The Grind Guide
Match your grind size to your brew method for optimal extraction
Read GuideWe've partnered with Barista Brew to bring you New Zealand-made tools that match the quality of your beans
After testing tools from across New Zealand, one name kept coming up in conversations with our roasters and café partners.
When we started Bean Merchant, we quickly realised that great beans deserve great tools. But finding quality coffee equipment in New Zealand was almost as hard as finding great roasters.
Then we discovered Barista Brew - a team as obsessed with coffee quality as we are. They're not just selling tools; they're crafting experiences, one grinder and dripper at a time.
"The right tools don't just make better coffee - they transform your entire morning ritual." - The Barista Brew Team
