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 would recommend trying beans from a variety of origins. The acidity, caffeine content, mouth feel, etc can vary depending on what region the beans are from. My personal favorite is Ethiopian, especially when the roast brings out blueberry notes.
If you’re in Auckland here’s a few to try:
Basically try as much as you can and keep tabs on what you like and don’t like.
