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
Fanatic is Magnetic North's house blend built for comfort and consistency. Brazilian pulped natural meets Guatemalan washed in a medium-dark espresso roast that leans into chocolate, caramel, and roasted hazelnut — the kind of coffee that works with milk and doesn't ask much of you in return.
The Cup
This is a heavy-bodied, low-acidity coffee with a dense, creamy mouthfeel. The Brazilian component brings nutty sweetness and syrupy texture, while the Guatemalan side adds a touch of caramel and balances the blend without introducing brightness. It's clean and straightforward — no funk, no surprises. The roast level softens any sharp edges and pushes chocolate and toffee to the front.
Who This Is For
If you drink your coffee with milk and want something reliable that tastes good without fuss, this will suit you. It's approachable, forgiving, and built for everyday drinking.
If you prefer bright, fruity filter coffees or want to taste distinct origin character, this isn't the one. The roast and blend design prioritise comfort over complexity.
Best for: Milk-based espresso drinkers who want a dependable, chocolatey cup every morning.
How to Brew This Coffee
Espresso is the natural home for this blend — the body and sweetness hold up well under pressure, and it's built to cut through milk. A Moka pot will give you a concentrated, rich brew that mirrors the espresso character without the machine. If you prefer a slower cup, a French press emphasises the syrupy body and lets the chocolate and hazelnut notes sit front and centre.

ABOUT THE PRODUCERS
Our Brazil component now comes from SanCoffee, a speciality coffee cooperative founded in 2000 in the Campo das Vertentes region of Minas Gerais. Caramelo is one of the cooperative’s core coffees, produced using pulped natural processing and built around the classic characteristics that make Brazilian coffees so dependable in espresso blends: notes of nuts, toffee and molasses, with a dense, creamy body. The coffee is sourced exclusively from cooperative members in the same region each year, helping deliver consistency from harvest to harvest while maintaining full traceability back to the producers involved.
What drew us to SanCoffee goes beyond the cup profile. The cooperative was created with a long-term focus on quality, transparency and sustainability, and today works with growers across the region to improve access to speciality coffee markets and increase returns at farm level. SanCoffee estimates that around 85% of the FOB value returns to producers after export and logistics costs, and the cooperative has also invested heavily in environmental and social initiatives, including becoming carbon neutral in 2020 and supporting smaller growers through its Beyond Borders programme. It’s a coffee that fits Fanatic well: approachable, versatile and consistent, but backed by a supply chain with genuine substance behind it.
Our Guatemala component comes from the El Cabro plot on the Finca La Bolsa farm.
Finca La Bolsa was bought by Jorge Vides, a distinguished medical professional, in 1958. Prior to this, the land was not used for coffee production. Jorge won numerous awards for coffee production and for his services to the Huehuetenango region, and the main hospital in the coffee-growing community was named after him. In 2002, La Bolsa competed in the Cup of Excellence competition and placed second, scoring 94.98.
La Bolsa sits between two mountains, which provide a very stable, humid microclimate. Combined with the limestone-rich soils, this gives the coffee a unique profile, with a rich, syrupy body and plenty of sweetness.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label. These are beans with the sweetness, depth and structure to pull a rich, balanced shot under pressure, from chocolatey blends to fruit-forward single origins. Every coffee here earned its place by how it actually performs in the basket. New to pulling shots? Read our espresso brewing basics.
-
Moka
Coffees curated for the moka pot's concentrated, stovetop intensity, each assessed for how it stands up to high-heat brewing. We look for robust body and low-acidity sweetness that carry through this method, delivering the strong, espresso-adjacent cup the moka pot is known for. First time brewing? Read how to use a moka pot.
-
French Press
A collection of coffees matched to full-immersion brewing, where a metal filter lets body and oils come through in full. We've analysed each one for the weight and richness that suit the press, giving you bold, textured, deeply satisfying cups. If you like your coffee full-bodied, these beans are chosen for you. New to it? See our guide to French press brewing.
