Artificer

On Bourke Street in Surry Hills, Artificer operates as both roastery and coffee bar, built around the relationship between sourcing, roasting, and brewing. The logic is straightforward: how a bean is selected shapes how it should be roasted, which shapes how it should be brewed. Open daily until 2pm.

Fonzie Abbott

Fonzie Abbott has outgrown the single-venue roaster format. From the Fox Street flagship in Albion — modern Mediterranean menu, 100-plus seats, full table service — to a drive-thru on Lutwyche Road open from 5am, the operation now spans a restaurant, a barber, and Wishbone, its own gin and vodka distillery using 100% Australian ingredients. The coffee, meanwhile, runs from the Boxer and Highside espresso blends to single-origin Kenyan and Guatemalan lots.

St Ali

St Ali has been at the forefront of Melbourne's coffee revolution since 2005. Known for pushing boundaries in sourcing and roasting, they offer a diverse range of single origins and blends from their iconic South Melbourne location.

Code Black Coffee

Code Black Coffee roasts with precision in their Brunswick East headquarters, focusing on transparency and traceability in every bag. Their clean, approachable roast style highlights the natural character of each origin.

Proud Mary

Proud Mary's Collingwood roastery runs a tight catalogue — Parainema naturals from Honduras, a Pacamara from Panama, a washed Geisha out of Mexico. The subscription tiers are named (Wild, Curious, Mild) and the single-origin list turns over constantly. Heston Blumenthal is a fan on record. The coffee earns the attention.

Veneziano Coffee Roasters

Multi-city roaster with roots in Melbourne, known for competition-grade espresso blends and an extensive training program for hospitality professionals.

Seven Seeds

Blackstar Coffee Roasters

Revolution has been Blackstar's house espresso blend for over a decade — that kind of staying power means something in a city that cycles through roasters quickly. The West End operation also runs seasonal blends, single origins from farms like Tomasa Ramirez's in Honduras, and a cold brew concentrate. Serious without being precious about it.

Blacklist Coffee Roasters

An award-winning specialty coffee roastery and wholesale supplier bringing premium single-origin and blend coffees from around the world.

The Coffee Bean Shop

Stall 58–59 at Adelaide Central Market, with roasting done on a 40-year-old Petroncini machine at a Welland warehouse. The Jazz Blend is the workhorse — smooth, reliable, suited to espresso — while Bush Brew travels well. Everything is roasted daily and shipped fresh, never stockpiled. A practical stop for anyone who wants their beans handled with some actual discipline.

Singular Roasters

Perth roastery with two CBD cafés and a Carlisle warehouse operation. The focus is single-origin: current offerings include Ethiopian Kochere Shifo, Brazilian Vinhal Farm (available in both espresso and filter roasts), and a Filipino Wuj Kape. Prices run $16–$23. Both café locations are weekday-only, closing by early afternoon.

Micrology

Micrology is Tasmania's premier specialty coffee roaster, bringing world-class roasting to Hobart. They focus on micro-lot coffees and seasonal offerings that showcase the best of what specialty coffee has to offer.

Altura Coffee

Adelaide family business, roasting since 1999 and now into its second generation. The Grange Road roastery runs daily — blends, single origins, decaf, pods — and doubles as a café where you can watch the roasters work. Wholesale supply, barista training, and machine servicing all operate under the same roof.

Wolfpack Coffee Roasters Mortlake

Their roastery on Edwin Street goes by "The Den" — a working space where you can watch beans being roasted and blended on-site. The range runs from Alpha Blend to Omega Single Origin, all seasonal, all available as whole beans, various grinds, or pods. Order a coffee, stay to watch a batch come through the drum, leave with a bag.

b3 Coffee

Ben Laakmann opened this Blackwood roastery in 2016 with a straightforward brief: source specialty-grade coffee ethically and sell it on Main Road. Co-owner Shana Knowles joined in 2018. The roasting operation has since relocated to Somerton Park, while the original shopfront remains the place to drink it. Wholesale partners carry b3 across South Australia and beyond.

