Bean Merchant

Get New Zealand’s Finest Coffee Roasts
Delivered Direct To Your Door
Artisan, Gourmet, Specialty,
It’s All Here In Your Online Coffee Store

All coffee is not equal. They are all grown, processed, and roasted differently, which all influence how the bean tastes in the cup. As a coffee drinker, if you want to find that perfect coffee (that we’ve all tasted before, and we are all looking for), we need to know all about how altitude, processing method, roast profile, climate, and bean type influence the taste of each coffee. This is a lot of things to know.

Our main aim at Bean Merchant is to find the brew that’s right for you. We’ve gathered the best coffee roasters that New Zealand has to offer, and collated their coffee beans. We have explored the various attributes that these coffee beans have, we’ve examined the pathway from farm to cup, and found what sets each coffee bean apart.

We’ve created a matchmaker quiz, which asks you for your preferred tastes in the coffee you drink, and then matches you with our enormous range of coffee beans. You know your coffee preferences better than anyone. So tell us! We’ll curate our coffee selection to what you love the best. We don’t have any pre-built packages. Use our matchmaker quiz to create rolling coffee options, or select your favourites and sip on the best. Even use the quiz to determine your match and then buy it one-off from the store. The choice is yours, and the Bean Merchant world is your oyster. Relax and enjoy the moment with your perfect combination.

You get to try it, rate it, and then get a different bag to try next. We’ll change your subscription based on the rating you give so you can narrow down your coffee drinking habits to only get the beans you love and want.

Drink coffee through a plunger, french press, moka pot, stovetop, espresso machine or chemex? No problem. We have coffee beans that suit every brew style. Need to shop local so you don’t have coffee shipping all over the country? No problem. We have coffee beans that are near you.

Nothing beats freshly brewed coffee to bring your home to life. There’s no better way to relax or enjoy good times with family and friends. Bean Merchant brings the coffee roasting experience direct to your door with outstanding coffee from New Zealand’s top roasters. Choose different beans from different roasters each time — or cruise home on your favourites.

One of the best things about Bean Merchant’s coffee subscription service is that there’s no contracts and no cancellation fees. We don’t believe in locking people into something unnessesarily. Explore our coffee your way, and when you’re done, hit the cancel button.

We will deliver coffee straight to your door wherever you are in New Zealand. Never run out of coffee beans again with your set it and forget it subscription service.

The best thing about it? Is that shipping is free on all our coffee, all of the time. Don’t stress about being rural, or urban, or south island, or north island, just accept that wherever you are we will deliver you coffee with. no extra hidden charges.

There’s more to the good life than coffee shops. Buying coffee and making it at home can give you a barista-style experience for nearly $1 a cup. No more going out to cafes and spending up to $7.00 just to get your morning fix.

All our coffee is freshly roasted. Some of it is SO fresh that you have to let it degas for a little bit before you can start drinking it. Freshness in coffee is so important, that’s why our supermarket coffee is nearly tasteless. It has been sitting out the back or on the shelves for up to 6 months before it gets to the front, and to the consumer. Not ours. Our orders go DIRECT to the roaster to ships DIRECT to you. No middle man. No warehouse. No storage facility where the coffee is sitting around going stale. Only the best, and only the freshest.

Our list of roasters is always growing. We aim to have the most extensive list of partner-roasters in New Zealand. We want to offer you the most choice so that we can match you perfectly with coffee from around the island. New Zealand is known for it’s coffee scene, and there’s no reason for that scene not expanding to your house.

If you’re into giving gifts (there’s always some opportunity) we’re into that too! Give the coffee lover in your life a voucher for a coffee subscription. They’ll love it. Especially if they are matched to the best coffee beans they’ve ever tasted in their life.

We’ve been featured in multiple media channels, Radio New Zealand, The New Zealand Herald, and the Wairarapa Times Age. They love what we have to offer, and you will too.

Here’s what our current customers are saying about our service:

Nicholas Smith ☆☆☆☆☆
One of the treats of working from home is a regular supply of freshly roasted beans from selected small batch suppliers based on your own taste preferences. A welcome surprise each week in your letter box. Jono and his team are very responsive and helpful if you want assistance along the way. Go for it!

Simon Gurnsey ☆☆☆☆☆
Bean Merchant provides such a good service. Taking the Quiz, ‘Find your coffee flavour profile’ really helped get us started however, the taste test rules, so we subscribed for a while to try a range of beans before switching to buying them by the kilo through the Bean Merchant website. We’ve liked the very quick turnaround and great friendly communication from Jono. When we feel like a change I will subscribe for, maybe, 250 grams at more frequent intervals, before settling into a new coffee. The photos aren’t of coffee! Just the view from my front porch. I’m sitting there drinking the Tanna coffee, not the more appropriate Three Llamas!

Stream Ecologist ☆☆☆☆☆
I am very particular about my coffee and this is Superb coffee! Great people to deal with. We had one hiccup with shipping and it was fixed immediately.

KJ Smith ☆☆☆☆☆
I am loving Bean Merchant! After listening to an interview with Jono on RNZ, I thought I’d #lovelocal and give it a go. I love how you can choose the particular flavour of beans you like and your preferred method and grind – and that I’m supporting Kiwi businesses and coffee roasters. I don’t think I can ever go back…
