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.

It’s time to plan for Brazil!

Later this month, Fleur and Toshi are visiting our Brazilian supply partners to select coffees from the current harvest. Because most roasters rely on rich, syrupy coffees for their espresso blends, our sourcing trip to Brazil is one of our most important of the year. That’s why, before they head off, we want to hear from you to help us accurately plan for the 2025 season.

Spotlight on: Testi Specialty Coffee

Since 2018, we’ve been sourcing Ethiopian offerings from Testi Specialty Coffee, a family-owned and operated exporting company whose washing stations produce some the country’s cleanest and most distinct lots.

Get ready for Bolivia!

It’s time to start planning for Bolivia! In the coming weeks, Beau is heading off to visit the Rodríguez family of Agricafe Bolivia, to select offerings from the current season and catch up on how the harvest is progressing.

Ethiopia has landed!

We’re thrilled to announce that our two containers out of Ethiopia have arrived! Sourced from processing sites owned and operated by supply partners Testi Specialty Coffee, the freshly landed lots are presenting heaps of florals, vibrant acidity and distinct, fruit-driven character.

Get excited for Guatemala!

We have just added 2025’s fresh crop Guatemalan offerings to our list! This selection offers a wide range of coffee lots, with distinct cup profiles and price points, from some of Guatemala’s most distinguished coffee-producing families and growing regions.
