Criteria Coffee

Criteria Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and co-roastery in Melbourne, Australia, founded in 2018 by Craig Simon—a multi-award-winning barista and roaster who's competed on the World Barista Championship stage and was Australia's first Q-Grade Instructor. They roast single-origin beans and a seasonal espresso blend, with new releases popping up regularly. Their subscription delivers beans roasted just the way you like them, straight to your door. But they're not just about the bag: they run workshops and classes to help you brew, taste, and even roast better. The whole operation is built around sharing knowledge—so if you're a home brewer looking for expert-led coffee and a slice of Melbourne's coffee culture, this is your crew.
