For more than three decades, we’ve focused on sourcing, roasting and serving coffee with care.

Coffee Supreme started with Reds Cafe in Wellington. At the time, specialty coffee was still finding its footing in New Zealand. We were curious about flavour, consistency and how far coffee could go when quality became the standard.

That curiosity shaped the business. We began roasting to control quality and to better understand the coffees we were serving. From there, we grew steadily, driven by a belief that coffee should be reliable, expressive and enjoyable every day.

We were part of the early wave of specialty coffee in New Zealand and Australia, helping shape a cafe culture where quality became the standard, not the exception. So we began travelling. We built long-term relationships at origin. We paid premiums for quality and consistency. We learned, improved and refined. We still do.

Each season, we source green coffee through trusted partnerships and roast it with respect for its character. Our approach is disciplined and deliberate. Consistency matters. Systems matter. Relationships matter.

Today, Coffee Supreme works with cafe partners, hospitality groups and retail customers across New Zealand, Australia and Japan, delivering specialty coffee built on long-term relationships and consistent quality. In Japan, there is a word for it: Kaizen. Continuous improvement. Raise the bar, then raise it again.

We believe quality and hospitality go hand in hand. We are as focused on supporting our cafe partners as we are on flavour in the cup. Our reputation has been built on reliability, long-term relationships and showing up properly.

We have been roasting since 1993. We are proud of that. But longevity only matters if you keep earning it. Our purpose is to enhance people’s lives by cultivating connection, creativity and collaboration through coffee. We’ve been working towards that for more than three decades. And we’ll keep showing up to do it, every day.

Put the kettle on.

We take care to buy the good stuff. It costs more. It takes longer. It requires planning, travel and trust. But it’s worth it.

Great coffee starts with great green coffee. The flavour in your cup is directly linked to the quality of the coffee we source. That’s why coffee sourcing has always been the foundation of what we do as a specialty coffee roaster.

We don’t buy from a warehouse across town. Securing the coffees we love involves months of communication, logistics and coordination to bring exceptional green coffee from origin to our roasteries in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.

Coffee Supreme sources coffee through long-term producer relationships, trusted exporters and direct trade partnerships built on consistency and transparency.

While the roasting process might seem like a lot of heat and big bits of spinning steel, it’s actually a very delicate and precise operation that takes dedication and skill to do well. We see it as our duty to ensure that the hard work already invested in the coffee is preserved and celebrated in every cup - every coffee has a story and we strive to tell that story on behalf of its maker.

This is the pointy end of coffee and it’s a delicious place to find yourself. The world of specialty coffee opens the door to more complex flavour profiles, stories and knowledge, if that’s your thing. Coffee, just like good ingredients at a restaurant, is truly seasonal and seasonality brings variety. As well as perfecting our regular coffees, our coffee menu looks to celebrate this seasonality and diversity. After all, coffee is a fruit, and fruit tastes best when it’s fresh.

Whether you're serving it in a cafe, drinking it at home or making it for your staff, we know drinking better coffee can make your day. For us, it’s about delivering better coffee experiences every day.

Our purpose is to provide a better coffee, however you want it. From fresh coffee simply turning up on your doorstep or sitting pretty in your shopping trolley, to a better quality instant to take on your adventures. Drinking better coffee has never been so easy.

And it doesn’t matter which corner of NZ you’re in, we deliver to all four of them, and heaps of aisles too. We believe ethical and delicious coffee can be more accessible. Consistent quality means a great experience, all the time, every time. It’s the kitchen upgrade you can do yourself.

We often say great things happen over a cup of coffee, and we love it’s ability to pull people together for a common cause. Our engagement in our community is focused on helping to foster personal connections over better cups of coffee. This is where new friendships are formed and we get to experience genuine and meaningful human connection.
From chucking on our own events or supporting others throwing their own, to assisting community organisations and charities, we hope to bring people together in meaningful ways that make for more supportive and prosperous neighbourhoods.

We understand that although coffee grows on trees, enduring environmental sustainability doesn’t. We understand that our environment is precious, and we need to take care of it. We know that coffee has an environmental footprint, and proactively reducing it is our goal.

We’re now measuring our impact on the environment: we’ve published a comprehensive sustainability report and have now partnered with Ekos, an environmentally focussed social enterprise, to find solutions to most effectively reduce our carbon footprint.

Thank you for being part of our journey and supporting our efforts to lessen our environmental impact. This is a journey about always getting better, not waiting to be perfect; it’s about taking steps in the right direction and continual improvement.
