Journal | Melbourne Coffee Merchants

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.

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.

We support World Coffee Research

World Coffee Research’s mission is to grow, protect, and enhance supplies of quality coffee, while improving the livelihoods of the families who produce it. Learn how you can support their mission and help to ensure there is a sustainable future for coffee.

Meet Kiama Cooperative

During our February visit to Kenya, we were delighted to spend time with the leadership of Kiama Farmers’ Cooperative Society (FCS), getting key insights into how they’re able to produce such delicious coffees.

The Santa Clara Scholarship Program

Run by Antigua Guatemala’s Zelaya family, the Santa Clara Scholarship Program has changed the lives of many of their staff’s children by providing them access to greater educational opportunities.

Jambo Kenya!

It’s been a huge week at our Brunswick East HQ, as our latest shipment of fresh crop Kenyan coffees just landed. Sourced during our February visit, we’re thrilled to report the coffees have all been approved following our internal QC, and are ready for dispatch.

It’s time to plan for Rwanda!

Next month, MCM is heading back to Rwanda. Before we head off, we want to hear from you to help us build our buying brief and accurately plan for the 2025/26 season!

Spotlight on: San Antonio Decaf

Late last year, we were thrilled to introduce our first ever decaffeinated lot, San Antonio Decaf: a line that perfectly exemplifies just how far our industry has come since the early days of specialty coffee in Australia.
