Our Story — Roasting in Adelaide Since 1999
Adelaide born, raised and roasted. We started in Beverley, Adelaide, in 1999. A family owned specialty coffee roastery built on one idea — great coffee, no fuss.
Two generations on, we're still roasting, still delivering, still talking coffee at the kitchen table. We roast daily at our Grange Road roastery in Findon, supply cafes across South Australia and beyond, and run our own café, training facility and service department — all in-house.
We're not here to reinvent coffee or save the world one cup at a time. We're here to roast great coffee, look after our customers, and keep doing what we've done well since 1999.
Big roasters — but small batch at heart.
Who is altura coffee?
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Noun: The quality of making
something beautiful.
We take great pride in our craft; in our experience and expertise in crafting the best cup; in our personable and scrupulous approach to supporting customers. We care so much about what we do and what we put out in the world. Whether you’re looking at our blends, limited release coffees or single origins; know it wouldn’t be in an Altura bag if we didn’t love it too.
Never wavering in our pursuit for brilliant coffee. Only getting better. More honed, finessed, and refined. More flavours, stories and experiences. More great coffee.
What we do
PRACTICALITY
Â
Noun: The ability to
be sensible and realistic; to be manually adept.
Â
Pragmatic, useful, realistic, reasonable, matter of fact, hands on; the Thesaurus checks out. We do things on purpose, with purpose. We do things because they make sense. Because we’ve done our research and the hard work to understand the best next step. We want to offer solutions for our wholesale coffee clients that simplify the tricky and enhance the everyday. Because efficacy, efficiency, and doing the right thing are important to us; they make sense to us.
Â
We keep it in house, all under one roastery roof. From our delivery drivers and phone reps to our coffee roasters and machine techs, we do everything ourselves: deliver, service, fix, install, train, upgrade, refill, reorder, roast. Making sure everything’s up to Altura scratch and customer convenience, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
our vision
ADVENTURE
Â
Noun: An exciting undertaking;
thirst for the new, unknown, and exciting. Â
Â
Our daily question, besides ‘what to do for lunch’, is: how can we go further? With ears to the ground, arms open wide, and creativity unbound in our practice and perspective. Never settling, stale, or sitting still. We’re always pushing, experimenting, and exploring; playing, tinkering, and innovating. Driven by a deep, intrinsic desire to find more and find great. More coffee, more life.
