Boxer Brew Coffee co.

Here at Boxer Brew, we can be considered coffee fanatics.  We like to learn more about coffee, read about coffee and above all, drink more coffee.  As our slogan proclaim: “It’s all about the coffee!”.

We would like to offer premium quality coffee at the best price possible.  We do this by directly buying green coffee beans from the importer, contract roasting and then selling to coffee lovers.  We make awesome espresso based drinks as well as Red cappuccino and Tumeric super food lattes at our local farmers market.

We do not know where this journey will take us, but we intend to enjoy every moment of it!

Latest news – We are now proudly a member of SCASA, the Speciality Coffee Association of South Africa!

This will be a growing lists, but let us start by the informative tutorial videos embedded from the guys at Stumptown Coffee.

Books I have read, esp The Chocolate and Coffee Bible as published by Hermes House.  This is well worth buying and I highly recommend this.
