Sweet, Rich and Tasty Coffees – Every Time
For more than 18 years, we’ve owned and operated seven different coffee roasting plants. That daily experience gave us a deep understanding of what works best in creating premium, award‑winning coffee beans.
In 2014, after running some of the highest‑performance roasting platforms in the world, we set out to design the best coffee roasting system ever built. Partnering with a specialist builder, we turned our dream specifications into a working reality.
Just three months after commissioning our custom “Supa‑Roasta,” we stormed roasting competitions, winning multiple gold medals and the overall event champion title. But this isn’t just about bragging rights—it’s about explaining why our coffee tastes different from other specialty brands.
Why Cast Iron Matters in Coffee Roasting
-
Cast iron roasters were the original coffee roasting platforms and are still considered the gold standard.
-
Experienced roast‑masters worldwide desire complete cast iron systems, not partial drum roasters.
-
Full cast iron roasters are rare—most surviving units are antiques, carefully maintained to keep them alive.
-
Just like world‑class chefs and BBQ experts, we know cast iron imparts soft, moist heat that creates unique, delicious flavours.
Working with cast iron is demanding, expensive, and requires specialist expertise. That’s why most modern roasting systems use mild steel, alloy, or stainless steel. Many brands market “cast iron elements,” but the amount used is minimal—more sales gimmick than substance.
The Supa‑Roasta – Our Custom Cast Iron Roaster
In 2015, we realized our dream: a full cast iron roasting system combined with modern computer controls for precise adjustment. The result?
-
Superior flavour development compared to vintage refurbishments or modern steel systems.
-
Award‑winning coffee beans with sweetness, balance, and complexity.
-
A roasting experience that’s as powerful as a Formula 1 car, yet refined enough for everyday use.
The difference is easy to taste. Our Supa‑Roasta imparts a delicious flavour, rich sweetness, and perfect balance that modern steel platforms simply can’t match.
Cast Iron vs Modern Roasters
-
Modern roasters: built with steel or alloy, efficient but lacking depth of flavour.
-
Cast iron roasters: deliver richer, smoother, more complex coffee through even heat transfer.
-
Our Supa‑Roasta: combines the best of both worlds—traditional cast iron flavour with modern precision controls.
Why We Choose Cast Iron – And Why You Should Too
Would you BBQ on anything but cast iron? Neither would we. Coffee roasting is cooking, and cast iron ensures the sweet, rich, and balanced flavour that defines our beans.
Our custom cast‑iron platform guarantees precise roasting, producing coffee that stands out in the Australian specialty market. For us, there’s no other way.
