Coffee is our passion, making it sustainable is our focus. http://www.primaroastery.co.nz/ Caffe Prima started out in small city garage in 1995 with its first home blends, Blue Mountain and Diva. Since then, we have moved premises to a warehouse roastery in the industrial area of Woolston, where our small team of coffee fanatics have used their extensive experience to craft a comprehensive range of blends and assemble a line-up of stylish coffee paraphernalia.

Today is International Coffee Day! A day to celebrate the coffee we love and recognise the hard work of the farmers, roasters and baristas behind every cup.

At Prima, our passion for coffee goes hand in hand with our commitment to sustainability and supporting coffee-growing communities. We proudly source Fairtrade certified coffee, helping producers receive better prices, improved working conditions and a Fairtrade Premium to invest in their communities.

Be sure to look for the Fairtrade mark!

A new single origin has dropped at Prima Roastery!

Introducing the Ethiopian Guji Gogogu.

A perfect brew for filter or pourover.

This single origin has notes of black tea, cocoa, berries and citrus.

This coffee comes from the Gogogu washing station in the Kofele district of Guji, Ethiopia. The washing station produces both washed and natural coffees in the traditional Ethiopian way of processing ripe cherries.
Over 700 farmers deliver cherries here from roughly 5km in each direction from the mill. The average farm size is roughly 2 hectares, and coffee is the main source of income in this region.

Pop into the cafe to try this new single origin or check out the link in our bio to purchase beans from our website!

A new single origin has landed at Prima Roastery!

We’d like to introduce you to the Azalea Honey from Sumatra, Indonesia. Ideal for filter coffee or pour overs. This brew has tasting notes of dates, raisin and toffee, along with herbal and floral notes.

This single origin is part of the Bloom Coffee Project.

Bloom Coffee Project is a collaboration of producers whose goal is to change the perception of Indonesian coffees amongst coffee consumers.

By applying a variety of experimental processing methods to their highest quality beans, the producers introduced a wide range of very unique flavour compositions to the coffee market.

Some of Bloom’s micro lots were acknowledged during recent national Cup of Excellence competition.

This single origin is available online or in cafe!

Great coffee is about more than just taste.

By supporting local cafés that use coffee, you’re helping keep small businesses thriving while also backing farmers to be paid more fairly for their work.

It’s a simple choice that has a big impact, locally and globally.

This term, the Hōhepa barista training students, after 10 weeks of learning all aspects of being a barista, came together as a team to run the Prima café for a special Saturday opening. It was a chance to show off their skills to friends and family, and to celebrate everything they’ve achieved.

From serving fresh scones to making coffees, each student gave it their all, creating an awesome, lively vibe in the café.

We’re so proud of the team. It’s been amazing to see their skills grow and their confidence build, not just over the course, but throughout the morning itself.
A huge thank you to the Hōhepa team, Jess, and Natalie for helping organise such an incredible course and a truly special day.
