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.
Flight is our go to.
Rocket are great too. Other suggestions would be Red Rabbit and People’s. If you want to try a bunch of different roasters there are a few “surprise” subscriptions that send coffee from a new roaster each month. On The Grind and Fernweh are two that spring to mind.
I’m also surprised amount up supermarket recommendations here… have supermarkets finally upped their game?
I like the idea of a subscription, but am also just really enjoying going in and chatting with the baristas at my local cafes.
And yeah – I’ve tried a bag of one of their single origins, and was really stoked with it. But I can’t find anywhere on my side of town that stocks them, which is a shame.
Fair call. It is nice to chat with the roasters. I usually try grab a bag of something different whenever I’m in Wellington.
What area are you based in?
Also in Welly. Work is handy to Frank’s and New Chapter, so I get most of my coffee from one or the other.
Came here to say flight as well. Great tasting coffee
