Only thoughts are that owning a roastery means it’s probably best to run it at capacity so the diffusion line is for some cafes and probably concession cafes in big offices etc where they are marketed as ‘premium’ even though they are not.
Assembly is the premium stuff that the average coffee drinker would never pay for at £16 for 200g. That said the espresso blends for cafes are mostly Brazilian based so possibly not a huge increase per Kg over Assembly.
Just my theory not facts.
Mr_Smyth-
not sure why i bothered to look into this, but Allpress has no relationship to either Volcano or Assembly, so far as I can see.
Allpress was sold to Asahi in 2021.
Volcano is the supermarket friendly brand of Assembly Coffee, which is what @hangedup said upthread.

Can you explain the point on Allpress/assembly?
For home espresso I’ve found Allpress to be the best quality/value in London. No association, but they’ve got 20% off till tonight with code SEPTEMBER20.
