Compound Coffee Co. was born out of a desire to combine my love for coffee and my insatiable hunger to experiment and discover more. Here, we get to work with new experimental coffees and top farms around the world. We play with exciting new flavours, research revolutionary technologies and experiment with innovative techniques, all in search of a greater coffee experience.

Our role is to showcase these farmer's coffees at their best. We aim to de-commodify the coffee experience through constant research and experimentation. There is never a dull moment admist this coffee roastery we call home.

"I wanted to create a platform for passionate coffee farmers to showcase their creations and connect with consumers directly. I envisioned a place where consumers could enjoy a more intimate relationship with the farmers and their development through the years. This is the legacy I want to leave behind".

We also firmly believe that customer service is the final and most important link in the chain as the best coffees in the world would still be a poor experience when coupled with bad service. Therefore, we place a huge emphasis on providing our customers with a complete and pleasurable experience through unparalleled hospitality alongside our delicious coffees.

Our approach to roasting is simple: Every coffee posseses their own distinct and unique flavours. Our goal is to preserve and highlight these flavours during the roasting process so that our baristas can extract the full flavour potential from the beans; allowing them to serve you the best tasting cup.

In order to do this, we roast all our coffees very carefully in order not to introduce it with any roasty aromas or flavours that occurs from roasting too dark. Simultaneously, we avoid roasting too light to prevent grassy flavours and overly tart acidity that occurs from underdeveloping the bean.

Our baristas are rigorously trained in the craft of coffee brewing before they are allowed on the bar. They are constantly working on new skills and techniques to further their knowledge and craftsmanship in coffee. Every week, we dedicate a significant portion of our time purely for research and development in the field of coffee; from conducting numerous experiments to inventing new methods and techniques for maximising the extraction of coffee flavours.
