Martin Street Coffee are mighty fine roasters; in fact, they’ve been named one of the best in Victoria, so you’re in safe hands, coffee lovers. They roast daily, at their Blackwood Forest-based roastery. Perched amongst the treetops in the Wombat State Forest, the crew air roast on handcrafted, bespoke air roasting machines. They draw and heat fresh forest air and use it to produce coffee that’s smooth, full-flavoured, sweet; never bitter. This earthly approach uses 20% less energy and emits 90% less smoke than traditional gas and wood-fired roasting methods. On Vic Country Market choose varying sizes of their signature blend or decaf.
