The Grind Guide
Match your grind size to your brew method for optimal extraction
Read GuideI've teamed up with Barista Brew to bring you New Zealand-made tools that match the quality of your beans
After testing tools from across New Zealand, one name kept coming up in conversations with the roasters and café partners I work with.
When I started Bean Merchant, I quickly realised that great beans deserve great tools. But finding quality coffee equipment in New Zealand was almost as hard as finding great roasters.
Then I found Barista Brew — a team as obsessed with coffee quality as I am. They're not just selling tools; they know their stuff and they genuinely care about helping you brew better.
