Six of One Coffee Roasters

Inside The Mills, the old Defiance Flour Mill precinct in Toowoomba, a family who relocated from Portland, Oregon during the pandemic roasts coffee sourced from small lot farms around the world. Jason left a 25-year career as a software executive to start the business with his wife Lucy; the name nods to their six children rather than any coffee jargon. The Roastery Door offers a genuine tasting menu rather than a single house blend, and the beans have started collecting hardware to match, including a gold medal in the Espresso category at Golden Bean Australasia in 2026, one of the largest roasting competitions in the world, with a path through to the World Series in Fiji. It is a newer entrant to Darling Downs coffee, built inside a heritage industrial building rather than a shopfront, and it treats regional Queensland as a serious place to roast rather than a stopover on the way to somewhere else.
