about

work drinks... Padre Coffee is roasted at The Brunswick East Project, a small batch coffee roaster based in Brunswick East.

We roast almost 30 different single origin coffees on a 10kg roaster. This allows us to experiment with different beans, techniques and equipment in search of the holy grail of coffee - the perfect espresso. And like all good things - once we find it we're probably going to want to go one better.

Each roast is profiled and carefully monitored, then catalogued, giving us a library of roast information which allows us to roast more accurately and to to the specifics of each bean and it's origin. Each batch is hand sorted to ensure that prior to roasting our coffee is clean and free of defects.

This adherance to detail and the hard work we put into every roast ensures that Padre arrives at our customers freshly roasted and ready for them to add their craft to the final step in it's long journey.

Coffee is a seasonal fresh product and needs to be treated as such. From the farms where the coffee is grown, through to the processing, storage and transport, every step of the journey needs to be mindful of the next.

We roast a number of single origin beans for sale individually and also blend some to our taste - the PADRE blend. You'll find a choice of our blend and a single origin in the grinders to try when you visit, plus we stock a number or single origin coffees for purchase.

We encourage everyone to try different coffees - good or bad - to encourage a dialogue with your local cafes and coffee shops on the beans they use, where they come from and how they are roasted and prepared.
