ABOUT US
Our philosophy
If Peter Pan could lay off the fairy dust and pour a rosetta, he would be part of our team. Our approach is to keep it simple, real and fun. If the coffee doesn’t excite us, why bother. We are out here to bring you authentic specialty coffees and teas, and we will leave the BS to everyone else. We are not interested in cutting corners, selling you junk or doing half measures. Let’s Make Coffee Great Again!™
Our Team
If you want to be part of our team, you’d better get your act together. It’s not good enough to just pass, and scrape by with a slack jaw and unfocused eyes. If you think you have what it takes to make waterfalls of lemonade flow along banks of chocolate brownies, then bring your best game face and send your cv to work@doubleshot.co.za If we don’t answer you, its not because we don’t care, we may just be on a tea break.

Frequently Ask Questions
Are your products fair trade?
Some are, some aren’t. Some are organic, and some aren’t. They are chosen on quality and season primarily. It’s not that we don’t believe in fair trade, its just that we think there are better ways about it. Remember, fair trade is not the only way to trade fairly.
What is your stance on direct trade etc?
Ok, it’s enough of these kind of questions already. Let me learn you a thing or two about the free markets and how we think that they can best support enduring, sustainable practices!
Let’s say we serve you an amazing cup of coffee. But let’s say it costs a couple extra dinero – but it’s so totally worth it that you cannot wait to come back for another, and after a few of them you won’t be able to choke down crappy coffee anymore.
That takes a pretty skilled barista, using solid tech and exceptional beans! Such a skilled barista is gold to a café, and certainly worth paying a premium for. But, that barista cannot spin gold out of straw, and you need to give him/her a great coffee to work with, or its going to taste like strbkcs! So, you need to get it from a great roaster, who has real skill, and has invested time into understanding how to coax the flavours out of a bean. Such a roaster is gold to a roastery and his/her skills are certainly worth paying a premium for! But, even the best roaster cannot polish a t-rd and he/she’s going to need great beans to make the magic happen… And so on, you get the idea, and that’s how the free market provides an avenue for real enduring sustainable practices through value creation. Its not a zero-sum game, and no one is giving a grudging hand out. So yeah, we do direct trade as well, but driven primarily by quality.
