About
Every step of our wonderful journey is crafted with care
Let’s be honest: we are coffee nerds. True believers in the power of coffee. Preachers of the fundamentals of a good brew. To us, coffee roasting is the epitome of art and science, and we just can’t get enough.
Good coffee is in our genes
Our family has been growing and making coffee for generations. After completing an engineering degree and forging a successful career in the financial services industry, our founder returned to the family business after a long period of soul searching.
Since opening the Beancraft doors in 2009, we’ve sought to challenge the status quo and are constantly evolving as a result. We can never know enough about coffee, and are always sourcing, sampling, roasting, cupping and exploring the coffee universe. Our findings inspire us to adjust and refine the way we make our specialty coffee – while staying true to our family heritage.
Honest to goodness
As a roaster, we are passionate about sourcing our green coffees in an ethical and transparent manner, thus we have developed long standing partnerships with our suppliers. Our green bean importer has over 30 years of experience, with networks in almost all coffee growing countries. Each one of our coffees can be traced to their individual farms or co-ops. Extensive farmer support teams within each region share knowledge on coffee farming, quality control as well as educating on climate change and sustainability. Running impact driven programs on the plantation sees increased profitability for the farmer, their community and improved livelihoods at the source.
"Specialty coffee can consistently exist through the dedication of the people who have made it their life's work to continually make quality their highest priority. This is not the work of only one person in the lifecycle of a coffee bean; specialty can only occur when all of those involved in the coffee value chain work in harmony and maintain a keen focus on standards and excellence from start to finish" - Specialty Coffee Association.
