Interested in hearing what coffee roasters the community recommends. I’m getting into specialty coffee (single origin, roasted for filter brewing), and am keen for recommendations. But also keen to hear about whatever it is that gets you going in the morning.
My favourite roaster at the moment is Rocket Coffee. Their roster of beans is constantly shifting, so you’re not necessarily going to get the same coffee every week – but there’s always something interesting and/or absolutely delicious.
I manage a cafe and tried a bunch of different beans before settling on MacKenzie’s Mainland blend. A mellow, super easy to drink blend that’s just as good in a flat white as it is as a doppio. We get a lot of compliments on it.
Personal favourite is Escape, a Taranaki based roaster. A lot more character than others though, so maybe not for everyone!
