Tamper Coffee – Sheffield

Drawing inspiration from New Zealand’s vibrant coffee scene, Tamper Coffee in Sheffield offers an eclectic menu, with coffee that never disappoints. Pair your brew with their sumptuous brunch options for a satisfying experience. Look out for the black & white painted building on the corner of Brown Lane & Arundel Street near Sheffield Hallam University City Campus.

Tamper has had a long standing relationship with fellow kiwi toasters Ozone. It was important that we always had that connection to back home in New Zealand, and have naturally grown together. While Ozone produce our Tamper blend, a blend designed around consistency & versatility across all the espresso based drinks black & white. 

We also use Has Bean coffee another established and reputable coffee roaster in the coffee community to deliver some exceptional guest espresso’s, batch and hand brews to showcase the ever growing range of single estate coffees across the world characterised by flavour,  process & origin. Obviously investing in Good coffee can also change the world, but Ozone are also certified B Corp, making a commitment to their business as a force for good, taking responsibility for people and the planet. Something that is also important to Tamper. 

So next time you are in Tamper, ask a staff member what they would recommend, if you want to break from the norm and explore the joys of a really good brew.
