How We Ensure Coffee Roasting Quality and Consistency All Year Round

At Carlini Coffee Company, everything we do is driven by one goal: delivering exceptional coffee with unmatched consistency. From the design of our roastery to the way we store our beans, every detail is engineered to protect flavour and quality — no matter the season.

🌦 Roasting Coffee in Melbourne’s Unpredictable Climate

Melbourne is famous for its four seasons in one day weather patterns. For coffee roasters, these rapid temperature shifts present a serious challenge.

Temperature control is the most sensitive aspect of roasting. Just a few seconds too long in the roasting chamber can mean the difference between a good cup and a truly great one. Fluctuating ambient temperatures can affect:

• Drop temperature of each batch

• Post‑roast cooling speed

• Degassing periods

🏭 Why Most Roasteries Struggle — and How We’re Different

Many roasting facilities operate in open warehouses, exposing equipment to dust, pollutants, and extreme temperature changes. This forces operators to constantly adjust settings to compensate for environmental variables.

At Carlini Coffee Company, we’ve taken a different approach. Our roastery is purpose‑built to eliminate environmental inconsistencies and protect bean quality.

💨 Clean Air, Clean Flavour

We’ve installed specialised venting systems to ensure only fresh, filtered air is used for combustion and airflow through our roasting equipment. This prevents contamination from dust, air particles, and pollutants often found in industrial areas.

❄️ Precision Climate Control

Our facility is equipped with large‑scale cooling systems that maintain a steady 22°C — even when Melbourne’s summer temperatures soar to 40°C. This stable environment ensures every roast develops exactly as intended.

📦 Specialised Green Bean Storage

We store our green coffee beans in low‑humidity, temperature‑controlled rooms at a maximum height of two metres from the floor. This prevents heat exposure during warmer months. We’re proud to be the only medium or large coffee company in Australia to use this method — while others store beans high on racks where it can be up to 15°C warmer.

🥶 Cool Room Systems for Sensitive Products

Our cool rooms keep roasted beans and other sensitive products at a constant, controlled temperature, preserving their flavour and freshness for longer.

✅ The Carlini Coffee Quality Advantage

These measures create a clear gap between our quality standards and the rest of the industry. By controlling every environmental factor — from air purity to storage temperature — we ensure our coffee remains consistently exceptional, all year round.
