Elusive Coffee

From passion to perfect roasts - small-batch specialty coffee, roasted with care in Adelaide.

At Elusive Coffee , our mission is simple: to bring great coffee to everyday people at affordable prices, without compromising on quality or sustainability. What started as a hobby has grown into a deep-rooted passion for coffee roasting, and we're excited to share that journey with you.

For over a decade, I roasted coffee at home, driven by a love of discovering new flavours and experimenting with different beans. After years of honing my craft, I took the leap from home enthusiast to commercial roaster, founding Elusive Coffee right here in Adelaide.

Our goal is to bring the same quality, traceability, and care I poured into home roasting to our community - at prices that make great coffee accessible to everyone.

Who we are: a specialty coffee roaster in Adelaide, South Australia, founded in September 2024.

Where we roast: at the Settlement Roasting facility in Adelaide - every order is roasted to order, in small batches, on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Where to find us: no café - we sell online, through local stockists, and in person at Adelaide markets: the Adelaide Hills Farmers Market, Sunday Funday, Gilles at the Grounds, and the Campbelltown Moonlight Markets.

What we sell: hard-to-find single origins, house blends, decaf, subscriptions and sample packs - roughly $17–$31 a bag, shipped Australia-wide (free over $60), plus wholesale supply for SA cafés and retailers.

At Elusive Coffee , freshness, sustainability, and transparency are at the heart of everything we do. We source only the finest beans, ensuring they are traceable and ethically produced. Each bag we roast tells a story - one of dedication to quality and commitment to the farmers who grow the beans.

We work directly with sustainable farms, so our beans are traceable from crop to cup. Every bag you buy delivers outstanding flavour and supports responsible, eco-friendly farming.

We're proud to call Adelaide home and to be part of its thriving coffee culture. Whether you're picking up a bag of Elusive Coffee at a local market or brewing a cup from our beans at home, we love connecting with fellow coffee lovers and sharing our passion.

We roast in small batches to highlight the unique character of each origin. From the moment the beans enter the roaster to the moment they're sealed, we monitor every step to bring out the best flavour.
