Get excited for Colombia!

Our latest fresh crop coffees from Colombia are on their way to Australia! The incoming line up includes a versatile and distinct regional blend from La Plata, Huila and two elegant single estate coffees: Neftalí Castro’s El Diamante in Tolima, and a 100% Pink Bourbon offering from María Rosa Oidor’s Los Nogales in Cauca.

Shipment Update

As any roaster knows, planning ahead is key to a successful coffee program — and at MCM, we’re here to help you do just that. Along with some excellent in-stock options, we have more delicious, fresh-crop coffees on the water and landing over the next few months.

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.
