How does delivery work?
Every roaster on Coffee Nerdery ships your coffee directly to you, usually roasted to order. So delivery is charged per roaster, and free delivery thresholds apply per roaster too, not across your whole basket. Order from three roasters, and each delivery is counted separately.
We know that feels unfamiliar, because the ‘everything store’ trained us all to expect free shipping on everything. But that "free" was never really free; it’s paid for by scale that small roasters can’t replicate, and margins squeezed from suppliers. Coffee Nerdery takes nothing from your postage. Every penny goes to the roaster to cover the cost of getting your coffee to you. Paying it directly is a small act of support for an independent business doing one thing exceptionally well.

What to Expect
This is a clean Ethiopian natural from Bensa that manages to deliver all the fruity intensity you'd expect without tipping into funky territory. Strawberry and passionfruit lead, backed by a creamy body that's unusual for a light roast at this altitude.
The Cup
The body sits somewhere between silky and creamy, fuller than most Ethiopian light roasts but not heavy. Acidity is bright and citric, the kind that makes your mouth water rather than pucker. It's a clean natural, meaning you get the berry-forward fruit character and tropical passionfruit notes without the boozy ferment or funk that divides drinkers. The 1920–2020 metre altitude shows up as complexity and clarity, not just sharpness.
Who This Is For
If you love fruit-forward filter coffee but want something with a bit more body and sweetness than a typical washed Ethiopian, this delivers both. It's approachable enough for daily drinking but complex enough to keep your attention.
If you prefer chocolatey, low-acid coffees or find bright acidity challenging, this won't suit you.
Best for: Filter drinkers who want fruity Ethiopian character with a rounder, creamier mouthfeel.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you the cleanest expression of those strawberry and passionfruit notes with maximum clarity. Filter methods like Kalita Wave or Chemex work beautifully to balance the bright acidity with the creamy body. An Aeropress is your best option if you want to emphasise sweetness and body while keeping the fruit character intact.

I have 1 sack of this coffee and if it proves as popular as other Ethiopian coffees I’ve had then it won’t be about for long.

Ways to Brew
-
V60
V60 is a popular Japanese, cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper designed for brewing clean, aromatic, and flavorful coffee. Known for its 60-degree angle, large single hole, and internal spiral ribs, it optimises water flow for a precise, quick, and customisable brewing process, typically 2-3 minutes.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
Bell's Beans
Bell’s Beans is a family-run speciality coffee roastery based in Surrey, founded by Chris after leaving a career in engineering to pursue his passion for coffee. What began as home-roasting experiments on a small Gene Cafe machine soon evolved into a micro-roastery built alongside his home, where he combines an engineering mindset with a deep curiosity for the science and variability of coffee roasting. Bell’s Beans focuses exclusively on speciality-grade coffees sourced through ethical importers and producers who support farmers and their communities, with a preference for quality and transparency over scale. Intentionally remaining small and independent, the roastery prioritises craftsmanship, seasonal coffees, and selective partnerships, reflecting a philosophy of modesty while consistently refining its pursuit of excellent coffee.
