“I really look forward to my coffee every day! Quality is guaranteed with The Coffee Benders! You’ll never get a bad coffee if you stick with these guys!”
“What would I give for a bag of benders beans?
1. The best bit of a sandwich - like, the middle bit with all the things.
2. The top of a really good muffin.
3. The carpark closest to the beach if I got it and they missed out.
4. My inheritance.
5. My firstborn.
No one roasts like they do, no one cares more about sourcing ethically like they do, no one provides better customer experience than these guys and literally no other Coffee Roasters would provide the kind of assistance that they do. You can send them videos of your home espresso attempts and they workshop it until I'm making a perfect shot. So ask me again what I'd do for a bag of beans and if the normal avenue of just paying the cost of a bag wasn't available to me for some reason then yes, I'd give them my firstborn.”
“Delicious coffee that comes right to my door... I couldn't ask for anything better!
Knowing how much Mace and Rich love their coffee, I know I'll never have a bad cup of the benders blend.”
“I happened upon The Coffee Benders when I was looking to buy another product that they sold. So I tried their coffee and to my delight I found out that it’s delicious. So now that’s where I always buy my coffee bean. I love it that I can get fresh beans in just a 250 g bag because it’s really just me that drinks it at home. In the supermarkets you struggle to find whole beans in smaller bags and then it just hangs around too long past its best. So I really love the fact that I can get just a small bag from The Coffee Benders and Rich & Mace are amazing and I just wish them all the best with their future business.”
“Small roastery with the highest quality coffee. Their service and commitment to clients is incredible and they made coffee a fun tasty experience!
Amazing coffee and amazing humans!”
“Rich and Macey are the biggest coffee w**kers EVER - without being actual w**kers!! :). Their coffee is by far the best in town. Having it delivered every fortnight with a little personal note is a lovely little treat.”
“My wife is only satisfied with her morning brew if it's from The Coffee Benders (I've been married long enough to know when my opinion counts). And I agree, The Coffee Benders never miss! Their roasts consistently bring out the best flavors and work beautifully across filter, pourover, and espresso. But don't just trust my tastebuds. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a serious coffee enthusiast, you need to try a bag - or if you're indecisive grab a sample pack and taste the range. You won't be sorry.”
“BEST beans in town! Absolutely reliable and consistent quality. Incredibly fast turnaround from order to delivery. Actually the most hospitable hospos we have encountered. ORDER NOW YOU WONT REGRET TRYING THESE GUYS!”
“Coffee is the best in Newcastle, for sure!!
I buy their beans every week and it never ceases to impress. You can tell this isn’t just a job for Mace and Rich but a passion that they pour so much energy into.”
“I am obsessed with the Coffee Benders beans. So much so, that I still order their amazing beans after moving interstate.
The subscription service is super easy to set up, quick and efficient and I thankfully never run out of coffee.
We simply can't have our morning coffee any other way!
Love, love, love!!!”
“Stepping into Rich and Mace’s café feels like walking into a love story, where each item on the menu is a testament to the art of love. From the moment you taste the coffee, roasted by their very hands, to the delicate sweetness of the treats and the heartiness of their sandwiches, you realize this is no ordinary café.
This place is run on love — not just in the food but in the very air. Rich and Mace are so deeply connected that you can feel it in every bite, sip, and smile they share with each other and their customers. It's as if their passion for one another infuses every creation, making everything taste just a little bit sweeter, richer, and fuller.
You can see the hard work they pour into every detail, yet it's the overwhelming sense of love that lingers. Their café is more than just a business; it's a love letter to everyone who steps through the door.
I know this place is run by two hardworking humans, but I’ll never stop over-romanticizing my experience here. Because how can you not, when every bite feels like love?”
“We love The Coffee Benders for our caffeine fix. We've been running the Kinetic Blend in the office espresso machine for the last 6 months and it's been keeping the crew charged and up ready to go. Five stars!”
“Let's start by saying the coffee is delicious and we've been super happy with it over the last few years, no issues at all. Now I need to mention Mace and Rich!!! Their service and personal touches are second to none. They will go above and beyond your expectations in providing advice and support in helping you enjoy your at home coffee experience and love for all things coffee. Their passion for coffee will rub off on you. We won't go anywhere else for our coffee, ever. Thankyou so much. I must say I look forward to my own little personal thankyou messages each month. Makes my day. Keep up the service guys, you're both amazing 👏 ❤️🤗☕️”
