The Magic Beans

Sustainably sourced coffee is at the core of everything we do.

When we ventured into the world of roasting, we soon learned that sadly, a coffee bean farmer receives a pittance of what the end user pays for their freshly roasted beans. The coffee beans are handled three or four times before they reach the final consumer, and every step of the way, someone is taking a cut.

The easiest way to avoid all this add-on is to buy directly from the grower. Unfortunately, we are not a big enough operation for that. Instead, we make sure we only collaborate with suppliers that share our philosophy on purchasing beans as ethically and sustainably as possible.

​At Ballarat Coffee Roasters we know first hand the challenging work that goes into any produce. That’s why we go that extra step to ensure we’re doing our part to contribute to a fair and sustainable coffee industry.
