About ONZ Roastology

Welcome to ONZ Roastology, where our passion for coffee transcends borders and flavors. Our journey began in 2017, amidst the captivating landscapes of Iceland, where a humble visit to a small unassuming artisanal Coffee Roaster café - Reykjavik Roasters which forever changed the way I perceived coffee.

It was in this quaint unassuming café called “Reykjavik Roasters” that I first encountered the art of freshly roasted beans, served alongside handcrafted Icelandic bread. The combination was nothing short of extraordinary, igniting a new found appreciation for the complexities and nuances of coffee. Prior to this moment, coffee had been a mere acquaintance, consumed with a generous dose of sugar and milk, derived from the convenience of instant coffee or vending machines.

However, the revelation of freshly roasted beans at Reykjavik Roasters in their own roasting machine at the front of the store as you enter the cafe, unveiled a world of flavours previously unexplored. The depth and richness and textures of each cup surpassed anything I had ever experienced, leaving an indelible mark on my palate.

Inspired by this transformative encounter, my journey continued with the gift of a POD machine, graciously bestowed upon me by my wife for our anniversary. These sealed pods with fresh origin grounds, boasting flavourful coffee with elevated fresh origin beans, this in turn further elevated my coffee appreciation and enhanced my experience expanding my senses with new pleasures, rendering instant coffee a distant memory.

As the years progressed and the world grappled with the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, I found solace and inspiration within the confines of my home. With newfound time on my hands which otherwise would have been spent going out and exploring the world and meeting friends, I delved into the depths of coffee and its culture, immersing myself in online resources and stumbling upon familiar faces such as James Hoffman in memories locked in distant parts of my cerebrum. I had seen hime previously on Darren browns show. unknown to me at the time he was to become a coffee connoisseur a knowledge base of all things coffee.

Like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, I was ensnared by the allure of fresh beans and the myriad of brewing methods available. From Mokka pots to French presses, AeroPress, and my favourite the elegant Syphon coffee maker, each method offered a unique glimpse into the artistry of coffee preparation. unlocking distant memories I have been by chance a passer by observer or participant in, these re discover the myriad of coffee brewing techniques. By far my favourite is the Syphon Coffee pots as the fond memories of watching Breaking bad. The nostalgia of the memory in particular a very captivating scene where an eccentric laboratory engineer builds his own coffee apparatus in the underground laboratory showcasing his intellectual prowess to his new peers Jessy and Hisenburg aka Walter White where they work for Augustus Fring.

The fascination of coffee made in such a captivating chemistry configuration had an alluring drive to taste such coffee prepared with precision, in this scientific apparatus, I thought was just whims of fantasy. I was corrected and my heart was comforted, I found solace that I too would be able to experience such wonderfully extracted coffee at home with a much streamlined and simpler apparatus in the form of the Syphon Coffee brewer, invented in 1830 Berlin, by Leoff.

Over the years, I explored, tasted, and savoured coffee in various forms, which deepened my passion and intensified my appreciation for the enjoyment of coffee.

Driven by a desire by the small but impactful memories all culminated into this new found passion that I was bursting to share with others, ONZ Roastology was born.
