We roast your coffee in small batches after you place your order, rather than letting bags sit on a shelf. It means you get beans at their freshest.

We recommend letting light roasts rest for 10 days and medium roasts for 7 days from the roast date. Resting lets the flavour settle so your cup tastes balanced and aromatic.

Kelpie is a medium roast with tasting notes of dark chocolate, macadamia and berries. It is a washed, single-origin coffee grown in Far North Queensland, and it works well as an espresso or as the base for a milk coffee.

Our coffee is grown in Australia and the Philippines. Our Kelpie blend is a single-origin coffee from Far North Queensland.

This is the recipe we use ourselves: an 18g dose, a 36g yield, around 28 to 30 seconds, with the water at 92 to 94 degrees Celsius. For light roasts we use 18g in, 40g out, 33 to 35 seconds at 94 to 96 degrees. Our brew guide has the full setup.