Little Rebel Coffee Roastery

On the Mornington Peninsula's quieter northern shore, Little Rebel roasts and serves from the same Collins Street address in Dromana, weekday mornings only. The house blend, Black Sheep, combines 50% Brazil Natural with 50% Colombia Washed — toffee and caramel on the nose. Subscriptions ship whole bean or ground, in 250g, 500g or 1kg bags.

Wood and Co Coffee

Brunswick roastery café open weekdays until 3pm, Saturdays until 1. The shelf holds Ethiopian Gara Agena, Colombian Benedicto Yara, and the house Twin Peaks blend — all roasted to order before dispatch. Worth stopping in on Albert Street if you want to see where the beans actually come from before buying a bag to take home.

Artis Wood Roasted Coffee

Wood-roasted rather than gas-roasted — that's the point of difference here. The Marrickville roaster uses no chemicals in the process, producing blends like the Honduran (chocolate, macadamia, raspberry) and the Elixir (dark chocolate, toffee, hazelnut). Beans are sold by the kilogram with subscription options. The flavour profiles are specific enough to navigate without a barista holding your hand.

Cheeky Devil Coffee Roasters

A local, family-owned specialty coffee roaster in Hobart with over 10 years of experience roasting small-batch, ethically sourced coffee beans from around the world. Committed to building strong relationships with customers through personalized service, including subscriptions and special orders, while supporting the Tasmanian Devil Appeal.

The Bean Cartel Coffee Roasters

Origin-roasted, post-blended at their Duerdin Street roastery in Clayton. The Bean Cartel's range runs from a gold-medal Ethiopian espresso to Colombian anaerobic naturals with names like Guava Banana and Pink Bourbon Punch. El Capitán and Dr Chan's Elixir anchor the blend lineup. Wholesale supply is the core business; retail bags ship from $18.

Simply Beans Coffee Roast Specialist

Joe's search for the right PNG, Indian and Indonesian Arabicas became the backbone of Simply Beans' house blends — Supremo, Davero, Terra Mist — which have collectively pulled bronze and silver at Sydney Royal, Melbourne Royal and the Australian International Coffee Awards since 2009. The Compton Road roastery also handles machine sales, repairs and barista training, making it a one-stop supplier for Brisbane's southern cafes.

Zimmah Coffee

Daily roasting—Monday to Friday, on Murray Street in Hobart—keeps Zimmah's blends and single-origins moving fresh to retail and wholesale buyers alike. They also run barista training, treating it as seriously as the roast itself. A working roastery that sells direct from the floor, 8am to 3pm most days.

Redbrick Coffee City

Redbrick has been roasting since 2011, and this Constitution Avenue outpost is where the operation meets the public properly — refined classics on the food menu, local produce, coffee from their own roastery. Open seven days, it winds down early afternoon, which suits the government-precinct crowd it's clearly built for.

Pioneer Coffee Roastery

On Pioneer Road in Yandina, this Sunshine Coast Hinterland roastery handles green bean roasting on contract, sells direct, and ships wholesale. The range includes four house blends — Heritage, Mocha Java, Rainforest, Sunday — plus a Swiss Water decaf processed with activated charcoal rather than chemicals. Dark vegan chocolate-coated beans are an unlikely regional souvenir worth picking up on the way through.

Red Mud Coffee Roasters

Dairy country backdrop, Fairtrade beans, single origins out of Colombia — Red Mud operates from a roastery door on McCarthy Road where you can pick up a bag or watch the roasting process firsthand. The range runs from full-bodied blends to a Colombia Decaf, with a limited-release single origin rounding out the shelf. Small, independent, worth the detour into Maleny.

