I love cof­fee. You may have picked up on that. I think good cof­fee is the back­bone of civilised soci­ety. I write about cof­fee a lot, it even has its own cat­e­gory. I also own a stu­pidly large cof­fee machine that I am happy to make avail­able for events (at a rea­son­able price) and I roast cof­fee beans which I am happy to pro­vide for you (also at a rea­son­able price).

Roasting

I cur­rently buy my green beans from Min­istry Grounds — a co-op run by Neil Atwood, a youth min­is­ter in the Blue Moun­tains. Green beans are incred­i­bly cheap — a quar­ter of the price of roasted beans from spe­cialty roast­ers or super­mar­kets. Freshly roasted cof­fee is also expo­nen­tially greater than stuff bought in a supermarket.

I rec­om­mend roast­ing your own beans — you can do it using a pop­corn maker, for two years I roasted mine in a bread­maker with a heat gun, all you need is heat and agi­ta­tion. If you can’t roast your own beans then the next best thing (both eco­nom­i­cally and in terms of qual­ity) is to buy them from some­one who does. If you’re in Bris­bane I am happy to sup­ply beans at very rea­son­able rates (price varies depend­ing on the vari­ety). If you’re else­where I’m also happy to mail beans around the coun­try — at your cost (postage wise).

I offer dis­counted rates to churches look­ing for a steady sup­ply of cof­fee beans or fel­low QTC stu­dents. Order your cof­fee using the form below:

Book my ser­vices
Is your church hold­ing an event that would ben­e­fit from great cof­fee? Are you hav­ing a party? I have a 3 group com­mer­cial machine avail­able for hire for events in the Bris­bane area. It comes com­plete with a Macap M4 grinder, beans, and (if required) the ser­vices of a friendly barista (that would be me). Hire is sub­ject to avail­abil­ity and at a rea­son­able rate to be nego­ti­ated based on the type of event and the num­ber of peo­ple attend­ing. If you are inter­ested in book­ing my machine and my ser­vices for your event please fill in this form.
