Single-origin coffee roasted fresh in Woodstock

We roast single-origin coffee in Woodstock, Cape Town, then pack and send it to customers who want a dependable cup with clear flavour and a clean finish. Some prefer bright citrus notes, others want chocolate, caramel or a deeper roast for milk drinks, and we help match the coffee to the way it will be brewed. Our team checks every batch for consistency because a good cup should taste right at home, in a boardroom or on the pass at service.

A Cup Of has been working with coffee since 2012, with Michael van der Merwe leading the business and Ayanda Mkhize heading up roasting. That experience matters when you need advice on grind size, brew ratio, rotation and keeping stock moving without waste. We keep it practical, whether you are buying for a flat in Sea Point or a busy office in Sandton.

What we supply for homes, offices and service teams

We supply coffee in formats that suit daily use, from subscription boxes to bulk supply for hospitality counters and meeting rooms. If you need a once-off top up or a regular delivery plan, we can set it up around your usage and preferred roast style. Our aim is simple: keep good coffee on hand and make sure it brews well on the equipment you already use.

How we work with each client

Jason Petersen manages subscriptions, Liam Naidoo handles wholesale coordination, and Francois Smit keeps operations moving. That means quotes, schedules and deliveries are handled by people who understand turnaround times, stock levels and the pressure of service. If your team needs help with flavour notes or brew method, Naledi Molefe is there to guide the choice and keep the setup practical.

We usually start by understanding how you drink coffee, what equipment is in place and how much you go through in a week. From there we recommend the right beans, grind profile and delivery rhythm. For offices and hospitality clients, we can also help with wellness room coffee and meeting room supply so the coffee setup works across different spaces.

Where we deliver across South Africa

We are based in Woodstock, Cape Town and deliver across South Africa, with regular supply going to Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha. We also work with clients in the Southern Suburbs and along the Atlantic Seaboard, where fresh supply and fast communication make a difference. For larger orders, we plan ahead so your coffee arrives when you need it, even during busy trade weeks or when load-shedding affects normal routines.

Coastal humidity, office usage and changing seasonal demand all affect how coffee is stored and brewed. That is why we talk about practical things like airtight storage, grind adjustment and batch timing rather than leaving you to guess. If you run a café near the CBD or a small office in Pretoria, the approach stays the same: keep the coffee fresh and the process manageable.

Why clients keep coming back

People come back to A Cup Of because we keep things steady. The coffee is sourced carefully, roasted with attention and delivered with enough detail to make life easier for the person ordering. Whether it is a home subscriber, a hospitality manager or an office coordinator, clients want a supplier that answers clearly and keeps the coffee flowing without fuss.

Consistency is a big reason for repeat orders. Once your team knows the flavour profile and the brew method is set correctly, you get fewer wasted bags and fewer service issues. Add in seasonal rotation, sensible forecasting and support from a team that knows the job, and the coffee programme becomes something people trust.

Coffee support that fits the way you serve

We do more than sell beans. We help clients plan how coffee should work in their space, from the first cup of the morning to the last round before closing time. That can include coffee menu planning for restaurants, stock planning for offices or training for staff who need to make the same cup well every day. Small details count here, and a measured approach saves both time and money.

For businesses in Cape Town and beyond, the benefit is local knowledge with nationwide reach. You get a Woodstock roasting base, a hands-on team and a supply plan that suits the way South African customers actually drink coffee. That is why clients stay with us year after year.
