Ebony Coffee Company
Ebony Coffee Company was started in 1996 initially roasting with a 12 kg Otto Swadla and mainly for themselves, their friends and one cafe. A few retail sales were made on Saturday mornings. Their first full time employee arrived on the scene within three months and they have not looked back since. They moved to new premises in Feb 2000 and late in 2003 they doubled its size to allow room for a barista training facility, a larger roaster and warehouse space for commercial equipment. In 2006 they moved to a dedicated factory site.
These days they roast with a 30 kg Petroncini. In addition to their every popular coffee blends there is also a flourishing commercial hire operation. Some of their staff are approved HSI assessors. They consider themselves to be an unpretentious company and avoid the vain claims made by many boutique roasters. So they don’t claim to roast every day, nor do they cup every sack of beans and they don’t personally select the beans.
