About the Coffee
At Extract, we’re specialists in curating flavour. We’re constantly seeking the finest beans and tweaking parameters to create that perfect cup profile.
Cast Iron, our darkest roast espresso, packs a real punch of big bold sweet flavours that pairs perfectly with milk. Just like our cast iron Probat roasters, this house coffee delivers consistency and reliability shot after shot, with big cocoa flavours and a subtle malt loaf finish.
Welcoming a New Season of Cast Iron
The bold, comforting coffee you know & love, refined by our specialist team to be better than ever. As part of our mission to continuously improve and elevate our coffees, this new era of Cast Iron not only delivers on flavour but also drives positive, sustainable change within our supply chain.
As our darkest roast espresso, Cast Iron continues to pack a real punch of big, bold, sweet flavours that cut beautifully through milk.
More about Cast Iron and Cauvery Peak Estate
For this next chapter, we have returned to Cauvery Peak Estate in India. A leading producer in the speciality coffee market in India.
While India is still an emerging origin within the speciality coffee market, the coffees coming out of this region are world-class. We are very proud to partner with this incredible estate, helping to cement their reputation in the global speciality market.
Located at the summit of the Sheveroy Hills in Tamil Nadu, this 400 hectare estate faces unique microclimate challenges. The land relies entirely on monsoon rainfall, which makes for unique challenges but emphasises the importance of the work the estate is carrying out in sustainable development.
Managed by Mr Ramesh for more than 70 years, this estate invests heavily in environmental conservation, coffee quality and worker welfare. By choosing Cast Iron, you are helping to support their vital work, ensuring this estate continues to thrive for generations to come.
Meet the Roasters
Cast Iron is an ode to our vintage roaster, Betty, a 1955 Cast Iron Probat Roaster found in Cardiff in 2010 and lovingly brought back to life through a series of restorations by Co-Founder David Faulkner.
Betty's most recent restoration throughout 2018 and 2019 made further improvements on her efficiency and will keep this iconic machine running for many more years to come.
