COFFEE

Where and when do you roast?

+

We roast all our coffee in-house at our roastery in Fitzroy North. We roast for Melbourne and Geelong customers on Wednesdays, and regional and interstate customers on Fridays.
All our coffee is roasted on a 12kg Probat coffee roaster.

Where do you buy your coffee from?

+

We focus the majority of our coffee buying on five producing countries; Colombia, Rwanda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Mexico.
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.

What's the difference between your 'espresso' and 'filter' roasts?

+

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.

How long will your coffee be fresh for?

+

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.

Can you grind the coffee for me?

+

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.
