OUR STORY
SHOT Belfast was born from a simple belief: Belfast deserves world-class coffee. Not coffee that's “good enough” — coffee that's exceptional.

THE BEGINNING
My mother loved coffee. Every day, the aroma of fresh coffee filled our house. That smell became part of my childhood — a comfort, a ritual, a connection to something deeper.
For the last 20 years, I've been travelling the world, always searching for that perfect cup. Every country, every culture, every coffee tradition — I wanted to understand it all.
Then I found Finca Jerusalén. When I tasted their coffee, I knew this was it. This was the coffee I'd been searching for my whole life.

“Built from obsession,
not a business plan.”
BUILT FROM TRAVEL & OBSESSION
After years of searching and tasting coffee across Europe, SHOT Belfast was created to bring truly exceptional lots home.
This wasn't built from a business plan — it was built from obsession. Going place to place, tasting the best, and refusing to settle for average.
The reason is simple: to deliver rare “Outstanding” specialty lots (SCA 90–96) to Belfast and make them accessible — online and by local pickup.
For you, that means better flavour clarity, real traceability, and coffees you won't find on a normal shelf. Every bag has been chosen for quality, not price.

Belfast's first SCA 92 and 93-rated specialty coffee.
Anaerobic natural processing. Flavour profiles you won't find anywhere else.
Direct from Finca Jerusalén. No chemicals, just pure dedication.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
We never compromise. From bean selection to the final pour, excellence guides every decision we make.
We believe Belfast deserves world-class coffee. We're not afraid to do things differently to make that happen.
Twenty years of exploring coffee cultures around the world. The search for the perfect cup never ends.

THE SOURCE
High in the Honduran mountains, at 1,300–1,600 metres altitude, Jose and his family have been growing exceptional coffee for generations.