Twin Peaks Coffee Roasters

Rudloc Road roaster with a tightly edited range: three house staples (Profiler, Deli, Seasons Best), rotating single-origins from Burundi, Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala and Nicaragua, and a decaf called Ghost Town. Filter and espresso profiles are sold separately. Cold brew ships ready-to-drink or as concentrate. The multi-pack discount system is worth noting for anyone stocking a café.

Cirelli Coffee Roasting Co

A masterfully crafted specialty coffee roastery and café born from generations of Italian coffee tradition. Known for artisanal small-batch roasting, knowledgeable baristas, and an exceptional espresso program that draws coffee enthusiasts from across the region.

Darkstar Coffee Roasters

Frobisher Street roastery doing wholesale supply, walk-in café, and a floor of machines and grinders available to buy or service. Barista training runs alongside the retail side. Beans are sourced with traceability front of mind — the website names specific lots from dedicated producers — and subscriptions ship free on the first order.

Adore Coffee Roasters

Silverwater roaster with a tight lineup of named blends — Darkwolf, Mastro, Florito, Jackson — plus single-origins and drip-bag options. Order online or pick up from the roastery Monday to Friday. The cold brew concentrate has become a word-of-mouth staple. No café attached; this is purely about the coffee going home with you.

Strada Coffee Roasters

Richard roasts daily from a small factory in Pascoe Vale, grinding to order for whatever's on your bench — V60, Aeropress, Moccamaster, espresso machine. The Collins St blend runs dark chocolate and red plum; Royal Parade adds toasted hazelnut. There's also a mountain water decaf and an in-house masala chai made with Australian honey.

Infuse Coffee Roasters

Award-winning blends sit alongside rotating single origins and Papua New Guinean peaberry at this Strahan Street roaster. The Wild Espresso and Classic Espresso blends are the workhorses; the weekly single origin keeps regulars returning. Gear — Aeropress, Chemex, Wacaco's Nanopresso — is stocked for those who want to take the coffee home properly.

Willow Bend Coffee Roasters

An award-winning specialty coffee roaster proudly roasting beans in South Australia with a focus on ethically sourced, smooth blends designed to taste exceptional whether enjoyed black or through milk. Founded by Ben Pankhurst to fill a gap in Adelaide's coffee market, this local gem has cultivated a devoted following of caffeine enthusiasts.

Zentveld's Coffee Farm & Roastery

Coffee grown, harvested, processed and roasted on a single family farm in the Byron hinterland. Rebecca Zentveld has been working this land since 1987, when her family planted Australia's first commercial coffee crop on the slopes above Newrybar. The farm is pesticide-free, regeneratively managed, solar-powered, and the only place in the country where you can drink an espresso made entirely from beans grown within sight of the cup. Open weekdays for tastings, tours, and direct-from-the-farm purchases.

Ritual Coffee Roasters

Four blends anchor the range: Strongman, Amelia, Seasonal, and Decaf — all roasted in small batches in Tasmania and shipped Australia-wide. The Shack blend sits at a slight premium. Straightforward, locally rooted, and worth keeping on rotation.

Pillar Coffee Roasters

Thirty years behind the bar, twelve behind the roaster. Clay Bush and his brother Jake — the latter carrying three decades in heavy industry process engineering — run the technical side through Bush Bush Coffee Systems, retrofitting and redesigning Pillar's own roasting equipment. The result is a roastery where the machinery is part of the product development, not just the means of it.

The Sustainable Coffee Company

Fifteen-plus years roasting on a Joper in Port Melbourne, about half their beans sourced directly from a small Colombian co-operative under a farmer-direct purchasing commitment. The sustainability mechanics are practical rather than performative: compostable or returnable bulk bags, Reground coffee ground collection, and a Coffee For Nature program where every kilo sold funds habitat planting for critically endangered Victorian wildlife.

