The Roastery
Roasting
Our family has been roasting coffee since the early 1980s. We even built our own roaster to get started back in 1983. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective. Years later, after developing a passion and knowledge for Italian coffee traditions, we found a vintage Italian 30kg Petroncini coffee roaster in Basel, Switzerland. In early 2006 it arrived in New Zealand. We knew this classic Italian roaster would produce beautiful soft roasts, unequalled by modern roasters on the market. A decade later, we had reached capacity so invested in a new 60kg Petroncini. Now, we roast just over five tonnes of coffee per week. We have our smaller 30kg and 10kg roasters for specialty coffee and single origin batches. And along with our 60kg roaster, we can roast 100kg of quality coffee every 15 minutes.
