Artwork

Calon, Welsh for heart. This label honours the Gresford Colliery Disaster lift shaft. It’s a respectful tribute to a defining chapter in local history, carrying remembrance and solidarity into the bag design.

About the coffee

Calon is built for comfort and balance, blending the sweetness and body of Brazilian natural lots with the clarity from high-grown washed Ugandan coffee. The result is easy to drink but still layered: marshmallow sweetness up front, then chocolate and toasted nut through the finish. Reliable, approachable, and suited to daily brewing.

Why it tastes like this

  • Brazilian natural coffee → chocolate sweetness and rounded body
  • Burundi washed coffee at higher altitude → cleaner structure and lift
  • Blend design across two origins → balanced cup with soft complexity

What Our Customers Say

How are you making your Calon?

Choose your brew method and get a dialled-in starting recipe.

Step 01

Choose your brew method

Calon is a Blended Speciality Coffee

This profile is built by combining two processing styles in one blend: natural coffee for sweetness and body, washed coffee for clarity and structure. Each method contributes something different to extraction and cup balance.

The natural component adds depth, texture and a rounder mouthfeel, while the washed component keeps flavours cleaner and more defined. That balance helps the cup feel fuller without becoming heavy or muddy.

For espresso, this gives you a forgiving but precise profile when dialling in at home. You get sweetness and body at standard ratios, with enough clarity to fine-tune grind and yield. For practical setup tips, read our espresso dial-in guide.

First purchase from Wrexham Bean Co. - I usually order online from another company but fancied a change! I am really impressed! Out of the 2 that I ordered this one is my favourite! Really gorgeous flavour! Would reorder & recommend to others!

Enjoying my continued use of Calon. Smooth taste with zero bitterness. I constantly sing its praises. Nothing better than a cup of Wrexham in the morning.

i have had the Calon and the African Moon. i love them both, i have been using it in a Wacaco Pipimoka, my very cofficianado colleague uses it for pour over. i love that this is local too, im from Buckley. one thing to note is that you do not note down the roast ?

The thick crema this produced made for a tasty latte. WBCs coffee honestly sets me up for the day. I can’t recommend this blend enough.