Cafetal Coffee Roasters

On Overend Street in East Brisbane, Cafetal roasts Colombian specialty coffee direct from origin and opens the process to the public — barista courses, coffee appreciation sessions, and a tasting home kit round out a setup that treats sourcing as the main event. The Bruselas Las Mariposas washed single origin is the one to start with.

Cafetal Coffee Co.

Kent Town's Cafetal imports single-estate beans directly from Hacienda Casablanca in Santander, Colombia — one farm, one producer (Liliana Caballero), roasted on-site. The range spans washed, natural anaerobic, and multi-phase fermentation processes; the triple-fermented Colombia variety runs through three extended fermentation stages before reaching the roastery. Colombia's Santander region is the whole story here, told without detour.

Goliath Coffee Roasters

The Coffee Company

Since 1969, Carlisle Street has caught the smell of coffee roasting from this family-run shop. Marlon and Joel Dubs still hand-roast daily on a cast-iron Vittoria drum roaster, adjusting by eye and nose rather than algorithm. Fifty-plus coffees, a hundred-odd loose-leaf teas under their own Carlisle Tea label, and nothing warehoused — what you order goes in the roaster that day.

Six8 Coffee Roasters

Daniel and Toni Neuhaus started Six8 in Yass, NSW in 2013, after volunteering in disadvantaged communities across Southeast Asia, South America and Europe. Since then, $1 from every kilogram sold has gone to anti-trafficking work — $72,384 and counting. The Bohemian Blend (milk chocolate, raspberry), Spearhead and Dark Horse are roasted in small batches; wholesale supplies cafes across Canberra and regional NSW.

Paramount Coffee Project

An unbiased approach to coffee selection that showcases a variety of coffee origins, processes and roasters. This specialty coffee project offers a curated selection for discerning coffee enthusiasts.

Fox Coffee

Geebung roaster Fox Coffee keeps it blunt: no origin-story mythology, no tasting-note theatrics. Their two house blends — the milk-chocolate-and-toffee Crafted, and the darker, cocoa-forward Dusk — ship from $21 a kilogram, ground to order for everything from stovetop to cold drip. The pitch is the product.

Leftfield Coffee Roasters

Osborne Park roasters supplying wholesale and retail across Perth. Their lineup includes blends named Fat Puppy, Old Fox and Duchess, plus a Ruby Honey Chai and a limited seasonal Santa's Sip. Beans ship direct from the roastery; subscriptions are available online.

Pogo Coffee Roasters

Kent Town roaster running five espresso blends — Bounce, Flow, Rush, Zip, and a decaf Dash — plus rotating single-origin Spark. The differentiator is the air roaster, which suspends beans on a fluid bed of hot air rather than a drum, producing what Pogo describes as smooth, full-bodied pulls with a clean finish. Online ordering ships nationally; wholesale available.

White Whale Coffee Roasters

Roasting specialty-grade coffee in Cairns since 2010, White Whale keeps things direct: ethically sourced beans, no gimmicks. The Beach House blend draws repeat orders from customers 1,500 kilometres away; the Colombia Chiroso San Carlos — limited release, filter-roasted — runs to tropical fruit and coconut. One per cent of every sale goes to the Resilient Reefs Foundation.

Gabriel Coffee

Sam Gabrielian started Gabriel Coffee in 2006, when specialty coffee was still a fringe term in Australia and the market belonged to the old-school roasters. He'd been managing his family café; he left to roast. By 2004 he was chairman of the ASCA Barista Guild. Twenty years on, the operation is still single-roastery, owner-operated, supplying cafés across Sydney and Canberra from Chatswood. The Day Maker blend is the one that turns up everywhere. House espresso is the OG.

Dawn Patrol Coffee

McLaren Vale roaster with a tight, well-travelled menu: single-origins from Ethiopia, Rwanda and Colombia sit alongside two house espresso blends and a Mountain Water decaf. The Colombia Campo Hermoso Red Bourbon — available in both wet ferment and gold wet ferment — signals serious sourcing intent. Online orders only; no café component listed.

