Roasting

One key to excellent coffee is in the roasting ……

  • We hand roast each coffee individually to its peak shade and flavour
  • We add NOTHING to our premium beans - they are selected for their unique flavours and roasted expertly to bring out subtle tastes and aromas
  • We maintain profile roasting logs to record the ideal degree of roast to extract the most optimum flavour for each origin
  • Our beans are cooled ('quelched') using only air passed over the beans. Other roasters use water to cool their beans, which adds water weight and compromises the chemical stability of the bean. You get the benefit of a bean with longer shelf life, and you're not buying water weight!
  • We only roast to order – we never have beans sitting on shelves waiting to be sold

While we artisan roast, we can still support large orders and produce the freshest hand-crafted coffee available

  • Using only our large roaster, we can roast approximately 1,500kg of coffee per day
  • Our small roaster will roast up to 180kg per day
  • Our industrial grinders and packing machine easily keep up with our roasters

Good coffee does not end with the roasting ……

  • We “cup” each batch before blending the roasted beans and then “cup” again to ensure that the blend has created the desired result
  • Our beans are packaged in bags with de-gassing valves to further ensure that the freshness and quality is optimal
  • If we grind, we grind to the customers’ specifications depending on how the coffee will be prepared
  • We deliver our coffee to the customer as quickly as possible after roasting so it can be enjoyed at its optimum freshness
