Meet our Master Roaster and Blender: Gilles Gaborit

Gilles is a fully qualified French chef with 20 years experience in running his own catering business and working in many high end restaurants in France, England and in Australia, before transfering his passion to roasting about 10 years ago.
Gilles has brought his cooking experience and flavour knowledge to coffee roasting. The result is each origin he roasts and every blend he develops meets the demands of serious coffee drinkers.

Did you know ...

It was the Dutch who literally brought the coffee plant to the rest of the world. They brought the first coffee plant from Mocha in Yemen to Holland in 1616. Their first cultivation was in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1658.

1 kilogram of roasted coffee requires 4,000 - 5,000 coffee beans.

Dark roasted coffees actually have LESS caffeine than medium roasts. The longer a coffee is roasted, the more caffeine burns off during the process.

Until the tenth century, coffee was considered a food. Ethiopian tribesmen would mix the coffee berries with animal fat, roll them into balls, and eat them on their nomadic journeys!
