Brisbane's Best Coffee Roastery: Discover the Excellence of Fonzie Abbott
The Heart of Fonzie Abbott: Our Newstead Roastery
Earlier this year, we moved our roastery to Newstead to expand our capacity and enhance our operations. This move was not just about space but about continuing our commitment to quality and excellence. Our head roaster, Costa, oversees the process using a 60kg batch roaster, ensuring each batch meets our high standards.
Sourcing the Finest Beans
At Fonzie Abbott, we believe that great coffee starts with great green beans. We source our coffee from some of the best coffee-growing regions in the world, including Papua New Guinea, El Salvador, Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. Each origin brings its unique flavours and characteristics, contributing to our diverse and rich coffee offerings.
Signature Blends and Single Origins
Highside Blend
Our most popular blend, Highside, is a harmonious mix of beans from Brazil, PNG, and El Salvador. This blend is a staple at our flagship stores and is loved for its rich chocolate notes, balanced by a sweet, fruity, and vibrant body with a slight spice in the tail.
"If you've visited any of our flagship stores, chances are you have tasted Highside, Fonzie Abbott's signature blend."
Ethiopia - Guji
One of our standout single origins is the Ethiopia - Guji. This exceptional coffee comes from 400 small farmers, many of whom have dedicated over 45 years to coffee growing. The ripe cherries are meticulously sorted and processed at the Dekitu Processing Station, ensuring only the top-quality cherries are used. This beautiful lot presents a cup with aromatic florals, juicy dark berries, and fresh figs.
"The Dekitu Processing Station ensures the farmers get paid a fair price for their coffees, making it a highly sustainable production."
Witness the Roasting Process
One of the unique aspects of our Newstead roastery is that it is fully visible from the cafe. Customers can witness the roasting process up close, adding an immersive and educational element to their coffee experience. This transparency is a testament to our commitment to quality and our passion for coffee.
Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing
Our 'Farm to Palm' initiative is a cornerstone of Fonzie Abbott's operations. This initiative allows us to forge direct relationships with incredible coffee farmers, ensuring we source our rotating single origin coffees and seasonal blends straight from the source. This approach not only guarantees the quality of our coffee but also supports sustainable and ethical practices.
A Legacy of Passion and Innovation
Fonzie Abbott was founded in 2010 by Dan Pappas, a former race car driver with a passion for surfing, travel, and good times. Dan's vision was to create a brand that he was genuinely passionate about, one that inspired him to live to work. Coffee was the perfect answer, and thus, Fonzie Abbott was born. This spirit of passion and innovation continues to drive everything we do, from sourcing the finest beans to perfecting the roasting process.
"Back in 2010, our founder, Dan Pappas, was inspired to create a brand that he was genuinely passionate about; something that inspired him to live to work."
