Altura Coffee are a South Australian owned and operated roasting house and they source the best AA+ Grade arabica beans from Columbia, Ethiopia, Brazil and other countries like PNG. They have many varieties, blends and roasting levels, but our most popular coffee bean is the TUSCAN BLEND. It has a caramel flavour that mixes well with all the milks we offer. Of course a full fat milk is best, where the fats really bring out the creamy texture and allows the barista to pull the milk to its full potential.

Of course we offer skim milk, soy milk, lactose free milk and almond milk. We source milks from our local milky, to support our local farmers that work so hard to bring us the goods everyday.

Our other staple blend of coffee is our DECAFE and that bean has been freshly ground to give those that are conscious of their caffeine intake, but still enjoy the full flavour of a beautifully crafted espresso. Our new blend on the block is the almighty ALMALFI, which is a stronger bodied bean that gives those that want extra guts in their coffee, the hit they need.

We also offer a medium roasted FAIRTRADE coffee that ensures a better deal for deveoping country producers. It has a smooth full bodied flavour that delights the senses.

There’s nothing better than a really good cup of coffee. And there’s nothing better in the world than AA Grade coffee beans. That’s why only 5% of all of the Arabica coffee beans grown worldwide have an AA Grade rating. And that’s also why Altura Coffee only uses premium AA Grade Arabica coffee beans.

AA Grade beans are grown at high altitude without the use of pesticides. They are matured for up to two years, maximising the sweetness of the natural oils in the beans. The result is organically grown coffee beans with enhanced sweetness and a fullness of flavour that is obvious in both aroma and taste.

Freshly roasted in South Australia, Altura Coffee is delivering the very best in coffee experiences.

Our most popular requested coffee is a cappuccino and it begins with a shot of AA Arabica beans extracted from our EXPOBAR machine, (all supplied by Altura Coffee in Western Adelaide) milk is then steamed and textured to a perfect 64C to allow the golden liquid to blend without burning. The layer of shiny foam that finishes off this creation, sits just on the rim of the mug. We then dust the domed textured foam with chocolate powder, so that your first sip is an instant success.

Our next popular coffee is the cafe latte, and it too begins with a perfect shot, then completed with the beautifully textured milk but only a thinner layer of shiny foam sits just inside the rim of the cup…allowing us to manipulate the milk to some beautiful patterns and latte art.

We then move onto our flat whites, which again begin with a shot of espresso, then topped off to just under the rim with hardly any froth at all. This too can also have some varieties, but only on request. A fun fact fact is that FLAT WHITES are generally only found in Australia and New Zealand, as our history in coffee has really morphed from a few different cultures…but in true Aussie style, we tend to make things our own….and the Flat white is the closest espresso that our older generation, in particular, are more familiar with, after a few decades of instant coffee served with milk and sugar.

Of course, we are trained to create coffees in a particular way, but if you like it hotter or cooler, with extra flavours or shots, or with a scoop of ice cream, all you need to do is ask and we will craft your espresso just the way you like it.

See our full menu to see what kind of espresso you would like to try…you could even have a different one for everyday of the week if you so choose….there are plenty of varieties to try.

So what’s the difference between a short black, long black, latte, cappuccino, a macchiato, an affagato, mocha and anything else you have heard? I think these pictures will do the trick!
