Dan packs all our freshly roasted coffee every day and helps with order assembly and deliveries. Dan lives down the road and was born and reared in Co. Wicklow. His favorite coffee is a latte of our award-winning Antigua blend but he doesn’t know we give him a triple shot every morning to make him pack faster!
Robert our very friendly delivery man is from Greystones, the largest town near the roastery. Always happy to help with any query you may have and very fond or a cafetière of our single origin Sumatra Lintong.
Yvonne from Roundwood just a few miles away at the foothills of the Wicklow mountains keeps our roastery very clean and tidy. What we love about Yvonne are the delightful baked treats she brings to work almost every week! Always laughing and smiling her favourite coffee is one of our custom blends for Whelehan’s Wines in a flat white.
Trevor our roastery manager was the first employee at McCabe’s Coffee assisting Stephen with the roasting back in 2010. Trevor has a great passion for the quality and consistency in his roasting and has worked hard developing new and better techniques over the years. A triple shot flat white of our popular McCabe’s blend gets Trevor fired up for a day’s roasting.
Ieva our fully qualified Q Grader never stops thinking about coffee. Her passion for barista training and customer service is clear once you meet her and has now started visiting the farmers who grow our coffee at origin. A keen competitor in all the championships, you’re likely to find her sipping a natural Yirgacheff from Ethiopia on her v60 filter.
Jonathan was the first sales and customer service representative at McCabe’s Coffee. A keen espresso drinker of our Antigua blend he travels all over the country to ensure our customers have everything they need.
Portia looks after accounts but also helps out with packing, deliveries, customer service, IT and is also the head of the engineering section when machines break down! Portia’s favourite drink is a flat white in our award-winning organic blend. She is the prime motivator in our going green department.
Stephen keeps a close eye on all the goings-on at McCabe’s Coffee. Passion for great tasting, well-presented coffee drives Stephen to continually improve and grow every part of the business. Together with Portia, they try to visit the farmers annually that grow all the coffee they roast. Stephen has a real passion for all aspects of the business and has 11 years coffee roasting and sales experience.
Steven is the Order Manager at McCabe’s Coffee dealing with all the invoicing and order assembly. He has many years in the coffee industry as a barista and managing a number of cafes. A flat white of our single origin Sumatran coffee puts a smile on Steve’s face.
Sumba. With just 6 months experience on the job, our latest team member, Sumba has provided great help with green coffee evaluation from origin countries. With outstanding olfactory sense, she can detect the most minor flaws in deliveries from each country we buy from prior to roasting.
We only purchase top grade 100% Arabica from single estates and small co-operatives in the best growing areas around the world.
We choose to work with farmers who care as much as we do about quality, consistency, and taste. Understanding each other’s needs has helped us produce some amazing award-winning coffees.
We selected Aquiares estate in Turrialba, Costa Rica, for the taste of their delicious coffee, their dedication to the Rainforest Alliance and their community spirit.
Diego Robela manages the estate where pickers own their own houses and a creche, church and shop have been provided. The coffee from this beautiful farm is the main ingredient in our Pura Vida blend.
They have a fascinating varietal garden and a keen interest in experimentation.
Prabhakar Baskar and his son Rohan own Pampadampera estate in Kerala, India. We fell in love with this beautiful estate covered in mature trees providing shade for the coffee and natural habitats for bees and birds.
The estate surpasses the Rainforest Alliance criteria by having more trees than required. Particular attention was given by Prabhakar and his team this year to improving quality and yield by way of new organic fertilisers, additional plant husbandry and taller plant height.
John has been living on the Jungle estate, Nyeri for 20 years in the foothills of Mount Kenya.
The bright sweetness of this coffee really stood out from other estates we visited.
The rapid expansion of Nairobi had made it difficult to get pickers and farm workers resulting in much higher wages being paid.
We found their dedication to quality and interest in new cross breeds fascinating.
