Marvell Street - Specialty Coffee Roaster in Byron Bay

Marvell Street Coffee Roasters started in 2009 in a tiny shop on Marvell Street in Byron Bay. It soon outgrew the space, moved to the Byron industrial area and went all in on roasting. The aim is coffee that is “sweet, balanced and clean”, roasted “with restraint”. It supports Friday Hut Coffee, a local producer in Byron Bay, and builds long-term relationships at origin: it has bought Luis Edier Reinoso’s coffee from Tolima through Caravela since 2017. People in Byron are invited to drop in at the roastery.

Every batch is checked with an Agtron colour meter against its target roast degree, then cupped. Roasting happens every Monday. Marvell Street also supplies cafés, retailers and hospitality venues, with barista training, brewing guidance and help with equipment, bar layout, workflow and recipes.

The range comes in three groups. Milk Coffee holds the blends built for milk: Big Block, roasted slightly darker for body; Firebird, which the roaster calls its unofficial house blend; Organic, made only from certified organic coffees; and a sugarcane decaf from Colombia. Black Coffee holds seasonal espresso roasts for drinking without milk, among them The Daily Grind, made from two AA Colombian coffees, and a natural Castillo from the Manos Juntas micromill in Cauca. Filter Coffee holds lighter seasonal lots, such as a Kenyan AB microlot from the Karinga factory in Kiambu and a washed geisha from Finca Vista Hermosa. An archive of past single-origin releases goes back to 2017.
