Platform 9 Coffee Roasters

Platform 9 is a small-batch speciality coffee roaster, wholesaler, educator and supporter of our local coffee culture. Since 2011, we’ve been here to help café owners, baristas, the coffee serious and the coffee curious with all our coffee roasted, packed and sold under the one roof.

We provide a wide range of services, including sourcing equipment, alternative brewing gear and barista tools along with staff training and a mountain of support along the way. And because we love nothing more than sharing our passion for coffee, we also provide multi level coffee training for school groups, coffee businesses and home barista enthusiasts.

We’re Glen and Julia. Platform 9 is a family-run business that’s allowed us to combine our backgrounds in hospitality and business.

Hospitality is full of energy, challenges, and heart—and we love being part of it. We’re here to support you with dependable service and coffee you can count on.

Some of Glen’s earliest coffee memories include regular visits to Pellegrini’s Espresso Bar with his Dad. Coffee was a constant source of nostalgia, with the old stovetop brewer bubbling away in the house as he grew up.

Glen holds CQI & SCA Q-Grader Certifications, the highest industry qualifications for assessing specialty coffee and Julia has a degree in economics.

If you get the chance to visit our brew bar, you’ll likely meet Nikhil, our head barista who brings passion and precision to every cup.

His coffee journey kicked up a notch when he moved to Sydney from Nepal five years ago. He is always exploring ways to elevate a cup of coffee, from fine tuning the perfect espresso recipe to mastering the art of pour-over coffee.

Nikhil has snagged multiple first-place wins for his latte art and placed second at the Barista League in Sydney.

When he's not behind the Strada, you’ll can usually find Nikhil spending time with his wife and fur baby, May.

Charlotte oversees everything dispatch-related in the roastery, ensuring the smooth and efficient flow of online orders and coffee from the roastery to cafes, offices and everything in between.

From picking and packing coffee orders, to cleaning pails and bagging beans, she keeps everything humming seamlessly behind the scenes.
