ABOUT THE COFFEE / REGION

Don Anibal began working with coffee over 20 years ago, initially focusing on conventional coffee. Three years ago, he transitioned to specialty coffee, dedicating himself to refining his processes.

Finca El Platanar, located at 1,600 MASL, gets its name from the many banana plants growing on the property. Over time, Don Anibal has standardized his methods, including a 22-hour dry cherry fermentation process followed by drying the coffee on patios for up to 15 days, ensuring consistency and quality.

He grows varieties like Bourbon, Maragogipe, and Marsellesa, though he hopes to expand his Bourbon cultivation due to its excellent quality potential. In addition to coffee, Don Anibal maintains a milpa, providing food for his family and diversifying the use of his land. 

His dedication highlights the transformation of his farm and his commitment to producing exceptional specialty coffee.

        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.