Botero Coffee Roasters Tasmania

Tasmania's premier specialty coffee roaster and wholesale partner, bringing quality beans and exceptional service to the island's vibrant café community. Established in Mornington in early 2020, they combine meticulous bean sourcing with dedicated support and barista training for their café partners.

SOHO Coffee Roasters

A roaster and café on Morphett Street open weekday mornings until 2:30pm. The house range runs from the Dark Horse Blend to the darker Conductor, with the Ovation acting as a rotating seasonal option. Single origins are available on request. Machine sales, repairs, and barista training round out the offer for home brewers.

Zest Specialty Coffee Roasters

Richmond roaster with a Golden Bean gold medal for filter coffee to its name. Zest post-blends all its coffees — a deliberate choice they say optimises flavour — and runs training and sensory events for cafés, baristas and home brewers. The focus is filter-forward, flavour-driven specialty, without the usual mystification.

First Batch Coffee Roasters

A roaster and wholesale supplier operating out of Noosaville's Venture Drive industrial strip. The lineup runs from the house Venture and Noosa blends through to single origins — current lots include a Brazil Ipê Amarelo and a Burundi Kayanza. Barista training is available face-to-face with a Certificate IV qualified trainer. Beans ship nationally; local orders can be collected in store.

Core Roasters

Brunswick East roaster doing things slightly sideways: coffee comes in a recyclable cardboard box with a built-in pouring spout, not the usual foil bag. The range runs from Ethiopian naturals to a Philippine espresso and Colombian Geisha. Loose-leaf tea and cacao husk from Guatemala round it out. Find them on Barkly Street.

Seven Seeds Coffee Roasters

A Melbourne-based specialty coffee roaster established in 2007, committed to forming lasting relationships with exceptional producers and delivering single-origin and house blend coffees. Available at multiple locations across Melbourne including a flagship Carlton roastery, CBD cafés, and a Fairfield bakery.

Coffee Alchemy

Sydney's Marrickville-based roaster taking a scientific approach to extraction and roasting. Coffee Alchemy's dedication to understanding coffee at a molecular level produces remarkably clean cups from Ethiopian, Colombian, Guatemalan and Rwandan single origins. A benchmark for light-to-medium specialty roasting in Australia.

Margaret River Roasting Co

Margaret River Roasting Co. sources its Yira Yarkiny single origin from Jack Murat farm in Mareeba, North Queensland — beans grown in volcanic soil at the highest point of the Great Dividing Range. A portion of each sale goes to Children's Ground, a First Nations organisation. The roastery also runs a café and coffee cart on site.

Bolt Coffee

Air-roasted in small batches at their Bayswater roastery, Bolt's range runs from workhorse blends — Vice, Cream, Three Amigos — through to a Guji single origin and a Colombian decaf. The Midland café, a short walk from the train station, handles click-and-collect for online subscribers. Functional, unfussy, and worth knowing about if you're after a local roaster with genuine range.

Shenannigans

Darwin's pioneering specialty roaster bringing top-quality coffee to the Top End. Their tropical roastery serves both locals and the wider NT hospitality scene.

Sample Coffee

Started in Surry Hills in 2011 with a single espresso bar, Sample Coffee moved its roasting operation to St Peters in 2014. The focus hasn't shifted: a weekly-rotating list of traceable single origins, roasted for clarity rather than house style. B Corp certified, home-compostable packaging, and twenty cents from every bag going to nonprofits. Serious about coffee without being serious about itself.

Wide Open Road Coffee Roasters

Brunswick roaster operating since "the noughties," Wide Open Road runs a cafe on Barkly Street alongside its roastery. The blend names alone earn attention: Shady Lane pulls dark chocolate and cherry for espresso; Moon Pix swings filter toward raspberry and golden syrup. Single origins rotate by season — current releases include a Pink Bourbon from Colombia and a Kenyan Rukira with dark plum notes.
