IGGYS HISTORY

IGGYS COFFEE IS A ECOMMERCE STORE, THAT WAS STARTED IN 2011 BY BROTHERS, ALEKS, NIK AND KIRE TO CONTINUE WITH THE FAMILY COFFEE LEGACY, THAT DATES BACK TO 1985.

OUR SPECIALITY IS THE IN-HOUSE ROASTING OF OUR BESPOKE COFFEE VARIETIES, NAMELY THE EXCLUSIVO AGED COFFEES, FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA, ETHIOPIA AND KENYA.

    

 

THESE CAREFULLY CHOSEN ARABICA VARIETIES, HAVE BEEN PURPOSELY AGED TO REDUCE THEIR ACIDITY AND BRING OUT THEIR UNIQUE AROMAS AND BODY TEXTURE.

FROM AN EARLY AGE, WE HELPED OUT MUM AND DAD IN THEIR COFFEE ROASTERY BUSINESS, AND THAT’S HOW WE WERE INTRODUCED TO THE MAGIC AND EXOTIC FRUIT KNOW AS THE COFFEE CHERRY. 

TO GAIN THE NECESSARY COFFEE INDUSTRY SKILLS, WE WORKED IN HOSPITALITY, AT A HIGH PROFILE CAFE, ALSO OPERATED A DOWNTOWN BRISBANE COFFEE SHOP, RAN A STALL AT THE NORTHEY STREET ORGANIC MARKETS, EXHIBITED PRODUCTS AT VARIOUS TRADE SHOWS, BOTH LOCAL AND INTERSTATE.  

WE ROTATED OUR WORK, BETWEEN THE CITY CAFE AND THE NEWMARKET BASED COFFEE ROASTERY, WE LEARNT A LOT ABOUT COFFEE AS WE HELPED OUT MUM AND DAD.

AT IGGYS COFFEE OUR COMMITMENT IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE, TO PRODUCE A SUPERIOR TASTING COFFEE, INNOVATION, AND PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH A SERVICE AND BACK UP SUPPORT THAT IS SECOND TO NONE.

MOST COFFEE DRINKERS MAY NOT BE AWARE, THAT COFFEE IS THE SECOND MOST TRADED COMMODITY AFTER OIL. ABOUT 2.5 BILLION COFFEE CUPS ARE CONSUMED WORLDWIDE DAILY, AUSTRALIA RANKS IN THE TOP 30 COFFEE CONSUMING COUNTRIES WITH LATTE BEING THE PREFERRED TAKE AWAY COFFEE.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY AND THE RIGHT NETWORK TO SOURCE PREMIUM QUALITY GREEN BEANS, AND HAVE THE RIGHT ROASTING EQUIPMENT TO PROCESS THE DELICATE COFFEE BEANS TO A FINE PROFILE.

                                   

COFFEE ROASTING CAN BE QUITE CHALLENGING AT TIMES, AND REQUIRES UNINTERRUPTED CONCENTRATION DURING THE PROCESS.  AT IGGYS COFFEE, WE ALL HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO METICULOUSLY ROAST AND GRIND THE COFFEE. 

ONCE THE COFFEE BATCH HAS FINISHED, IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE BEANS ARE COOLED RAPIDLY, THE HEAT IS EXTRACTED FROM THE REVOLVING COOLER TRAY, THIS COOLING PROCESS USUALLY TAKES ABOUT SEVEN TO TEN MINUTES.

ONE OF OUR ROASTING MACHINES, IS TURKISH MADE, IT IS GUTSY, RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT IN DELIVERING UNIFORM ROASTING, THE OTHER COFFEE ROASTERS ARE U.S.A. MADE.

OUR BESPOKE AGED COFFEES, ARE DISTINCTIVELY AROMATIC, DESIGNED FOR THE COFFEE CONNOISSEUR, SOMEONE WITH A REFINED DISCERNING TASTE WHO IS SEEKING THE ULTIMATE COFFEE DRINKING EXPERIENCE.  

BRISBANE'S CLIMATE OFFERS THE RIGHT MIX OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY. COMBINED WITH THE COOL OCEAN BREEZES AND WELL VENTILATED STORAGE AREAS, THIS QUALIFIES BRISBANE AS THE IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SLOW PROCESS OF AGEING THE GREEN BEANS.

AGEING THE GREEN COFFEE BEANS IS A WELL GUARDED SECRET, AND NOT ALL COFFEES QUALIFY FOR AGEING.  

IGGYS EXCLUSIVO AGED COFFEE'S ARE SMALL BATCH ROASTED, UP TO 2.5KG AT A TIME. THE COFFEE IS SHIPPED THE SAME DAY OF ROASTING, THIS IS TO ENSURE

THE PRODUCT IS OF THE OPTIMUM FRESHNESS AT ARRIVAL.
