We swapped Wellington for Hawke's Bay in 2004, chasing better weather and the perfect cup of coffee. Now we roast it ourselves. Beans posted NZ-wide, or come in for a cup.
When we started, most NZ roasters had one token organic blend. We decided to roast nothing else.
How do you have it?
200g, 500g or 1kg, in whole beans, plunger, filter or espresso grind. Dispatched the next day (2 to 3 days if we're roasting yours).
Cafe Blend, Dark & Divine and our Swiss Water Decaf, 200g of each. The easy way to find your favourite.

It started with a tiny ad in The Dominion. Within four weeks we'd bought a cafe on Karamu Road, sold the house and packed up the kids.
We learnt to cook eggs, then to make an excellent coffee, then to roast our own beans. Chris taught himself to roast by asking customers how they liked it. I drew every bag, cup and tee, and painted the murals. Chris once told me he wasn't going to keep buying cafes just so I could paint murals.
For 15 years we roasted in a back unit on Omahu Road. In October 2020 we moved into central Hastings and opened the doors for the first time. Have a coffee made metres from the roaster, and take home a bag roasted right here.
