ABOUT THE COFFEE / PROCESS

DETAILED PROCESS:
Ripe cherries are selected from the healthiest trees, brought to the processing station, washed and disinfected. Floaters are removed.

OXIDATION:
At room temperature for 24 hours in open plastic drums. 

FERMENTATION PROCESS:
Anaerobic fermentation for 60 hours, temperatures between 27°C, then short oxidation for 16-20 hours. Then immersion in water at temperatures between 30 °C with recirculation, adding microorganisms reproduced from the same variety.

Finally, again anaerobic fermentation for 30 hours in plastic thanks. Anaerobic yeast fermentation highlights the unique fermentation process used to create the coffee’s flavour profile, which can pique the curiosity of coffee enthusiast who appreciate the art and science of coffee production.

QUENCHING:
Water is drained, and oxidation continues for 40 hours, aiming for the coffee to reach a temperature of 60°C. Cold water is added and then hot water again to eliminate microbial load. Quenching is a specific method of rapidly cooling down coffee beans or coffee cherries. It is a critical step in various coffee processing methods.

PRESTINE PRECISION DRYING:
Coffee is dried in a hermetically sealed stainless-steel dehumidifier until it reaches 18%. It follows a rest period for 18 - 24 hours and then continues until it reaches 11%.  Pristine Precision Drying is used to describe this system that maintains the coffee’s pristine quality during the drying stage.

        FAQ

        When will I receive my coffee?

        Our coffee is sent via Australia Post .
        Tracking services are provided and you will receive your tracking number once we dispatch your order.

        Parcel Post by AustPost normally takes under 6 business days and Express Post by AustPost normally under 3 business days.

        Upon receiving your order, we generally send your order out within two business days as we aim for you to have the freshest roast possible.

        We do have roast schedule's and some orders may be delayed waiting for those roast days - we will let you know if there's any lengthy delays.

        Please allow extra time over public holidays or during major holiday periods and weekends.

        Please note if you order later than Thursday, your order might not be able to arrive until Tuesday the following week.

        Please understand drivers are human, some errors can happen. When it happens, don't hesitate and contact us at hello@symmetrycoffeeroasters.com.au   or "Chat with us" from the website.

        Can I pickup my coffee?

        Yes, you are more than welcome.
        Mon - Sat 7:30am-2:30pm
        Sundays and Public Holidays access are closed


        Walk through "Little Things Cafe" you will find your order to the right as you enter the roastery gates on a black steel shelf with your name/# stickered on your parcel.

        Place your order, then give us some time to roast and pack for you (usually less than two business days).

        Once received ready for pickup notification, come in, check in, and say hi to either Matty or Po.

        Can you grind my coffee?

        Sorry, we sell whole beans only.

         
        The reason being is that pre-grinding freshly roasted coffee means that it affects the integrity of the coffee and this makes the coffee expire a lot faster. It's like having artisan bread being pre-sliced or a piece of fruit being left out in the sun!

        I have other questions

        Send us your queries from our website "chat with us" function, our roasters Matty & Po will get back to you as soon as possible, if they are not online, you will get an email response.
