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.

It was an incredible moment, and one that we’re excited to share with our many friends and customers who generously contributed to this project.
