Founded in the heart of Melbourne, The Sustainable Coffee Company is one of the city’s original specialty coffee roasters. For over 15 years, we’ve combined our passion for incredible coffee with a deep commitment to sustainable practices, leading the way in ethical sourcing, environmental responsibility, and community connection.
We offer a wide range of specialty blends and single origin coffees under a portfolio of retail brands, tailored to meet the diverse needs of cafés, restaurants, and coffee enthusiasts. From full-service, high-volume clients to export-focused partners, our mission is simple: provide consistently exceptional coffee while shaping a healthier, more sustainable future.
What We Stand For
- Coffee Excellence: We source only specialty-grade beans and roast with precision using our high-quality Joper roaster. Every roast is cupped and tested daily to maintain exceptional flavour and consistency.
- Sustainable Pathways: From compostable packaging to urban herb farms, carbon offsetting, and our used grounds collection program in partnership with Reground, we help cafés tread lighter on the planet while enhancing their operations.
- Innovation: We believe in creative thinking and continuous improvement. Whether it’s upcycling equipment or trialing new sustainable business models, we bring fresh solutions to our partners and stay ahead of evolving market trends.
- Community Focus: We’re building a network of environmentally conscious cafés leading the way in carbon footprint reduction. Our collaborative approach supports growth and creates a meaningful impact beyond the cup.
Our Impact
- We maintain a direct, long-term relationship with a Colombian smallholder cooperative, purchasing most of their annual crop and ensuring fair payment and outstanding quality.
- Our Coffee For Nature initiative donates a portion of each sale to habitat restoration for endangered Victorian wildlife, with every kilo funding the planting of native trees.
- All our roasted coffee is delivered in 100% compostable or reusable bulk bags, minimizing waste in every shipment.
More Than Just Coffee
The Sustainable Coffee Company exists to serve both people and the planet. We offer more than beans—we offer a partnership rooted in quality, innovation, and purpose. Join us in reshaping the future of coffee—one sustainable step at a time.
