We discovered or rather i had already discovered (when i walked 8-10 kms per day)on a small street , parallel to karangahape road,/k road, an artisan coffee blender and roaster.
Craig Miller has been doing this for 24 years and seen his ilk rise from 10 to about a 100 throughout Nz. they make an amazing blend of coffee beans from Papua New guinea,Colombia, and Kenya and the roast and the blend has remained unchanged since theyve started.
Since Craig wants to remain faithful to the Italian traditon of the espresso and cappucino, they use a standard sized cup for espresso and the cappucino. theres a small sign which says, no grande , no trim.( which we liked a lot, oh yes their coffees very good as well).
He was also generous enough to allow a huge number of studnets whom we are teaching to come in have a look at the roasting process, and taste the coffee. For that alone and the passion which we has, and we hope to instil in some of our students, we say”thank you Craig”.
To get to Millers coffee, which is open only from 730 until 1230 Monday to Friday- you can go via Upper queen street towards the bridge leading to New North road, and after crossing K Rd, turn right onto Cross street. the smell of fresly roasting coffee beans should hilt you soon enough. Enjoy.
