I made a trip to Di Bella Roasting Warehouse (50 Holt St, Surry Hills) this morning intending it to be a quick stop for a coffee and some beans - I ended up staying for an hour!
It is a great place to visit - nice open concept cafe and shop combined. the coolest thing is that there is a massive roaster to the side- and theyve built a little "bar" around it so you can have your coffee while watching it roast in front of you!
One of the staff members took time out to just have a chat to me about roasting, the background of the company and bean profiles. I mentioned i wasnt sure which beans I wanted to buy - I ended up walking away with free samples of many different blends so i could try for myself (complete with roast dates written on). the customer service was nothing short of excellent!
I even got to try a bit of coffee from a huge cold drip thing which ive never seen before! 1 drop every 3 seconds - now thats a slow extraction haha. It was surprisingly nice!
there was also heaps of machines and grinders (out of my budget
) and various bits of coffee equipment to browse through.
All in all it was a fantastic experience and Ill definitely be back. If youre after fresh coffee and great advice and service then id urge you to check it out.
