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 Fessehaye Gebre

Whenever we visit and select coffees with Testi Specialty Coffee, we’re always fortunate to share a table with Fish, a longtime member of Testi’s team with a deep knowledge of Ethiopia’s coffee regions and industry.

It’s time to plan for Rwanda!

Next month, Fleur and Jo are 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 2026/27 season!

Get ready for Ethiopia!

Our fresh crop Ethiopian coffees are on the water! We have two containers bound for Melbourne and packed with exceptional offerings from Testi Specialty Coffee.

Team MCM is hitting the road!

Through the rest of April and early May, Jo, Beau and Carlos are visiting customers in Australia and Thailand — starting off with Perth this week, followed by Brisbane the following weekend and finishing off with a trip to Bangkok in May.

We’ve got a few big weeks ahead…

The start of the year is always busy at MCM, and 2026 has been no different. Following our visits to Ethiopia and Kenya in January and February, we have landed several exceptional coffees from Brazil, Bolivia and Colombia, started buying for Guatemala from our HQ, and held events and visits with customers from all over Australia.
