WE’RE HIRING.
FULL-TIME BARISTA / BLACKWOOD.

We’re looking for a full-time barista to join our team in Blackwood.

Someone who cares about quality, enjoys working with people and takes pride in what they do.

Experience is great, but attitude, curiosity and a willingness to learn matter just as much.

We’re an independent coffee roastery with a down to earth approach to everything we do. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.

Interested? Drop us a message or send your CV to [email protected]

FIRST LOOK — CARDIFF.

A first glimpse inside our new home in the city.

No fuss. No pretence. Straight lines and exceptional coffee.

We’ve been working away behind the scenes to bring Big Dog to Cardiff, and it’s nearly time to welcome you in.

Coffee roasted in South Wales. Served in the capital.

Doors open Monday 12th October! See you on Churchill Way.

NEW SITE.
SAME PARTNERSHIP.

Barry Sidings → Lido Ponty.

Ynysangharad War Memorial Park opened in 1923 as Pontypridd’s permanent war memorial and shaped by the town’s mining heritage. The Lido followed in 1927, largely funded by the Miners’ Welfare Fund, giving the community a place to swim, meet and spend their downtime.

Nearly 100 years later, it’s still a place built around community.

We’ve worked with Jamie, Ruby £ the Barry Sidings team for years. Now, as they take on Caffi Lido, we’re proud to be coming with them.

Roaster's Choice: October

This month, we’ve kept something special aside exclusively for our subscribers.

Grown on the Miramar plot at Los Nogales farm in El Salvador, this lot has undergone an anaerobic soaked process, creating a vibrant and distinctive cup profile.

Expect orange, guava and wh***ey.

Juicy. Boozy. Complex. Properly different.

We’ve only secured a limited amount of this lot, so it won’t be joining our usual coffee line-up. If you want to brew Los Nogales, you’ll need to subscribe.

October’s Roaster’s Choice. Limited coffee. Subscribers only.

A visit from Colombia.

Last week we welcomed Santiago from Lozana to the roastery before he headed back home to Colombia.

We spent the morning talking coffee, looking at how Cabresto has grown since joining our line-up, and—most importantly—what comes next.

There are some seriously exciting micro lots coming our way in November. Small volumes, distinctive profiles and coffees that showcase just how much is happening at origin.

Relationships like this are a huge part of what we want Big Dog to be about: getting closer to the people behind the coffee, understanding their work and bringing more of their story into every cup.

November is looking very good for coffee at Big Dog!

Weekly check-in.

A new experience for Cory this week as we take him through one of the most important parts of what we do — our weekly roasting quality checks.

Coffee changes. Green coffee ages, environmental conditions shift, and small changes during roasting can have a big impact in the cup. That’s why we regularly cup our production roasts, checking sweetness, acidity, balance, development and consistency against where we want each coffee to be.

It gives us the feedback we need to make small adjustments to our roast profiles and, most importantly, make sure the coffee leaving the roastery tastes as good this week as it did the week before!

Quality isn’t a one-off check. It’s a weekly habit.

NEW COFFEE
RARE: PERU, MIRAFLORES
With a bright upfront fruity acidity and a lingering sweetness, this coffee works beautifully for all brewing methods.

Miraflores began in 2002, when Manuel Rojas and Esther Requejo set out to grow coffee sustainably on more than 100 hectares in Peru's Amazonas region, chosen for its altitude and soil. They first established Typica, later laying out a plan to plant unique specialty varieties by elevation, each matched to the ground that suited it best.

This Bourbon is grown at 1850m. Ripe cherries are selected at 18–23° Brix and held in water for 12 hours before washing and floating. Pulped beans then ferment anaerobically underwater for 72 hours in valve-sealed GrainPro bags, before a final wash and slow drying in solar parabolic dryers for up to 25 days. A final hand-sort follows before shipment.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

We’re proud to sponsor Blackwood U12s for the season ahead.

Big Dog started here, and as we grow, we want that growth to mean something beyond the coffee we serve. Supporting grassroots sport is about investing back into the community that supports us. Helping create opportunities, friendships and experiences for the next generation underpins what we do.

Seeing the team wearing Big Dog on their shirts makes us incredibly proud.

Here’s to a great season, boys. 🖤❤️💛

NEW FACES. SAME BIG DOG.

Roisin & Cory have officially joined the full-time team.

Roisin will be plying the people of Blackwood with incredible coffee and, in the near future, heading up training & development across Big Dog.

Cory makes the move from part-time to full-time at the roastery. Roasting coffee, packing orders and keeping production moving. All the while, providing a questionable amount of strong 80s playlists.

Both bring experience, creative flair and plenty of honest talk. We’re proud to have them with us as we continue to build!
