Allpress Espresso is built on relationships. Our success as a coffee roaster is down to the success of the people we choose to partner with – from our first café customer, to our staff around the world and even down to John, who comes in to our Dunedin Roastery Café every morning for a long black. Human connection is why we are here and it’s the important relationships we create that steer us on the right path when we veer off course. We realise that sometimes it’s as simple as connecting two people in a café over a couple of flat whites. Michael Allpress (yes, there’s a guy) was inspired to establish Allpress Espresso after witnessing the specialty coffee revival in Seattle during the late ‘80s. Early on, our obsession with flavour saw a switch from being New Zealand’s first coffee cart, to roasting coffee in the back of a garage and supplying it to cafés around Auckland City. We’ve come a long way since 1986 and today we’re lucky enough to work with over 1000 independent cafes around the world.

We're excited to announce our partnership with Seed the Ground on the Gold Coast. Together, we're keeping our used coffee grinds out of landfills and composting them. Ten of our supplier cafes including Alfred's Apartment, Nectar and Urban Eatery are already on board, and have already collected over 5 tonnes of spent coffee grinds since October 2023.

Coffee and community going hand-in-hand, and as we're witnessing there is a growing fitness community of run clubs, triathlons and sports - and we're so stoked to be able to power these athletes on their journey. Earlier in March, as the title sponsor of the Motatapu 'Allpress Espresso Trail Marathon,' we witnessed thousands of athletes take on various challenges, from mountain biking to ultra-marathons. Our very own Gary Kendrick conquered the mountain biking trail in an impressive 3 hours and 40 minutes, braving the stifling heat with determination. On ya, Gaz! We also sponsored Cheryl Wright, front-of-house superstar at No 7 Balmac. Despite getting roped in at the last minute, she absolutely smashed it and emerged victorious in her age category. Special thanks to our customers Off Piste Coffee Co. and Life’s A Grind for their delicious coffees at the start and finish lines, and to Matt and Fynn, from our Dunedin team, for dishing out our Iced Specialty Coffee cans with a smile on their dial the whole time. Until the next adventure!
Friday arvo knock-off never tasted so good. Last week we hosted our industry friends to our Melbourne Roastery, alongside Melbourne Coffee Merchants. Each roasters batch brewed their take on the Rwandan 'Supporting Strong Women' coffee; Everyday Coffee, Rumble Coffee Roasters, Bench Coffee Co, Ichihaze Melbourne, Standing Room Coffee, BLUME COFFEE, Stitch Coffee and Market Lane Coffee. Of course, the coffee was incredible and the company even better. If you'd like to support the cause, we are donating all profits from Victoria Mukamurenzi's coffee to Supporting Strong Women. This is your heads up to get in quick though, as we are down to our lucky last roasts.

Over the weekend, in partnership with MECCA Brands and National Gallery of Victoria we celebrated the Women In Design Commission, with 2024 artist Christien Meindertsma. Over 2000 people joined in the celebration with workshops and talks with Jo Horgan, Founder and co-CEO of Mecca, and incredible artists Bethan Laura Wood, Tatiana Bilbao and, of course, Christien Meindertsma. Our Allpress cart was buzzing all day serving A.R.T. Espresso Roast and our newly launched Rwandan coffee from Victoria Mukamurenzi. Thank you again for having us MECCA and NGV - it was an absolute joy!
We’ve officially landed at Auckland International Airport. Operated by our trusted hospitality partner Emirates Leisure Retail, this stunning new space has been designed in partnership with talented kiwi designer Deidra Hodgson. You’ll find our signature flavour experience on display showcasing the very best of New Zealand to the world – specialty coffee hot air roasted in Freemans Bay, brewed fresh for your arrival into Auckland. Find our newest café conveniently located in the International terminal, near the arrivals gate. With more than 1.7m visitors arriving into Auckland International Airport last year, we’re stoked to be travellers’ first taste of New Zealand, while welcoming home and comforting kiwis with the flavour they know and love. We look forward to welcoming everyone to Aotearoa, our home.
It's always magical watching an idea go from a wild possibility, sketched down on a scrap of paper to then be turned into one of our favourite activations of the year. Shots and Shanks, in collaboration with Playfair Golf & Goods and TaylorMade Golf Company, at the ISPS HANDA Australian Open, saw many shots being poured out of our La Marzocco Strada and, thankfully, not too many shanks on our 3-hole Allpress putt-putt course. An absolute weekend to remember – thank you to our team who made it all possible!
