Strictly Coffee Roasters

First established in 1997 in a tiny spot in North Dunedin. Dan and Malina took the reigns in March 2020 transforming Strictly coffee into what you see today. We are super stoked to be an independently owned roastery connecting with and supplying lovers of great coffee with their brew at home and in cafes and workplaces across NZ. Our busy cafe Roastery is located at 137 Frederick St, Otepoti where you can come visit, enjoy a brew and watch your coffee being roasted on our Loring Kestrel Roaster.

Coffee is more than a drink, it's a ritual, a break in the journey and opportunity to connect. As Roasters we love connecting with our customers and sharing the bean to cup story. From the producers and their origins through to showing you how we roast on our Loring Kestral and then nerding out about the best way to brew your beans.

We are so incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful country and we believe that it is our responsibility to not just use sustainability as a nifty marketing catch-phrase but actually integrate it into the DNA of how we operate. Some of our initiatives are:

• Sending our wholesale beans out in reusable buckets; Last year we saved 26,000 bags going to landfill by transitioning our Dunedin based customers to reusable buckets.
• Encouraging reuse every time both for wholesale and retail.
• We offer keep cup discounts that are significantly more than what we pay for the throwaway cup.
• We only use eco packaging, if you must use once, then please recycle or compost! 
• Composting our coffee husks, grinds and reusing and giving away our used coffee sacks.

We are not perfect and have so many more goals and plans as we continue on our sustainability journey. Watch out for our blog posts as we evolve and continue to challenge the way we do things. 

Traceable Coffee Origins: Paying the Farmers fairly for their product.

It is so important that we value the producers of the coffee that we consume. Through the choices we make as consumers, our buying power helps support fair pay working conditions and reward for a product that gives so many of us so much joy on a daily basis.

Over the past three years we have been forging relationships with our green been suppliers and sourcing coffee that we know is sustainably sourced.

We use a mix of Fair Trade Organic, Directly sourced and Co-operative coffee sources. This ensures that we know where the coffee comes from, quality standards are met and most importantly the farmers and communities that they are part of are thriving not just surviving.
