Our Story
From day one, we’ve been trailblazers
In the 90s we carved our own path, exploring new horizons that paved the way for Specialty Coffee before the term ‘Specialty Coffee’ existed in Australia.Fast forward to today, and we’ve been awarded the 2018 and 2019 Champion Australian Roaster by the Australian International Coffee Awards (AICA). In 2020, we were the most rewarded coffee roaster with a further 20 medals across all brewing categories at AICA.
It tops off a record haul of 81 gold, silver and bronze medals in recent years, winning Gold in all categories including Milk blends, Filter, Espresso Blends, Single Origin and Cold Brew.
In 2021, we celebrate 27 years of innovation in the Specialty Coffee industry and 21 years of teaching baristas and coffee lovers world-wide about flavour-filled coffee.
2020 may have challenged the global hospitality landscape but our accomplished team continue to bring a fresh adaptive approach, always unearthing new flavours for you to experience at home, in your office or at a Danes cafe.
Flavour is our focus
Passion for flavour is what drives and challenges us. It guides every element of our roastery, retail, training and café supply. Our consistency in roasting, flavour profiles and sourcing only Specialty Coffee beans allows us to create our award winning coffees.
We want to help to show you how coffee flavour can vary through the expression of sweetness, aroma, body and finish – to help you define and experience your favourite flavour.
You can use the flavour pentagon on each bag of our coffee to quickly get an idea of how each roast will taste. And our Chocolates and Caramels – Nuts and Spices – Fruits and Berries percentage pentagons can quickly identify each coffees flavour tribe.
You’ll also find our brew guide with ratios, temperature and key info so you can nail an amazing coffee at home or at the office quickly and easily.
