Australia's Coffee Culture
Over the past 21 years Australia has evolved into an extremely sophisticated coffee culture. There has been an enormous influx of espresso machines reaching all states and even in remote rural areas. The tendency towards roasted coffee is growing as well as the high end gourmet market. Almost every household now carries an espresso machine and a few caffettieras or plungers. Thanks to special merchants with foresight that have introduced various exotic origins to further develop the gourmet scene. Although Australia is a small market we would have to be one of the most advanced coffee cultures in the world.
Design / Blending
It is commonly said that roasting coffee is truly an Art. In this context Art is referred to the skill of the roaster. Each roaster has their own technique and without a doubt produce different coffees even if the origins are the same to begin with.
Mocha Coffee's passion and roasting expertise combines skill, technique and art to design a range blends which have no boundary point defining what is often commonly known as coffee. Our Passion and Art are personally expressed in Mocha Coffee’s style of blends known to have nutty flavours and lengthy finishes over a range of characters to fulfil our communication with you.
The Science of coffee is the physical heat energy transfer which converts raw/green beans into what is commonly known as brown aromatic roasted coffee. It is the design of the blend adrift from the norm which we leave for your interpretation. The art of coffee is our Passion whereby Mocha Coffee’s expertise decides which origins, at what proportions to blend each and to what degree of roasting to create our designs(style) resulting in a range of consistent fresh flavours for your enjoyment.
The roasting process is the most influential stage of (the design) production. The roast will determine the development of the true character of the coffee. It is so critical to the final flavour and aroma that it requires highly sophisticated equipment with accurate monitoring instruments and most importantly a skilled operator with years of experience.
The green beans are placed in large coffee roasting machines consisting of large rotating drums which are exposed to heat. The constant rotation ensues an even flow of heat is applied to the beans. Initially the moisture is evaporated from the green beans and they take a pale yellowish colour and lose as much as 20% of their initial weight. As the process continues the beans start to take a more cinnamon to light brown colour and this is where a huge transformation starts to occur and the beans almost double in size. As the roasting temperature continues to increase the beans colour deepens and the beans start to become brittle.
The final stage in the roasting process is the most crucial stage in determining the desired flavour characteristic. In this stage the natural acidity in the coffee can be converted to a rich aromatic sweet caramelized taste. Many chemical compositions occur and contribute to the final aroma and flavour. Once the skilled roaster has determined the roast level, the coffee is poured out into large cooling pans with rotating arms where cool air is drawn through the product. Once cooled the product is then transported to the weighing section for packing.

Decaffeinated Mountain Water Process is a very natural and pure method of decaffeination. Mexico is gifted with the enormous and beautiful mountain, the Pico de Orizaba which provides clean pure water from its glaciers used in this unique decaffeinating process.
During the decaffeination process, the green/raw coffee beans are soaked in this pure mountain water extracting the caffeine. Soluble flavour components of the coffee beans are placed in this water prior to soaking ensuring the coffee beans maintain their integrity and unique characteristics. By adding the flavour components, only the caffeine diffuses from the beans and the flavour stays intact. This water now containing soluble components and caffeine is filtered removing the caffeine. The water now containing only soluble components from coffee beans is used again in the extraction process. The end result is coffee that is 99.9% caffeine free with its original flavour characteristics.
