We are proudly B Corp Certified

As part of our deep belief in, and commitment to, responsible and sustainable business practices, we are proud and excited to announce that Melbourne Coffee Merchants is now a certified B Corporation.

2021… Another year to remember!

After the shock and unpredictability of 2020, 2021 saw our team ease into a new state of normalcy. This shift involved many, many emails, WhatsApp texts and Zoom calls as we adjusted to buying all our coffees without travel and servicing our customers from afar.

We answer your questions about rising coffee prices…

The price of green coffee has risen to historical highs over the last 12 months. Here, we share insights into how these price increases impact MCM’s buying practices and pricing, and what we are doing to help our customers navigate increasing costs.

2020… what a year!

We are exiting out of 2020 with a small sigh of relief, and an abundance of gratitude for the hard work and support of our friends, customers and suppliers.

Why Transparency is important (and difficult) and what we are doing about it.

MCM is joining a growing group of concerned and committed importers and roasters who wants to hold the industry to a higher standard and drive more transparency across the supply chain. In this post, we explore why transparency is important (and why it’s hard), and what we are doing to build a more sustainable future for coffee.

How we buy coffee

Melbourne Coffee Merchants believes that everyone in the coffee chain can and should prosper, and that a commitment to paying producers good prices for coffee quality and suitability, regardless of the commodity market fluctuations, is the best way to ensure a sustainable and viable future for coffee farming. We have built our business around these beliefs and stand firmly behind our buying practices.
