I first discovered Zentvelds coffee almost 20 years ago when I visited the plantation. Such a great truly local business, friendly staff and love the high quality coffee beans and great flavours. My favourite is Ernesto, so good made in my AeroPress. Now buy online and happy with efficient service and fast delivery.

Ernesto Roast has been my “go to” for as long as I remember. Occasionally try something else but I always come back to the reliable medium roast smooth and luscious Ernesto. Great flavours – but still light enough to enjoy them develop and deliver that “mmmm”!

Ernesto is smooth and strong coffee without the bitterness, a lovely brew and is always on rotation in our house.

Bold, smooth coffee without the bitterness . Hints of chocolate just add to the decadency. Also pairs well with the various nut milk, for the perfect cup. Have tried many blends from Zentfeld but this is the one I keep going back too.. Delivery is always prompt and the beans are so fresh.

Great strong coffee for our stovetop. Also being naturally lower in caffeine is a bonus. Customer service and delivery is also awesome

My dad is a huge coffee lover, he can’t live without 2–3 espressos a day. With his sensitive stomach, only a few roasts agree with him. Zentveld’s Ernesto is not only gentle on his tummy, it’s also fabulous for his taste buds, now his absolute favourite coffee blend in the world.
Bonus points: it ships smoothly all the way to Belgium for him, and when he is in Australia we love picking a couple of kg up in person from your beautiful farm in the Byron Bay hinterland. Gift-giving is easy now too 🙂 Ernesto for Christmas and birthdays, every time!

When we lived in Sydney, my wife’s favourite coffee was Illy. We moved to Coffs Harbour in 2012 and our coffee journey was challenged at best with many local roasters whose coffee was not the best. A conversation with a surly barista who ran a coffee cart attested to the fact that the local roasters were taking their roast way too far (read beyond French roast). But there was hope. The barista recommended Zentvelds coffee. I ordered a small batch of Ernesto coffee beans and the rest is history. Ernesto is the blend we have been drinking and cosuming (Machiattos, Espsresso Martinis, Mochas (for the kids), the most awesome Chocolate Mud Cake with six shots, and coffee flavoued ice cream). In short, happiness in a cup, glass, bowl, or plate. Our daily ritual is not complete without Ernesto.
