Floozy - Newcastle

“Our fellow coffee lovers see their baristas on a daily basis, sometimes more than our friends! That’s what coffee can do; it connects people. It’s also why Kmac and Hal opened their café and Floozy flagship store, Besties, in 2019. Most days the team are at Besties’ location in Newcastle NSW, roasting, packing and brewing.

In 2020, like many businesses, the pandemic threw a curve ball and the coffee stopped flowing. We were forced a change direction. Floozy’s wholesale roastery and the café operated out of the same tiny space. Therefore, the decision was made to close Besties, meaning we had to go back to skeleton staff and operations.

Since then, and through a lot of trial and error, Floozy’s wholesale roasting has grown and expanded, and plans are in place for Besties to reopen at some stage! Hal has since become a huge part of Floozy, transforming it into family business. We are excited to share our journey in making sustainable, ethical and delicious coffee with you!“

Arlin Andino

"Arlin Andino comes from a coffee growing family, so in some ways she has always been part of the production of coffee. It wasn’t until 2017 that Arlin started producing coffee on her own farm. Arlin says that it's more than a job to her, coffee is her passion and she really loves the product. She has learned that producing high quality coffee is not improvised, it is not something that happens just at the moment of the harvest. She has learned that it is a process and a constant effort has to be made at every step of production. Ontop of producing coffee, Arlin focuses on the protection of the sources of water on the farm. She feels proud that she pays fair prices to the people that work on the farm."

Jose Ignacio Gomez

"One of the most stable components in José Ignacio Gómez's life has been coffee! His father was a lifelong farmer dedicated to the production of coffee, and from a young age, José remembers helping his father on the farm. Through the time spent with his father, José learned a lot about coffee production. In 2002, looking to test himself, he decided to purchase a farm and began producing coffee on his own.

Over the years, with the growth, José Ignacio has hired a farm manager and a person in charge of fermentation and drying. He has experimented with different processes, always aiming to achieve better coffees and distinct profiles. Jose's involvement and dedication on the farm have led him to make a success of his specialty coffee venture. He understands that producing great quality coffee is only the first step, and finding the right buyer is just as important."
