Mukasi Coffee Roasters has been roasting small-batch, single-origin beans in New Westminster since 2016, and you can taste the difference in every cup. They specialise in light to medium-roast profiles that highlight origin flavours, and their focus on clarity and balance is why local baristas and home brewers alike seek their beans.

On any visit you’ll find fresh offerings like the Kenya Nyeri AA and their seasonal El Salvador Pink Bourbon, plus signature blends such as the “Riverfront Blend” created for espresso clarity. They roast on a 12-kilo Probat drum in a compact 800-square-foot roastery and café on the Quayside, so beans move from roaster to package in 24 to 48 hours. Beyond whole beans, Mukasi sells pour-over kits, filtered water cartridges, reusable filters, and a selection of locally made pastries and sandwiches sourced from nearby bakeries.

Their approach feels practical and friendly. The team includes two certified Q graders and a head roaster with over eight years’ experience, who calibrates roast curves for each lot and publishes tasting notes online. Staff will walk you through brew methods, offer grind settings for your machine, and dial in espresso shots if you’re buying beans for home. Service is relaxed but knowledgeable, with regular tasting evenings and quarterly roast classes that fill up fast.

People choose Mukasi because they treat coffee like craft work and community fuel. They support local producers by featuring spotlight roasts and donate leftover grounds to community gardens. Whether you want a reliably balanced espresso, a bright filter brew, or the confidence to roast at home, Mukasi feels like the kind of neighbourhood roaster you can recommend without hesitation.
