Zeke's Serious Coffee

Welcome to Zeke's Serious coffee. We roast award winning, shade grown, fair trade, organic coffee in New Zealand.

About us

We have been roasting since about 2000, and won the silver award for Best Roasted NZ Espresso at the inaugural NZ Coffee Festival in 2004, so our coffee is as good as we keep telling everyone! We subsequently went on to win the silver award for the Best Flat White in the 2005 awards.

In 2007 we won a second award (bronze) for the Howler Monkey blend in the Espresso category as well as a bronze in the Filter/Plunger category, confirming we are one of the top roasters in New Zealand!

We decided that we would only use Shade Grown, Fair Trade and Organically grown coffee in our blends right from the start. We specify this to our coffee broker every time we order green coffee.

We roast the coffee at our roastery at Clarks Beach, Auckland.

If you want to visit - give us a call to check we will be around when you get here. If you just happen to be passing and we are around - you are welcome to pop in! However please be aware that if we are roasting, we may be a little distracted — it's perfectly acceptable to be obsessive about coffee — and we take our roasting pretty seriously - after all, we drink it too!

Coffee can be ordered using our low-tech simple web order / query form

What is all this shadegrown etc stuff?

Have a look here for information on what Fair Trade, Organic and Shadegrown mean, and why they are important in coffee.

What does it taste like?

Coffee!

As with other roasters, we blend our coffee and each blend will be individual. At present we have a choice of two award winning blends, plus our brand new blend for plunger/filter — oh — and decaf.

Our policy is to provide freshly roasted coffee, in quantities that ensure you always have fresh coffee. If you only use 100 grams of coffee a week, that's what we want to supply you with.

Coffee — once roasted — has an optimum freshness period of maybe 2 to 3 weeks, we like to supply around a week to two weeks worth at a time. Our minimum supply amount is 100 grams, for anything over 100 grams you choose the quantity and we will supply it.

However, please be aware that we will set conditions as to how you serve coffee that will form a part of any supply agreement - we want you to serve the best possible coffee. Obviously this includes any training or troubleshooting that is required.
