About Harmony Coffee, Specialty Roaster in York

Harmony is a nano roastery owned and operated by Ben Rowe, as part of his company Just Bru Ltd.

Ben has experience working in almost every sector of the specialty coffee industry, most recently finishing his job as a coffee roaster for Kiss The Hippo, shortly before starting Harmony. Ben has a passion for barista competition, which he uses as a medium to extend his own knowledge and dedication to the craft. His journey has led him to consult on many exciting projects, including for the University of York, that you can read about here.

As of 2024, he has won 11 open competitions across various distinctions. He also placed 3rd in the SCA UK Latte Art Championship in 2021, narrowly missed out on representing England at the World Aeropress Championships in 2024, and has been a Semi-Finalist in the SCA UK Barista Championship, after winning the heat at Bristol in February 2022 against a strong field of highly talented contenders with a score of 214.5. Latte art is still close to our hearts – read latte art tips from our friend Ben Lewis, UK Latte Art Champion.

Harmony was born out of a desire to share great coffee with great people. It was a chance to build something that stays true to the values which we see as the most important pillars of the coffee world: Traceability, Quality, Ethics and Partnership. Our coffee stays true to these values, delivering exceptional quality, ethically sourced for very reasonable pricing.

We're constantly on a mission to improve all aspects of our service, whether that's establishing new, great farm level connections, buying higher quality coffee or offering more value to our amazing customers - we want Harmony to be a coffee company that you can trust. Interested in working with us in a wholesale capacity? We'd be thrilled to hear from you!

As of 2025, we are so thrilled to officially launch the Harmony Coffee Subscription, which you can find here. We also offer a gift coffee subscription and an office coffee subscription.
