Sumatra Coffee
Punchy, powerful and simply irresistible
If you have never tried Sumatran coffees previously, here's a hot tip - give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
There is nothing else like a Sumatran (or perhaps Sulawesi).
The unique wet-hulled processing method amplifies the flavors and complexity by a factor of 10x.
Intense, powerful and always rewarding.
After 40+ years in coffee, I still sit back and wonder - why is it these unique coffees from Sumatra remain utterly memorable?
Because they are wild, crazy, mad flavor powerhouses.
It's really that simple.
Etched into memory banks as delicious and hitting the spot like few other coffee can.
Perhaps it's the prodigious syrupy body, or the sweet spicy complexity.
Whatever it is, these Sumatran coffees are big, bold and bloody beautiful.
At first sip you may not be convinced. Keep on drinking and you will be hooked.
Punching well above other origins.

How we roast your coffee
20 years of 6hrs a day, every week day for 51 weeks a year. That's a lot of batches, upwards of 100,000 and a level of experience unmatched in the Australian coffee market.
The same person who roasted that very first batch is exactly the same person that roasts every single batch today. Another feature rarely matched for brands our size.
Roasting coffee is not about freaky talent or secrets passed down through generations. It's only ever about practice, practice and more practice just like a golfer or tennis champ, there are no shortcuts or innovative tools and systems to help jump ahead of the competition.
This is how we produce the best tasting and most consistent coffee in Australia. Superior quality ingredients, expert level experience, the most advanced infrastructure and maturity of processes.
There are many different factors at play when roasting and we target sweetness, acidity, flavor, body and finish to generate the best balance across all those competing elements.
Our espresso style is a medium roast suitable for premium cafes that care about quality. Filter style roasts are lighter to meet the demands of modern alternative brewing methods to retain fruit-forward complexity.
What is most important?
Answer is they all are. It didn't take a pandemic to learn why speed, freshness, quality and value are all equally important.
Heck no. We worked that out way back in 2007 as the original pioneer of online premium quality fresh roasted coffees to Australian coffee lovers.
We get it, running out of coffee is a nightmare scenario nobody wishes to experience.
With 16 years and almost 1 million successful parcel deliveries under our belts, we know a thing or two about what it takes to run a high performance and high speed coffee supply operation.
To ensure our coffees are crazy fresh, barely hours old when they ship out the door, it requires significant scale and resources working rapidly to roast, pack, label, grind, parcel and ship.
It's an eco-system we have continued to build and optimize for 16 years, measuring our performance in minutes, not hours and certainly not days like some of our competitors.
Nobody can guarantee or predict delivery timeframes, but we can assure you of our commitment to ship fresh roasted coffees that have been prepared to precise quality standards at a competitive price and always processed with a critical sense of urgency.
