Who we supply

Coffee set up for the way your business runs

Every business goes through coffee differently. Here’s what we usually sort out for each kind of customer. If you’re somewhere in between, tell us how you work and we’ll fit around it.

Offices and co-working spaces

The coffee runs out on a Monday, someone buys whatever’s on special, and the bean-to-cup machine sounds unhappy for a week. We fix that with a standing order that arrives before you run low.

  • Beans picked to suit bean-to-cup machines and keep them running smoothly
  • A delivery schedule matched to how much your team drinks
  • One invoice, one contact, no one in the office has to remember to reorder

Usual setup: 1kg bags of whole beans, delivered weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Cafés, restaurants and coffee shops

Your customers notice when the house espresso changes from one week to the next. You need a coffee that tastes the same on the busy days, arrives on time, and doesn’t eat your margin.

  • A house espresso blend plus single origins for a guest grinder
  • Consistent roast from batch to batch
  • Help dialling it in on your machine when you switch over
  • Your café’s name on retail bags, if you’d like to sell beans

Usual setup: 1kg bags or bulk bags, on a weekly schedule, with extra drops when you’re busy.

Guest houses, B&Bs and boutique hotels

Guests notice the breakfast coffee. Good beans, ground for your plunger, filter machine or espresso machine, make a noticeable difference without changing anything else about your service.

  • Coffee pods for in-room machines, plain or printed with your own design
  • Your property’s name on the bag if you want it
  • Order more in season, less in winter

Usual setup: 1kg bags for the kitchen, 100g bags or pods for rooms, 250g bags for retail.

Order quantities

Low to no minimum order

You don’t have to commit to a pallet of coffee to work with us. Start with what you need now. As your orders grow, the price per kilo comes down.

Getting started

No minimum order. Try a coffee or two, see how your team or guests like it, and take it from there.

Regular orders

A standing order on a schedule that suits you. Better pricing per kilo, and you never have to think about reordering.

High volume

Bulk bags and our best pricing for cafés, restaurants and multi-site businesses. Extra drops when you’re busier than usual.

Packaging

Pack sizes that fit how you use coffee

Choose the bag size that makes sense for your space and how quickly you get through it. Whole beans, or ground to match your machine, plunger or filter.

100gHotel rooms and hospitality packs
250gRooms, retail shelves, gifts
500gSmaller offices and kitchens
1kgBean-to-cup machines, cafés, breakfast service
BulkHigh-volume cafés and kitchens
PodsIn-room machines, plain or custom printed

Need something else, like a specific bag size for a hamper or a different grind for each site? Ask, and we’ll quote on it.

Private label

Your brand on the bag

If you’d like coffee under your own name, we’ll supply it in bags with your label, from 100g hospitality packs up to 1kg. We also make coffee pods for boutique hotels and guest houses, which can be printed with your own design. It works well for cafés selling beans, hotels with their own in-room range, and businesses giving coffee to clients.

  1. Tell us what you have in mind: the coffee, bag sizes and roughly how many.
  2. We help you pick the right coffee and packaging for it.
  3. Send us your label artwork, or let us know if you need a hand with it.
  4. We pack, label and deliver. Reorder whenever you need more.

Minimums and lead times for private label depend on the packaging, so we’ll quote them up front.

Questions

Common questions

Is there a minimum order?

No, not to get started. Order what you need. Regular and larger orders get better pricing per kilo, and private label has minimums that depend on the packaging, which we’ll quote up front.

What pack sizes can you do?

Anything from 100g hospitality and room bags up to 250g, 500g and 1kg bags, plus bulk bags for high-volume customers. We also make coffee pods. If you need something specific for a hamper or a retail shelf, ask and we’ll quote on it.

Do you make coffee pods?

Yes. We produce coffee pods for boutique hotels, guest houses and offices with in-room or desk machines. They can be supplied plain or customised with your own design. Tell us which machines you use and roughly how many you need, and we’ll quote.

Can you put our brand on the bags?

Yes. We can supply coffee under your own label for cafés, hotels, guest houses, shops and corporate gifts. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll take you through options, minimums and timing.

Where do you deliver, and how quickly?

Across Cape Town and the Western Cape. Regular customers get a fixed delivery day. If you run short between deliveries, message us and we’ll do our best to get an extra drop to you quickly.

Which coffee is best for a bean-to-cup machine?

Most offices go with The Blend of Life. It’s made for bean-to-cup and espresso machines and works well with milk. We’ll suggest something else if your team prefers a lighter cup.

Can we change our order later?

Any time. Change coffees, quantities or the delivery schedule, or pause over the holidays. There’s no long contract.

Do you rent or supply coffee machines?

Machine rental or supply can be arranged and quoted on request, depending on your setup and volume. Ask when you get in touch.
