Market Lane Coffee

Market Lane is a specialty coffee roastery, cafe, and retailer, born and based in Melbourne. In their own words : "At Market Lane, we are not great multi-taskers. We focus on only one thing: delicious high-quality coffee. Admittedly, we are a little obsessed. We spend our time sourcing beans from some of the best coffee growers in the world, looking for superior coffees that are distinctive and memorable and can stand up on their own without blending. We roast them carefully to bring out the most exquisite characteristics in the cup. We then lovingly brew coffee for our customers, and help you find the right tools to brew to perfection at home. We only serve coffee that is in season, and we love to share the stories of where our beans come from, and how their journeys have influenced their taste."

In a very interesting spin, apart from the roasts and blends that they offer in coffees and teas, and the assorted merchandise for producing great quality coffee at home, they also offer classes and tutoring in becoming a brewer yourself. Start by introductory classes in tabletop brewing methods, and proceed to roasting techniques etc. Their brewing guides are also offered on video. Watch them all here.
