We are the Captains of Cup
Earthbound explorers roaming the globe to bring you your perfect coffee experience.
From stovetop to slow drip, café-made or countertop, the coffee we source, roast and deliver represents the most honest coffees the world has to offer. With diverse and intriguing flavour profiles, a considered roasting philosophy and expert advice on how best to prepare, we are earthbound adventurers on a mission to guide you to you your perfect cup, from the ground up.
Sustainable Sourcing
The Full Spectrum family covers a lot of ground, but these distances don’t mean we aren’t close. We take pride in nurturing our relationships with our import and export partners to ensure that fair prices are being paid to coffee producers for their hard work. Knowing that the livelihoods of those who work at ground zero are being protected is our top priority (and helps us get a little more z’s at night).
A Lighter Footprint
We utilise recyclable packaging made from plant based materials so not to contribute to the overwhelming waste generated by the coffee industry. We are forever looking for new ways to utilise our hessian bags! If you've got new uses, please reach out. We encourage cafes and home brewers to recycle their spent grounds by mixing them through compost or donating to local home vege growers.
The Bods Behind the Brew
Our founder, Todd McCarthy or as we like to call him ‘Captain of Cup’, is a serious bean-a-holic. Since a child he’s been working his way to coffee mastery, from working in with big coffee players such as Campos Coffee to smaller boutique roastery's like Reuben Hills and Deluca, to achieving Q- Arabrica Grader and Q-Processing certification. Above all else, he loves to share his passion and knowledge about coffee with those who want to hear it, so when he’s not managing Full Spectrum, he’ll be running cupping rooms to take curious coffee drinkers on flavour journeys like no else.
