Rio Magdalena

A lifelong passion for food, wine and coffee eventually led Alan Phillips to roast speciality coffee by the sea in County Meath. Alan is a certified member of the European Speciality Coffee association, he learnt his craft from one of the best in the business, training under Kees Kraakmann of Amsterdam's Keppler Coffee. And when he launched The Studio it was very much in line with Kees' ethos of quality and consistency.

Alan explains, as roast volume grows, quality tends to decline, so we manage this problem by only roasting in small batches. Our green beans are all highly rated speciality grade, ethically sourced from farms in  Ethiopia, Brazil, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia and Peru and roasted as single origin lots on our 15kg Giesen. 

The Studio's sustainable approach to coffee sourcing is mirrored at our roastery which is largely powered by renewal energy. Our coffees and cold brew achieved numerous UK Great Taste Awards in 2018 and 2019, 3 coffees honored at the Irish Food awards and Best in Ireland award by McKenna Guide 2019 and 2020.
