about us

Our Founder

Scott Martin

Unity Coffee was founded by Scott Martin, co-founder of Coffee Nation — the business that pioneered premium self-serve coffee in the UK and later became Costa Express, now a platform with 14,000 machines worldwide and part of a £3.9bn sale to Coca-Cola.

Now he’s back with Unity Coffee, a new kind of coffee brand built for today. A digital-first platform combining barista-quality coffee, fair pricing, and a seamless, no-friction experience.

This is Unity

A new coffee movement.

We’re a small team (for now) of coffee people who’ve had enough of overpriced, poor-quality self-service coffee. Let’s be honest — it hasn’t been great for a while.

The thing is, we helped build this industry. Now we’re back with a new brand to fix it.

We know what actually matters — great quality, fair prices, and a better all-round experience.

Our aim is simple: bring barista-quality coffee to where you are, at a price that feels fair — and reward your loyalty through our app.

That’s it. Let’s get on with it.

Our Coffee

Great beans, great coffee.

We source our unique blend from Lincoln & York — the UK’s largest family-run roastery, with over 30 years of experience behind some of the world’s best-known brands.

Crafted with beans from Brazil and Central America, the Unity blend delivers a smooth, balanced cup every time.

Brazil brings body and notes of chocolate and nuts, while Central America adds a subtle lift of stone fruit.

Roasted specifically for our machines, it’s designed to extract perfectly for consistent quality, aroma, and taste in every cup.

The result? Proper coffee, brewed with precision.

Our Technology

We just hit fast forward.

Our pride and joy — the Unity Coffee machine — packed with some of the best coffee tech in the world.

With built-in payment and QR scanning, there’s no queuing while your coffee gets cold.

We offer a great range of drinks, including two matchas and hot chocolate from our friends at Blendsmiths — with more on the way.

And the app? A must-have. Smart, dynamic loyalty tailors offers to what you actually love, sending rewards straight to your phone. No stamps, no forgotten cards — just better coffee.
