Your espresso machine can do more than you think.
A good home setup is one thing. Knowing how to get the best from it is another.
Our Home Barista Course takes you through the fundamentals - grind size, extraction, brew ratios, milk texturing, bean choice, storage and machine care with plenty of hands-on practice along the way.
Two hours in Brookvale, Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Skills you’ll use every morning after.

This is where your coffee actually starts. Before the green beans, before the roaster and long before the first pour, coffee begins as a fruit. What happens at origin from growing conditions and variety to harvesting and processing has a huge influence on what we’ll eventually taste in the cup.

Roasted in Brookvale. Since 1994. More than 30 years of roasting, tasting, learning and refining from our home on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Still curious. Still pushing for a better cup.

The part we’re all here for.
Everything that happens before this moment - sourcing, roasting, tasting, grinding and dialling in - ultimately comes down to what lands in the cup.

A closer look at the roast. Colour, aroma, temperature, time - all small signals that help our roasters understand how a coffee is developing.

Good coffee starts with understanding how to make it.
We’ve been training baristas in Sydney since 1999 - from people wanting to make better coffee at home to professionals behind the bar.
Our courses are hands-on, small and taught by people who understand coffee from the roaster through to the cup. Because when you understand your beans, your equipment and the variables behind extraction, making consistently good coffee becomes a whole lot easier.
25+ years of training. 4,000+ students. Still sharing what we know.

Two Danes originals. Two different ways to drink coffee. Whether you like something rich and smooth through milk or prefer a cup with a little more intensity, choosing the right blend starts with how you like to drink it. ☕️

Before the roast, there’s the green.
Every coffee arrives with its own character and potential. Roasting is about understanding what’s there, then building a profile that brings out the flavour, balance and character we’re looking for.

Great coffee starts with understanding where it comes from.
From where it’s grown and how it’s processed, through to how we roast it, every step plays a part in the flavour you experience in the cup.
It’s knowledge we’ve been sharing with cafés, baristas and coffee drinkers for over 30 years.

Fresh out of the Probat. One of the best smells in the roastery.
Any guesses what we’re roasting? 👀

Another day at the Danes Roastery.
There’s always something roasting, and plenty of coffee making its way from the roaster to your cup. ☕

Coffee is better shared.
From our Brookvale roastery to the cafés pouring Danes every day, there are plenty of hands behind a great cup.
We work closely with our café partners and baristas, sharing what we know and supporting them to get the best from the coffee they serve.
Because what happens after the coffee leaves our roastery matters just as much as what happens inside it.

Coffee Mavericks since 1994.
For over 30 years, we’ve been driven by one thing - flavour.
From sourcing specialty coffee and profiling every roast, to training baristas and working alongside cafés, we’ve always believed great coffee comes from knowing your craft and never standing still.
It’s what made us Danes then. It’s what keeps us Danes today.
Full flavour. No fuss. Just good coffee.

Before a coffee makes its way to your cup, our roasting team spends time tasting, assessing and profiling it through cupping. It’s where we explore aroma, flavour, acidity, sweetness and balance - learning what makes each coffee unique and how we can bring out its best.
A lot of tasting. A lot of conversation. All in the pursuit of a better cup.
Coffee Mavericks since 1994.
