For the love of exceptional coffee

Watch: Our story in 5 minutes

Hear from our founder, Kev Burrows, on why he built Iron & Fire and his practical tips for choosing and brewing better coffee.

  • “Melbourne taught me that amazing coffee can be everyday coffee.”

  • “Engineering meets taste—our process is built to bring the best out of each bean.”

  • “If you’re consistent, flavour shows up in every cup.”

How we roast, why it matters

 Kev’s coffee obsession started young and sharpened during a decade in Melbourne’s coffee scene. Back in the UK, he blended that experience with his background in science and engineering to design roasting profiles that bring out the very best in every bean —batch after batch. Today our team roasts a curated range of blends and single origins for homes and hospitality, always with freshness and flavour first.

Speciality Coffee

Coffee with a conscience

We partner with importers and farms that share our standards for fair pricing, worker welfare, and environmental stewardship. Many coffees we offer carry certifications (e.g., Rainforest Alliance/Organic) and we also source directly from independent farms where impact is clearest. Packaging and takeaway materials prioritise compostable/recyclable options, and we keep tightening our footprint year on year.
