We roast all our coffee in-house at our roastery in Abbotsford, Melbourne. Our primary production day is Wednesday, but we roast to order on other weekdays as required. All our coffee is roasted on a 12kg Probat coffee roaster.

We buy coffee from five producing countries; Guatemala, Colombia, Rwanda, Kenya, and Ethiopia.

While there are other countries that grow wonderful coffees, as a small roaster, we chose to focus on a handful of countries so we can deepen our relationships with growers there, and make more impact in those areas.

Depending on the country and region, we work with a handful of import partners to facilitate financing, transportation, and storage of the coffees we buy.

All of our coffees are roasted for either espresso or filter brewing.

Espresso roasts are slightly longer, darker profiles that set the coffee up properly for brewing on an espresso machine or stovetop moka pot.

Filter roasts are shorter, lighter profiles and are intended for brewing on pour over, AeroPress, plunger, or a batch brew method.

It’s best to brew coffee beans within six weeks of when they’re roasted, or within two weeks of when the bag is opened. (The roast date is on a white sticker on the underside of the bag.)

Coffee beans keep best at room temperature in the bag they’re packed in – never in the fridge.

Due to the near immediate loss in quality once ground, we only sell our coffee in whole bean form.

For more information about this choice, please read our Field Notes blog post on the subject.

There's no one right way to brew any particular coffee, but there are a handful of simple techniques you can adopt to ensure your coffee at home is both delicious and consistently so. We've written briefly about them here.

The key takeaways?

1. Buy great beans.
2. Keep them fresh.
3. Buy a grinder.
4. Use a recipe and scales.
5. Sit back and enjoy.
