Danes Specialty Coffee Champion Australian Roasters 2018 & 2019 AICA. Innovative specialty coffee roasters of Danes and Maestros Espresso in Sydney, Australia. Flavour is our focus.

For over 20 years we’ve been flavour crusaders and industry leaders with our elite SCA coffee courses. From day one, we’ve been trailblazers. In the 90s we carved our own path, exploring new horizons that paved the way for the Australian specialty coffee industry. Fast forward to today, and we’ve been crowned the 2018 and 2109 Champion Australian Roaster by the Australian International Coffee Awards. It tops off a record haul of 61 gold, silver and bronze medals in recent years, winning Gold in all categories including Filter, Espresso Blends, Single Origin and Cold Brew. In 2019, we celebrate 25 years of innovating the specialty coffee industry and 20 years of teaching baristas and coffee lovers about flavour-filled coffee. With a new look and an accomplished team, we continue to bring a fresh approach, always unearthing new flavours for you to experience. Passion for flavour is what drives us. It guides every element of our roastery, retail, training and wholesale activities. Our consistency in roasting, flavour profiles and sourcing only the most premium beans allows us to create these award winning flavours. We want to show you how coffee flavours can vary through the expression of sweetness, aroma, body and finish – to help you define your favourite flavour. Whether you drink your coffee white or black, understanding how to articulate the flavours you like best is the key to enjoying delicious coffee. That’s how we help you define your flavour. World class knowledge through Authorised SCA Trainers
Our first class facilities, coffee courses and trainers are essential to our success. And as members of the SCAA/SCA for over 25 years, we’re proud partners of the SCA international training vision and coffee benchmarks. With our SCA-accredited training campus and team of Authorised SCA Trainers, our Danes partner cafes are in exceptional hands as they deliver you the perfect cup, every time.

Two new Single Origins have landed! ☕️One of the things we love most about coffee is just how different every origin can be. From the people who grow it to the way it’s processed, there’s always something new to discover, taste and appreciate. And that’s exactly why we get excited when new Single Origins arrive at the roastery.

🇨🇷 Costa Rica Finca El Venado
A bright, vibrant coffee with notes of passionfruit, blood orange and toffee.

🇮🇩 Indonesia Kalosi Toraja Decaf
Rich, smooth and full of character, with notes of vanilla gelato, orange rind and blackberry. Proof that decaf doesn’t have to mean compromising on flavour.

Two very different coffees, each with its own story to tell.

Curious about what makes Single Origin coffee so interesting? We’ve also put together a new blog exploring the journey from origin to cup, and why no two coffees are quite the same.

85+ medals. 30+ years of craft. ☕️

Since 1994, we’ve been carving our own path in specialty coffee.

From pioneering new approaches to roasting and exploring flavour, to sharing our knowledge with the next generation of coffee lovers, curiosity has always been at the heart of what we do.

Along the way, we’ve earned 85+ medals and been named Champion Australian Roaster twice. Achievements we’re proud of, but they’re only part of the story.

Because after three decades, we’re still doing what we’ve always done. Exploring, learning and refining every roast to bring you better coffee.

Coffee Mavericks since 1994.

International Coffee Day. A day to recognise everyone behind the cup.
Good coffee doesn’t just happen.
It starts long before it reaches us. With the growers and producers who nurture it at origin. The roasters who work to bring out its potential. The cafés and baristas who bring it to life every day.
And eventually, it reaches you.
For more than 30 years, we’ve been fortunate to play our part in an industry built on knowledge, curiosity, collaboration and a shared respect for good coffee.
Today, we’re raising a cup to everyone who keeps it moving, from origin to roastery, café to cup, and everywhere in between.
So grab a coffee from your local, raise a cup to the people behind it, and celebrate good coffee with us.
Happy International Coffee Day, from all of us at Danes.

Meet our newest Single Origin, Colombia Finca Patio Bonito.
This is one of those coffees that gives you plenty to discover in the cup. Floral and bright to start, with juicy blood orange and cherry, a rich Shiraz-like fruitiness, then burnt caramel and dark chocolate bringing a deeper sweetness through the finish.
Grown in the mountains of Caldono, Cauca by Paola and Carlos Trujillo, this natural Pacamara is a beautiful expression of the care they put into their farm and their coffee.
Blood Orange · Shiraz · Burnt Caramel
Now available in 200g bags, online and at Danes.

Your espresso machine can do more than you think.

A good home setup is one thing. Knowing how to get the best from it is another.

Our Home Barista Course takes you through the fundamentals - grind size, extraction, brew ratios, milk texturing, bean choice, storage and machine care with plenty of hands-on practice along the way.

Two hours in Brookvale, Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Skills you’ll use every morning after.

This is where your coffee actually starts. Before the green beans, before the roaster and long before the first pour, coffee begins as a fruit. What happens at origin from growing conditions and variety to harvesting and processing has a huge influence on what we’ll eventually taste in the cup.

The part we’re all here for.

Everything that happens before this moment - sourcing, roasting, tasting, grinding and dialling in - ultimately comes down to what lands in the cup.

Good coffee starts with understanding how to make it.
 
We’ve been training baristas in Sydney since 1999 - from people wanting to make better coffee at home to professionals behind the bar.
 
Our courses are hands-on, small and taught by people who understand coffee from the roaster through to the cup. Because when you understand your beans, your equipment and the variables behind extraction, making consistently good coffee becomes a whole lot easier.
 
25+ years of training. 4,000+ students. Still sharing what we know.
