Roaster

Artificer

On Bourke Street in Surry Hills, Artificer operates as both roastery and coffee bar, built around the relationship between sourcing, roasting, and brewing. The logic is straightforward: how a bean is selected shapes how it should be roasted, which shapes how it should be brewed. Open daily until 2pm.

Café

Paramount Coffee Project

Open since 2013, Paramount Coffee Project sits in the foyer of Paramount House Hotel, rotating its coffee selection across origins, processes and roasters rather than committing to one.

Sample Coffee

Started in Surry Hills in 2011 with a single espresso bar, Sample Coffee moved its roasting operation to St Peters in 2014. The focus hasn't shifted: a weekly-rotating list of traceable single origins, roasted for clarity rather than house style. B Corp certified, home-compostable packaging, and twenty cents from every bag going to nonprofits. Serious about coffee without being serious about itself.
