Switch Espresso Coffee Company

Switch Espresso Coffee Company Specialty coffee roasters & wholesalers since 2006. Roasting in Christchurch, NZ. Available to purchase online and instore at our roastery in Otautahi.

Switch Espresso began with an addiction. This addiction led Switch Espresso founder Hamish Evans across the globe to explore some of the world’s most notable espresso hotspots, from Italy’s vibrant café culture to the fertile slopes of India’s coffee farms. Hamish returned to Christchurch in 2006 ready to combine his wealth of industry knowledge and his passion for great coffee. The result: a trul

y independent boutique roastery specialising in sustainable, organic and 100% ethically-sourced coffee. Switch Espresso has grown into one of the key players in the local Christchurch coffee industry. We supply outstanding cafés around Canterbury and the South Island, as well as delivering coffee direct to our consumers from the Switch Espresso website. From its beginnings in New Brighton, the roaster has relocated to Middleton, where coffee lovers can drop by and get the freshest brews at the roastery’s Industrie Espresso Bar. We love to push the boundaries of coffee extraction, bringing a range of specialty brew methods and light-roasted single-origins to highlight the diversity of espresso alternatives. We also have an awesome crew of espresso professionals, so give us a call if you’re interested in barista training from our NZSCA-accredited instructor or if your espresso machine needs a tune-up from our top technician.

Trying new coffees is always a fun time, especially when they’re from somewhere you can’t usually get green beans from. 👀

Pictured are some fun little samples we were lucky enough to get our hands on, roast and cup at the beginning of the month. Is there any specific countries you prefer your beans from? Let us know in the comments or dms. 🫶🏼

signofthekiwinz has some of the most beautiful views in Christchurch. Not only that, but they’ve got delicious coffee, passionate staff, amazing locally sourced housemade food, walking tracks close by and little birdies who consider the cafe their own.

The team at Sign of the Kiwi are a true credit to the Devos family, who have really held it down after a tough couple of months. Even through the passing of Eric, the wonderful French owner who many knew and loved, they continue to show up for you and for eachother. If we haven’t already convinced you to go for a visit, let the pictures of a chilly winters morning speak for themselves.

Monday morning, coffee’s pouring. 🎶

The roaster is the best heater money can buy, better yet you also get the smell of freshly roasted beans and a pretty decent cuppa out of it. Swing passed & grab your weekly top up!

Thanks to everyone who’s come along to grab a handful of coffee sacks lately, we’re pretty cleared out for now & hope your projects are all the better for it! Don’t be strangers, tag us so we can see the cool things they’ve been used for.

Some inspo for those of you interested- we’ve had some used as dog bed covers, upholstery, a music soundproof room, garden w**d matting, lining cars, putting w**ds and other garden refuse in. What do you use them for? Let us know!
