CREATIVE THINKING TIME FOR A COFFEE... Everyone wants a good coffee and Dusty Ape Coffee founders Phil Buckley and Evan Metz love coffee so much that they hand roast coffee beans themselves. Dusty Ape Coffee is a specialist artisan coffee company based in Hilperton near Trowbridge and is the county’s only commercial coffee roaster. Dusty Ape produce a selection of expertly blended fresh coffee for both the B2B and B2C markets. Founded with a real passion to produce high quality, affordable coffee the team at Dusty Ape are continually striving for coffee perfection. They select the highest quality 100% Arabica beans, hand roast them in small batches and then deliver coffee fresh to customers (usually the same week roasted). Each batch is carefully profiled to get the best tasting coffee from the beans and to ensure consistency time and time again. Phil said: “We recognise that there is a limit to how many cup of coffee you can drink in one day – so at Dusty Ape we make sure that each cup tastes amazing.” The company’s commitment to coffee excellence has gained it many plaudits and awards, including a Taste of the West for their Molten Toffee blend. Dusty Ape is also only one of 16 roasters across the South West to be included in the first South West Independent Coffee Guide. Dusty Ape coffee is available for anyone who loves coffee, whether that’s at home, in the office, in cafes, restaurants or hotels. It is available to purchase online at
