BLACKUP COFFEE began in 2006 as Coffee Factory, a small roastery in Busan's Nampo-dong district, and has since grown to nine locations, including Yangsan, Ulsan and Geoje. The roastery sources specialty coffee through direct trade and trusted partners, roasting to bring out each origin's character while keeping the cup sweet and balanced.

Founded in Hong Kong, Knockbox Coffee Company was born out of a passion for exceptional specialty-grade coffee and the quest for rare coffees from around the world. Guided by the philosophy that "Coffee Means the World to Us," the roastery seeks to honour the connections between people, place, and process through every cup. They place deep emphasis on a hands-on approach to sourcing, a commitment to direct trade and sustainability, and shining a spotlight on distinctive coffees from lesser-known origins, including Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Hawaii, and beyond.

Born in Bermondsey, London, WatchHouse is known for thoughtful spaces where coffee, food, design, and hospitality come together — an approach they call Modern Coffee. Named after the historic 19th century watch house beside St Mary Magdalen’s Church, home to their first House, they are rooted in craft and quality, sourcing seasonal coffees through transparent, long-term partnerships.

His Majesty the Coffee (HMC) is a specialty micro-roastery that was established in 2013 in Monza, Italy.

HMC is dedicated to serving high-quality single-origin coffees as well as creating flavoursome blends with some of the finest beans the world has to offer.
