Allpress Coffee accelerates growth while staying true to its craft
Speciality coffee roaster Allpress Coffee is strengthening its global footprint with significant investment in new roasteries in Melbourne and London, reinforcing its position as one of the world’s most respected specialty coffee roasters.
Founded more than 30 years ago in New Zealand, Allpress has since grown steadily across Australia, the UK, Japan and Singapore. This investment marks the next chapter in the Allpress journey by expanding capacity while enhancing roasting quality, consistency, supply resilience and environmental performance.
The new facilities embed sustainability with advanced roasting technology designed to improve energy efficiency and strengthen supply chain resilience.
The new state-of-the-art roastery in Reservoir in Melbourne's north will start supplying Allpress customers next month. The roastery will significantly expand Allpress’ Australian roasting capability by consolidating former production facilities in Melbourne’s Collingwood and Sydney’s Zetland. The Allpress cafés at these sites will continue serving exceptional coffee and seasonal food to their communities.
Meanwhile, the new London roastery in Tottenham will 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.
Nicola Richardson, Global Director of Allpress Coffee, 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,” Ms Richardson said.
“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.”
Head Roaster Cam McFayden said: “When we tasted the new roasts side-by-side with what’s currently in market, the flavour profile was very familiar – 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. That’s exactly what this new equipment helps us achieve consistently: the rich sweetness, balance and clarity that have always defined Allpress coffee.”
Allpress’ recent growth is not limited to Melbourne or London. A new Allpress café, training and cupping space opened in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley in January while expansion is also on the horizon in Japan.
As Allpress enters its fourth decade and the global speciality coffee sector continues to evolve, its focus remains unchanged: partnering with outstanding cafés and investing in people, infrastructure and long-term relationships.
