When we think of fine art it brings to mind masterpieces like Satie’s “Gymnopedie No. 1″, Botticelli’s heavenly angels and the road that Robert Frost never took. Coffee roasting is an art just as historic and elaborate as any other: a mixture of intuition and manual hand response. It’s about the temperature and timing that flows through the life of the organic and rich complexion coffee contains and how it can change in an instant.

Selecting the coffees also uses the same amount of calculated artistry; samples go through a vigorous evaluation of aroma and taste. Sniffing and slurping coffees with silver spoons occurs hundreds of times a week at our Hobart based location. Our hand picked selection of coffee seeds contain over 800 chemical compounds, including acids and sugars that need to be transferred into balanced and harmonious liquid gold through our state of the art cast iron European roasting equipment.

Our discerning and artistic roasters minds and hands guide the green beans through a constants evaluation of colour, sounds, aromas and shapes while tumbling through our marvelous cast iron drum roaster. The cooling tray waits its turn to play its vital and final part in sealing the sweetness and nuances coffee was grown for.
