Our coffee is exceptional. This is no empty boast -- we know it is true because of the years of passion, care and attention we have put into delivering you the freshest, most delicious cup of organic coffee that we think you have ever tasted.
Before it even gets to Stringbeans coffee bar, the product is hand-picked, vetted and roasted by an Artisan Roast Master, carefully shipped -- and has of course the highest green credentials.
Next, our world-class barista-trained team use the latest technology to achieve the right temperature, to tamp coffee consistently, to grind coffee on demand – all ensuring your cup of coffee is the very best it can be throughout the day.
