Okay, it's a bit of a hack, but while we await new weblings to be borne, please see here our retail offering list. Please email orders@smallbatch.com.au and we can mail you something out. We aim to post day after roast. Main roast days are Monday and Thursday but between times is fine too.

Due to popular demand we are launching our very own coffee
subscription starting this week...

It is going down like this:

On the second and fourth Thursday of each month we will send out two
250g bags of our hottest beans. These may be blends or singles and will
be roasted to suit your brew method. Anything goes so expect to receive
singles, blends, micro lots and milli lots. Tasting notes will be included
but feel free to ditch these in favour of your own scribbles.

3 months (6 drops, 12 bags): $200

6 months (13 drops, 26bags): $410

12 months (26 drops, 52 bags): $750

This includes postage anywhere in Australia so if you need what we’ve got email andrew@smallbatch.com.au and we will get the ball rolling. Make sure to specify your preferred brewing technique and please don’t ask for pre-ground because we don’t roll like that, however for an extra $55 we will gladly include a Hario hand grinder with your first delivery!

We just got back from Tokyo where Will placed 5th in the World Siphon Championship. The competition was tough and presenting with an interpreter was certainly a new experience but in the end the long hours of preparation paid off. Props were given for a creative sig drink (the head judge is compiling a book of over 300 siphon recipes) and Will also got a special prize for being a great ambassador for his country... which country is that again? All in all a great event made even better by our hosts with the most Toshi, Masa and Miyuki.

See you next year!
