Grid Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and operated coffee roastery at 172 Eglinton Road, Mornington, Dunedin. The Dunedin Roastery is the home of Grid Coffee, offering coffee and beans on-site, along with machine sales, repair and maintenance, and barista training.
The business started with a simple passion for a great cuppa, and the team prides itself on friendly service and daily banter in the roastery. Visitors are welcome to head in for a coffee, a yarn, and to pick up some local treats alongside their beans. Beyond the roastery itself, Grid supplies coffee wholesale to independent cafes around New Zealand, offers coffee for offices, and runs Grid Tech, a servicing arm available for semi-commercial machines like Rocket, VBM and Isomac, regardless of whether Grid supplies the coffee.
Grid Coffee Roasters is run by Nick van der Jagt ("The Boss") and Gavin Mockford ("The Chief"), and also offers coffee subscriptions for anyone wanting regular beans delivered.
Grid Coffee Roasters operates from 172 Eglinton Road in Mornington, Dunedin, where the Dunedin Roastery serves as the home base for the business. It's a family-owned and operated coffee roastery that started with a straightforward passion for a great cuppa, and that founding spirit still runs through the way the team operates today.
Grid prides itself on its service and what it describes as "outstanding daily banter in the roastery." Visitors are encouraged to head in for a coffee and a yarn, picking up some delicious local treats alongside their beans while they're there — a reminder that the roastery is as much a community spot as it is a working coffee business.
Beyond what's served at the roastery counter, Grid offers coffee beans for sale and runs a coffee subscription service for customers who want their beans delivered regularly rather than making a special trip in.
Grid's business extends well beyond retail, supplying coffee wholesale to independent cafes around New Zealand. The team describes their business as thriving on "the success of our friends," reflecting a genuine investment in helping those cafes serve the best cup possible in their own corner of the country. Grid also supplies coffee for offices, for anyone who just needs a reliable coffee setup at work rather than a full café relationship.
For cafes and businesses running their own equipment, Grid offers an extensive range of coffee machinery alongside servicing and training. Grid Tech, the servicing arm of the business, handles semi-commercial machines including Rocket, VBM and Isomac models, and is available to anyone regardless of whether Grid supplies their coffee. Training is also available around the clock, whether a customer is a seasoned barista or just starting out.
Grid Coffee Roasters is run by Nick van der Jagt, known as "The Boss," and Gavin Mockford, "The Chief" — a small, hands-on team reflecting the business's family-run character.
The Dunedin Roastery is open Monday to Friday from 7am to 3pm, and Saturdays from 8:30am to 1pm, or as the team puts it, "until we disappear for the day."
