Our story

Hello, we’re Katy and Steve, the husband-and-wife team behind Lux Prima.
 

The idea began with a shared love of really good coffee and years spent trying to perfect the cup we make at home.  We started Lux Prima because we wanted to create the kind of coffee subscription we would genuinely choose ourselves. Fresh, carefully selected beans that taste brilliant, arrive when you need them and look beautiful sitting on the kitchen side.
 

Our professional backgrounds make us a pretty powerful combination for building the business. Katy has spent her career in PR and marketing, creating brands and finding the stories that make people care about them. Steve brings a background in engineering, along with the patience and attention to detail needed to make sure everything works exactly as it should. Katy leads on the brand and marketing, while Steve takes charge of the practical side of the business.
 

Together, we balance creativity with precision, which is also how we approach our coffee. We work with experienced roasters to choose coffees we genuinely enjoy drinking, focusing on flavour, freshness and quality without making any of it feel overly complicated.
 

The name Lux Prima means “first light” in Latin, inspired by that first cup of the day before the house fully wakes up. Our bird emblem represents the birdsong that comes with the morning light and the feeling we wanted the brand to capture.
 

We believe better coffee at home should be easy to enjoy. You should not need expert knowledge or expensive equipment, just fresh beans that have been chosen with care and suit the way you actually like to drink your coffee.
 

Lux Prima is the result of our shared obsession with getting that first cup right, and we are so excited to share it with you.
