slightly winey and fruity acidity. It goes perfectly with smoked salmon royal.
