As featured in
Coffee is a crop. Like cereals, nuts and spices, it can grow moulds that make toxins, often in warm, humid conditions.
After picking, beans must be dried below 12.5% moisture. Leave them damp too long and ochratoxin A can start to form. Damp warehouses re-wet them too: above 80% humidity, stored coffee soaks up water again. Roasting destroys most of that toxin. Not all of it.
UK law caps ochratoxin A at 5 micrograms per kilo in roasted coffee, but does not require roasters to test against that limit. We sent ours to an independent lab and publish the full report.

Independently Lab-Tested
600+ pesticides screened
We don't ask you to take our word for it. We send our coffee to an independent, accredited lab and publish the results in full.
The lab, P.H. s.r.l. (part of the TÜV SÜD Group), screened our beans for mould, mycotoxins, heavy metals and 600+ pesticides. Its tests pick up ochratoxin A down to 0.3 parts per billion, aflatoxins to 0.5, lead and cadmium to 10 and arsenic to 50. Ours came in below every one. Pesticide residues sat within legal limits.
The full report is yours to read. See the science behind our testing or review our published lab test results.
You pay for coffee you can check. You get specialty-grade coffee, independently lab-tested with the results published, so you know what's in your bag. Subscriptions start from as little as 61p a cup.
Here's what you're paying for:
Specialty-grade beans - chosen for flavour, not price. Independent lab testing - screened for mould, mycotoxins, heavy metals and 600+ pesticides, with the full report online. Small-batch roasting - roasted fresh in London for a richer flavour. Your morning ritual - great-tasting coffee you can drink with confidence.
Balance Coffee is built for people who want to know what's in their cup.
We built Balance Coffee so you can check what's in the bag.
Independent lab testing - an ACCREDIA-accredited lab (P.H. s.r.l., part of the TÜV SÜD Group) screened our coffee for 600+ pesticides, plus mould, mycotoxins and heavy metals. Ochratoxin A is measured down to 0.3 parts per billion, aflatoxins to 0.5 and lead to 10. Ours sat below each mark, and pesticide residues fell within legal limits. Read the full lab report.
Climate-controlled storage - we keep our beans in controlled conditions to protect them from damp and mould growth.
High-altitude farms - cooler climates mean slower growth and richer flavour.
Specialty-grade and freshly roasted - roasted in London, with the roast date on every bag.
Built for your morning ritual: coffee that tastes great, with the lab results to back it.
Our 7-step process runs from high-altitude farm to published lab report.
If this isn't the cleanest, best-tasting coffee you've ever had, we'll refund you. Full price. No questions. You've been drinking untested coffee long enough to know the difference when you taste it.
