New Zealand-based specialty coffee roaster, Allpress Coffee, is strengthening its global footprint, investing in new roasteries in Melbourne and London.
The new roastery in Reservoir in Melbourne's north will significantly expand the company’s Australian roasting capability by consolidating former production facilities in Melbourne’s Collingwood and Sydney’s Zetland. The roastery will start supplying Allpress customers next month.
A new London roastery in Tottenham will also open in mid-2026 to support growing demand across the UK and supply a new café in nearby Farringdon, which is set to open around the same time.
The new facilities embed sustainability with advanced roasting technology designed to improve energy efficiency and strengthen supply chain resilience.
Allpress Coffee global director, Nicola Richardson, said the investments reflect strong demand from hospitality partners.
“Allpress is guided by long-term partnerships, uncompromising standards and a commitment to brewing better days for our people, cafés, communities and the planet,” said Richardson.
“Allpress continues to perform ahead of market across multiple regions, but our expansion has never been about being everywhere. Rather, it’s driven by steady and considered expansion in the right places, with the right partners – from the coffee farmers we’ve worked with, some for decades, to the cafés we serve every day – delivering exceptional coffee without compromise.
“These new roasteries allow us to scale sustainably while protecting what matters most: the integrity of our coffee and the relationships behind it. Our signature flavour won’t change. What will improve is our ability to deliver that flavour with even greater consistency, reliability and care.”
Founded more than 30 years ago in New Zealand, Allpress has since grown steadily across Australia, the UK, Japan and Singapore. The company stated this investment marks the next chapter in the Allpress journey by expanding capacity while enhancing roasting quality, consistency, supply resilience and environmental performance.
Allpress Coffee head roaster, Cam McFadyen, said the new roasts have a very familiar flavour profile, but with more depth, sweetness and body.
“One of our team summed it up perfectly during a cupping, saying it tastes like our Espresso Blend or A.R.T. on a really good day,” said McFadyen.
“That’s exactly what this new equipment helps us achieve consistently: the rich sweetness, balance and clarity that have always defined Allpress coffee.”
The Allpress specialty coffee range is blended and precision Hot Air Roasted to achieve its flavour, enjoyed at over 1500 independent cafés around the world and available to purchase online for at-home use.
