A Note from Karla & Angus, plus a Heads-Up for Christmas Orders 🎄

Over the past few months, we’ve been settling into our new roles as the faces behind Beechworth Coffee Roasters and we thought it was time to properly introduce ourselves.

We’re Karla and Angus, coffee lovers, parents and now the proud new owners of this small but passionate roastery here in Beechworth. Taking over from Ben has been both exciting and humbling. We’ve spent the past few months roasting your favourite blends, meeting so many of our customers, and continuing the tradition of crafting beautiful, small-batch coffee for our community and beyond.

Our Journey to Beechworth

Up until a few years ago, we were living and working in Melbourne- busy jobs, long commutes and dreaming of a slower, more connected life. Karla worked in corporate supply chain and manufacturing and Angus has been with Microsoft for more than 15 years. Like many, the pandemic gave us a nudge to finally make that “tree change” and Beechworth felt like the perfect place to put down roots.

Coffee has always been a part of our lives, not just as a drink, but as a ritual. Wherever we travel, we seek out local roasters and cafes to connect with the people and stories behind each cup. So, when the opportunity came up to take over Beechworth Coffee Roasters - a roastery we’d admired for years, we couldn’t say no.

Now, with our two kids, Ava (11) and Rafael (8), we’re lucky to call this community home. Karla, who grew up in Peru, a country steeped in coffee-growing heritage, now leads the roasting and deliveries, while Angus looks after the behind-the-scenes operations that keep everything humming. Our goal is simple: to keep bringing delicious, ethically sourced coffee to this beautiful region, roasted with care and purpose.

A Fresh New Look Is Coming

Over the coming months, you’ll start to see a fresh new look for Beechworth Coffee Roasters. We’re updating our branding, think new merchandise, signage, flags and packaging, all designed to reflect who we are today while staying true to what you love most about our coffee. Don’t worry: the blends and roast profiles you know and love aren’t changing.

Christmas Ordering Dates 🎁

As the holidays approach, now’s the perfect time to plan ahead for your Christmas coffee stash. Our last roast day before Christmas will be Monday, 22 December, with deliveries going out on Tuesday, 23 December.

We’ll be taking a short break to rest and recharge from 24 December to 5 January with roasting resuming on Monday, 5 January.

Please get your orders in early to make sure you’re stocked up for summer mornings, festive catchups and those much-needed coffees after Christmas lunch.

Thank you again for being part of the Beechworth Coffee Roasters community. Your support means the world to us and we can’t wait to share more of what’s brewing in 2026.

Cheers .... Karla & Angus
