Our Coffee Cuppings & Coffee Menu Development

At The Roastery, a visit offers you the opportunity to meet our skilled team comprising of baristas, roasters, engineers and our wholesale support managers whilst witnessing our operations in full swing.

Coffee roasting is a beautiful art and science that we undertake with love and passion, and we take pleasure in sharing this experience with visitors who get to see us in action using our Giesen W30, W15 and soon to arrive W60 Drum Roaster to hand-pack, seal and grind our roasts.

If ever you feel the need to change your coffee menu, or to try something different, we can arrange a cupping session for you and your team to identify your new favourite and adjust your future training and support program accordingly.

Book Your Cupping Session

We highly recommend our coffee cupping and tasting session for all new wholesale partners as it is a perfect way to know more about your operation and understand the best coffee suitable for your business.

During the session, you will sample our masterfully crafted roasts and develop the technique of identifying the different notes in every spoonful you slurp.
