Aucuba Coffee Roasters

Editor's Review

Aucuba takes its name from one of the many legends in the history of coffee: on his way to a monastery, a weary old wise man named Aucuba took it upon himself to introduce the beans he discovered on his journey to some monks. So too Mark (a qualified Q Grader) has taken it upon himself to introduce some of his amazing beans and roasts himself to those making the journey, emphasising a philosophy of teaching people about coffee, where it comes from, different approaches, and being able to see a roast in action.

There is a dedicated brew bar where you can get an impromptu coffee lesson from the micro roaster and sample some of the coffee.
 A blend for smooth milky drinks and an option of two select single origins for black coffee are on offer, a batch brew for some quick filter or up to four options for pour over, usually a v60 or if you feel like something special, a syphon brew, each highlighting distinct varieties.
 The venue itself is interesting – its design is a small mesh of two different styles, one modern and one vintage, trying to honour what used to house a small bank then printing press. It’s open but cozy, bright, inviting with a lot of greenery. The white and blue pineapple wallpaper behind the brew bar is definitely a sight to see.
