About

Calendar Coffee roasts and retails specialty coffee from Galway, on Ireland's Atlantic west coast. The roaster takes its name seriously: the lineup rotates with harvests, and the branding leans into a colourful, seasonal identity that sets it apart from the quieter aesthetics that dominate the Irish specialty scene. Founded date and founder name are not publicly documented in available sources, but the roaster has drawn consistent attention from international coffee press since at least 2022.

Calendar publishes an annual impact report that breaks down the prices paid to producers, the company's environmental footprint, and its finances — a level of supply-chain transparency that remains uncommon among roasters of its scale. The Coffee Vine noted in November 2022 that the Galway operation had built a following around fresh, seasonal lots from the rugged west of Ireland, describing it as a 'colourful roaster' with a clear sense of identity.

The current catalogue draws from Peru, Rwanda, Colombia, and Ecuador, with a mix of espresso and filter offerings. Many lots are producer-named: Elizabeth Troyes (Peru, filter), Diever Galindez (Colombia, filter), Rwamatamu (Rwanda, espresso and filter), and a previously reviewed washed Alejandra Guzman from Ecuador. The year-round 'Teamwork' espresso sources from smallholder farmers across Latin America and anchors the lineup at the accessible end. Super Nature, a certified organic Peruvian espresso, and Big Nothing, a low-caffeine Colombian decaf, round out a range that balances accessibility with traceability.

In the Press

Third-party coverage of Calendar Coffee.

Coffee & Beans Review

Sprudge profiled Calendar Coffee under the headline 'In A Changing Culinary Landscape, Galway's Calendar Coffee Is Right On Time,' flagging the roaster's sustainability commitments and what the publication called a whimsical design approach as distinguishing factors in a crowded market. The Coffee Vine also covered the operation in late 2022, framing it as one of the more interesting voices coming out of the west of Ireland. A washed Ecuador lot — the Alejandra Guzman — received a standalone video review on YouTube, with the reviewer directing viewers to the Calendar site and crediting Sprudge for the introduction.

Calendar operates a cafe alongside its roasting and online retail, described by Sprudge as standing out through both its coffee quality and its atmosphere. The shop reflects the brand's visual character — expect the same colourful, considered aesthetic that carries across its packaging. Online, the full range ships direct through calendarcoffee.ie, where subscription and one-off bag options are available. Wholesale accounts and stockists are not listed publicly, but the roaster's Irish presence and press coverage suggest broader café distribution within the country.
