Surry Hills, Sydney · Est. 2017
We source, roast, and brew specialty coffee with obsessive care. Every cup tells the story of where it came from and who grew it.
What we brew
Every drink is made to order. We don't hold espresso or pre-steam milk. Good things take a moment.
Our story
"We started Brew Culture because every cafe we loved was trying to be something else."
Founders Mei and Rhys met at a cupping competition in 2015. Two years later they opened a 40-seat cafe in Surry Hills with a single-group espresso machine and a roaster in the back room.
We now source from 12 farms across Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala and Indonesia. Each harvest we visit at least two of them. We believe the grower's work is the most important part of the cup.
Our roaster — a 15kg Loring Smart Roast — runs five days a week. Everything we sell across the counter and by subscription is roasted within 10 days of dispatch.
"We taste every batch before it ships. If it's not right, we roast again."
— Mei Chen, Head Roaster
In the cafe
We run regular workshops, origin cuppings, and brewing masterclasses. Small groups, no fluff — just coffee and conversation.
