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 Néstor Lasso's Ombligón variety from Colombia, and it drinks like a sweet shop in a cup. Expect candied fruit, strawberry sweetness, and a playful, almost confectionery character that's unusual for a washed Colombian coffee.
The Cup
The body is light to medium and silky, with a gentle, tea-like quality that keeps things delicate rather than heavy. Acidity is moderate and fruity rather than sharp — think ripe strawberries and soft citrus, not tart citrus punch. This is a clean, washed coffee, so there's no funk or ferment character, but the Ombligón variety brings a distinctive sweetness that leans toward candy and red fruit rather than the chocolate-and-caramel profile you might expect from Colombia.
Who This Is For
If you like fruit-forward filter coffees but want something sweeter and softer than a bright Ethiopian or tart Kenyan, this is a good middle ground. It's approachable without being boring.
If you prefer earthy, low-acid, or heavily chocolatey coffees, this won't be your style.
Best for: Filter drinkers who enjoy fruity sweetness without the intensity of natural-process coffees.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you the cleanest expression of that strawberry-candy sweetness and let the delicate body shine. Filter methods like Kalita Wave or Chemex work beautifully for the same reason — clarity and fruit separation. An Aeropress with a shorter brew time will give you a slightly rounder, more concentrated version if you want a bit more body without losing the fruit.

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.
Moon Roast Coffee
Moon Roast was founded in 2012 by Fran Bradshaw in Hampshire, building on a rich family heritage in the coffee trade that spans generations. What began as small-scale roasting in a garden shed quickly evolved into a respected speciality coffee roastery, driven by a passion for quality and craftsmanship. Set on a repurposed farm in the Hampshire countryside, Moon Roast reflects both its rural surroundings and its deep-rooted connection to coffee history, from Fran’s great-grandfather, a London coffee broker in the early 1900s, to his father, who developed iconic coffee blends. Through daily cupping and a relentless focus on quality, Fran continues this legacy, ensuring every roast embodies precision, care, and a commitment to exceptional coffee.
