Some people just make good coffee. Others make good coffee and are just bloody good humans.

Mr Edz runs his coffee van out of an old horse float, but when it comes to quality, this bloke doesn’t horse around. Pouring Old Mate blend, Smooth Operator drinking chocolate and also offering retail bags to take home.

A serious coffee professional, a chef by trade, owner of an impressive beard, and one of the kindest, most genuine blokes you could hope to meet.

You’ll find him popping up around Safety Bay, Shoalwater, Mandogalup and at plenty of events around the local area..

There’s real skill behind what he does, but it’s his demeanour that sticks with you. Passionate about his craft and an absolute gentleman.

Great coffee (Old Mate Blend) with the skills to brew it + good people. Pretty hard to beat!

Old Mate is back to familiar territory!

We’re bringing back some familiar components for our much-loved Old Mate Blend. PNG Okalu A is back in the mix, replacing the Colombian Risaralda.

If you’ve fallen for the Risaralda Apia, don’t worry. We’ll keep some aside for our single origin orders, and who knows, the Colombian might be back before you know it!

The Old Mate lineup:
Brazil, Ipe Amarelo – Natural (brings the bass)

India, Plantation A – Washed (brings the punch)

PNG, Okalu A – Washed (brings the sweetness)

Same Old Mate character, back with a familiar list of quality components. 👍🏼

Happy International Coffee Day!

After 23 years in coffee, I’ve been pretty fortunate to get out from behind the roaster and actually see some of where this stuff comes from.

Brazil, India, Java, Sumatra, El Salvador, Colombia and a few other places along the way. I’ve met farmers, producers, exporters and plenty of people who work bloody hard to get coffee from a plant in the ground to the cup in front of you.

So, a few coffee facts for International Coffee Day along with a few of my favourite photos from my journeys.

Coffee is one of the world’s most traded commodities. Not bad for a little seed that gets roasted until it turns brown and keeps half the planet functioning.

Brazil is the world’s biggest coffee producer, generally producing around a third of the world’s coffee. That’s a serious amount of coffee.

And around 125 million people worldwide rely on coffee for their livelihoods, from farmers and pickers through to exporters, importers, roasters, cafés and, eventually, some hipster behind a coffee machine explaining why your flat white tastes like apricot and elderflower.

There’s a heck of a lot behind that cup.

The more you see of coffee, the more you realise it’s about far more than what ends up in the cup. It’s farmers, families, communities, businesses, cultures and an awful lot of work from one end of the chain to the other.

So have a good coffee today.

And spare a thought for the ridiculously long journey that little seed has taken to get there.

Happy International Coffee Day from Little Fish.

50–70% OFF COFFEE? WHO’S REALLY PAYING FOR IT?

If you’re anything like me, once coffee becomes an interest, your algorithms go into overdrive. Coffee, coffee, coffee. Then come the offers. 50-70% off. Bulk deals. Subscriptions. Free shipping. “Premium” coffee at prices that are just so tempting.

A lot of these offers seem to come from Melbourne companies. Ah, Melbourne. The home of Australia’s “best coffee” and in recent times, the most polarising.

After 23 years working in coffee, I can’t help but feel a little annoyed at the tactics.

Is the discount genuine, or is it an inflated price with a big red SALE button? What’s actually in the blend? What grades? What origins? What processing? How fresh is it? Who roasted it, and when?

Because coffee isn’t free. Green coffee costs money. Freight costs money. Roasting, packaging, labour, quality control and delivery all cost money.

So when someone is offering 50–70% off and shipping coffee across the country for next to nothing, where is the saving actually coming from? Sometimes it’s simply a genuine promotion but often the discount becomes the product.

And a huge discount is usually a discount on quality, service and your overall coffee experience, a ‘loss leader’ also intended to convert you (and your data) at any cost. The coffee may be old, purchased on discount or even in a ‘fell off the back of a truck’ manner. Non Specialty grade, purchased as a commodity and frankly it’s coffee with no soul.

At Little Fish, we take a different approach. We price our coffee for genuine value from the start. We offer a subscription discount too, but it’s an actual saving, not an inflated price dressed up as a bargain.

So if a coffee deal looks almost too good to be true, it likely is.

Read the details. Question the claims. Ask yourself whether you’re buying value, or simply buying a discount.

If staying a Little Fish is the price of doing things right, so be it. Remember to support local and check the details! Bold Specialty Coffee, Local Heart, Sustainable Vision. ✌️

‘SPECIALTY COFFEE’ 👎🏼 .

A term that was created to distinguish coffee of quality, care and purpose from commodity coffee.

Now? It’s printed on just about everything.

Traditionally, specialty has been associated with coffee scoring 80+ on the SCA 100 point scale. But even that isn’t as black and white as it sounds. Coffee scoring is subjective, and the SCA’s newer Coffee Value Assessment recognises that a single number doesn’t tell the whole story.

So the lines are getting pretty blurry.

Globally, the majority of coffee is still commodity coffee, traded largely around price, volume and availability. Yet plenty of coffee is now marketed as ‘specialty’.

So how do you look past the label?

1. TRANSPARENCY

What’s actually in the bag? Which origins, regions, producers and processes? If you can’t find out much about the coffee, ask yourself why.

2. QUALITY

Look at the beans. Uneven, dry or poorly prepared coffee can be a pretty good clue that price has had more influence than quality.

And yes, a coffee can technically score 80+ and still be pretty ordinary.

3. WHERE YOU BUY IT

Scale, shelf life, storage and supply chains all create compromises. That doesn’t automatically make supermarket coffee bad, but it does make freshness and traceability harder and compromised.

At Little Fish, we’re driven by flavour, not pricing.

We’ll happily use higher grades, including Grade 1 coffees, in our blends because they taste better.

Some of the coffees other roasters now sell as limited releases or single origin features are coffees we’re happy to blend because they make the overall cup better.

The lines have been blurred.

We honestly don’t care about the lines. We care about flavour.

We pay very good prices for our green coffee and we’re proud to list our origins. We want you to know what you’re drinking and we want the money we spend on coffee to have a positive impact further up the chain.

Because specialty coffee shouldn’t just be about what’s in the cup. It should be about how it got there.

So look past the pretty bag. Ask questions. Test your supplier. Next time you see ‘SPECIALTY COFFEE’, don’t just ask if it is.

Ask what makes it specialty!

Top of the Morning to ya.

Rich, complex and properly candy-sweet.

Built with premium-grade coffees (Yellow Bourbon, Brazil, G1 Washed and Natural Ethiopian) for a ton more flavour, complexity and depth than your everyday blend. Brilliant black, beautiful with milk, and even pretty handy as a cold brew when the weather warms up. A hint of fruit, but in control.

Have yourself a Top of the Morning!
